What is the value of x?

Mathematics

Mariulka [41]3 years ago

Answer:  x = 7

`Step-by-step explanation:

Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:

 9 cm       72 cm

----------- = -----------

3x - 20      56 cm

Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²

Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:

3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7

Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27.  Then x must be 9.

For each exponential function, a) write a new function, and b) sketch the corresponding graph (on the same coordinate plane) bas
Luda [366]

A reflection over the y-axis means that "x" will change signs.

A dilation causes the graph to stretch (if the factor is greater than 1) or shrink/compress (if the factor is between 0 and 1). Usually, the instructions will say whether it is a vertical or horizontal stretch (or shrink) so you know which variable is affected. Since it was not specified, I am going to assume that this is both a vertical and a horizontal shrink.

Answer: y = \frac{1}{2}(4^{-2x})

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

3x-2y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line having slope \frac{3}{2} and passing through (-4,-7).

The\ equation\ of\ line\ is\ given\ by\ y=mx+c\ where\ m\ is\ the\ slope\ of\ line.\\\\Here\ m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\Equation\ y=\frac{3}{2}x+c\\\\Line\ passes\ through\ (-4,-7),\ it\ will\ satisfy\ the\ equation\ of\ line.\\\\-7=\frac{3}{2}\times (-4)+c\\\\-7=-6+c\\\\c=-7+6\\\\c=-1\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x-1\\\\2y=3x-2\\\\3x-2y=2

Can someone plsss help me
balu736 [363]

Answer:

y = -5/3 x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So immediately you can see that b must be 40, since the line crosses the y axis at 40.

The slope can be calculated by finding two "nice" points on the line that are also grid lines.

How about (0,40) and (6, 30).

Then, calculate the slope by dividing the y difference by the x difference:

(30-40)/(6-0) = -10/6 = -5/3

So C must be the answer.

The measure of b is..
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

b =21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

20^2 + b^2 = 29^1

400 + b^2 =841

Subtract 400 from each side

b^2 = 441

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(441)

b =21
