Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure in the question was split into the triangles in the attachment to the solution.

Now applying the principle of similar triangles, we have:

$\frac{16}{x} = \frac{x}{9}$

cross-multiplying, we have:

$x^{2} = 16*9 = 144$

solving for x,

x = 12

You are given the parametric equations x=2cos(θ),y=sin(2θ). (a) List all of the points (x,y) where the tangent line is horizonta

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line at a point of the curve is:

$m = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }$

$m = -\frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta}$

The tangent line is horizontal when $m = 0$ . Then:

$\cos 2\theta = 0$

$2\theta = \cos^{-1}0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \cos^{-1} 0$

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+i\cdot \pi \right)$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + i\cdot \frac{\pi}{2}$ , for all $i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}$

The first four solutions are:

x: $\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: 1 -1 1 -1

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x: $-\sqrt{2}$ $-\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\sqrt{2}$

y: -1 1 -1 1

If 1/2x+1/3=4 What is the value of 3x+2y

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

x=3/22 ; y=-9/44

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+1/3=4

=>1/2x=4-1/3

=>1/2x=(12-1)/3

=>1/2x=11/3

=>22x=3

=>x=3/22....(1)

then,

3x+2y

2y=-3 . (3/22)

y=-9/44

If AC is parallel to DE, find X

UNO [17]

Answer: x = 50

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of alternative interior angles and the angle sum theorem.

Alternative interior angles are angles that are formed inside the two parallel lines, and the values are equal.

The angle sum theorem implies that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below or let me know.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

AC ║ DE

∠ABC = 85°

∠A = 135°

Find the value of ∠BAC

∠A + ∠BAC = 180° (Supplementary angle)

(135°) + ∠BAC = 180°

∠BAC = 45°

Find the value of ∠BCA

∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA = 180° (Angle sum theorem)

(85°) + (45°) + ∠BCA = 180°

∠BCA = 50°

Find the value of x (∠EBC)

∠EBC ≅ ∠BCA (Alternative interior angles)

Since, ∠BCA = 50°

Therefore, ∠EBC = 50°

$\Large\boxed{x=50}$

Hope this helps!! :)
