The equation to represent the area of the triangle would be:
y = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
The equation to represent the perimeter of the triangle would be:
y = 3x - 6
The solutions to the system would be (12, 30) or (1, -3). The only viable solution is (12, 30).
Explanation
The area of a triangle is found using the formula
A = 1/2bh
For our triangle, b = x and h = x-7, so we have:
A = 1/2(x)(x-7)
A = 1/2(x²-7x)
A = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
We will replace A with y, so we have:
y = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
The perimeter of a triangle is found by adding together all sides, so we have:
P = (x-7) + x + (x+1)
Combining like terms we get:
P = 3x - 6
We will replace P with y, so we have:
y = 3x - 6
Since both equations have y isolated on one side, it will be easy to use substitution to solve the system:
3x - 6 = 1/2(x²) - (7/2)x
It's easier to work with whole numbers, so we will multiply everything by 2:
6x - 12 = x² - 7x
We want all of the variables on one side, so we will subtract 6x:
6x - 12 - 6x = x² - 7x - 6x
-12 = x² - 13x
When solving quadratics, we want the equation equal to 0, so we will add 12:
-12+12 = x² - 13x + 12
0 = x² - 13x + 12
This is easy to factor, as there are factors of 12 that sum to -13; -12(-1) = 12 and -12+-1 = -13:
0 = (x-12)(x-1)
Using the zero product property, we know that either x-12=0 or x-1=0; therefore x=12 or x=1.
Putting these back into our equation for perimeter (the simplest one) we have:
y = 3(12)-6 = 36-6 = 30; (12, 30);
y = 3(1) - 6 = 3 - 6 = -3; (1, -3)
We cannot have a negative perimeter, so the only viable solution is (12, 30).
Answer:
it's used in conjunction with variance
Answer:
a) 51.4
b) answer attached
c) 48.59% female
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Male driver = 100-48.6 = 51.4%
b) answer attached below
c) probability that out of 20-64 group a randomly selected sample is female
( 39.54 ÷ 81.36 ) x 100
= 48.59% chance of her being a female
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
c -----> the additional amount (in dollars) David will spend
we know that
The word " at most" in this context means "less than or equal to"
The amount David has spent plus possible additional amounts he will spend must be less than or equal to $39
so
The inequality that represent this situation is
solve for c
subtract 22 both sides
The maximum amount he could spend is $17
The interior angles of a parallelogram will always equal 360. The interior angles of a triangle are 180 if it is a equilateral triangle then the angles are 60 degrees each. You know 2 sides of parallelogram. The 100 degree and 90 degree. You can find the one opposing the x because it’s on a straight line and a straight line is 180 degrees if a triangle is 60 degree angle then the opposing angle to complete the straight line must be 180-60 so you get 120. You now know 3 sides. 120, 90 and 100
They should add up to be 360 so you can set up an equation like so
120+90+100+x=360
And x = 50
