In the poportion 1/z =4/5/8 which number is equal to z in the proportion

Mathematics

1 answer:

Nady [450]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

case 1) $z=10$

case 2) $z=5/32$

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1) we know that

Using proportion

$\frac{1}{z}=\frac{(4/5)}{8}$

solve for z

$\frac{1}{z}=\frac{(4/5)}{8}\\ \\z(4/5)=8\\ \\z=8*5/4\\ \\z=10$

case 2) we know that

Using proportion

$\frac{1}{z}=\frac{4}{5/8}$

solve for z

$\frac{1}{z}=\frac{4}{5/8}\\ \\4z=5/8\\ \\z=5/32$

in isosceles triangle the length of a leg is 17 cm, the vase is 16 cm. find the length of the altitude to the base

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude is one leg of the right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base, and the triangle side. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so you have ...

... (17 cm)² = (altitude)² + (16 cm/2)²

... altitude = √(17² -8²) cm = √225 cm

... altitude = 15 cm

What is Limit of StartFraction StartRoot x + 1 EndRoot minus 2 Over x minus 3 EndFraction as x approaches 3?

scoray [572]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} }$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

Special Limit Rule [L’Hopital’s Rule]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify given limit.

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3}$

Step 2: Find Limit

Let's start out by directly evaluating the limit:

[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3}$
Evaluate:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3} \\& = \frac{0}{0} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}$

When we do evaluate the limit directly, we end up with an indeterminant form. We can now use L' Hopital's Rule to simply the limit:

[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [L' Hopital's Rule]:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\\end{aligned}$
[Limit] Differentiate [Derivative Rules and Properties]:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}$
[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}$
Evaluate:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \\& = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} } \\\end{aligned}$
