Answer: The area of the figure is 400 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the diagram attached.

The diagram in the question shows a parallelogram ABCD attached to a right angled triangle EBC.

In order to compute the total area of the entire figure, the area of both detachments would have to be calculated separately and then summed up.

To calculate the area of a parallelogram ABCD, the formula is

Area = b x h

where b = base and h = perpendicular height.

The base is 20 inches while the height is 16 inches.

Therefore,

Area = 20 x 16

Area = 320 in^2

Next we calculate the area of triangle EBC. Area of a triangle is given as

Area = 1/2 base x height

Where the base = 20 (line AD is equal to line BC = 20) and height = 8. Therefore,

Area = 1/2 (20) x 8

Area = 10 x 8

Area = 80 in^2

Having calculated the area of the two parts of the entire figure, the area of the entire figure is given as

Area of parallelogram ABCD + Area of triangle EBC

We now have 320 + 80 = 400

Hence, area of the figure = 400 square inches

Check the picture below.

so the area of that figure is simply the area of that triangle and parallelogram added up.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{triangle's area}}{\cfrac{1}{2}(20)(8)}~~ + ~~\stackrel{\textit{parallelogram's area}}{(20)(16)}\implies 80+320\implies 400$

Which pair of expressions represents inverse functions

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: C. $\dfrac{x+3}{4x-2}$ and $\dfrac{2x+3}{4x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation: if a function f(x) has g(x) as its inverse then it satisfies fog(x)=x and gof(x)=x

C. f(x)= $\dfrac{x+3}{4x-2}$ and g(x)= $\dfrac{2x+3}{4x-1}$

fog(x)=f( $\dfrac{2x+3}{4x-1}$ )

= $\dfrac{\dfrac{2x+3}{4x-1}+3 }{\dfrac{4(2x+3)}{4x-1}-2 }$

gof(x)=g( $\dfrac{x+3}{4x-2}$ )

= $\dfrac{\dfrac{2(x+3)}{4x-2} +3}{\dfrac{4(x+3)}{4x-2}-1 }$

hence C. is the pair of inverse functions

The ratio of the price of a used washer to a new one is 1:3. If the new washer cost $720 how much could you resell it used?

Alja [10]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
used&new\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1&3\\
u&720
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{u}=\cfrac{3}{720}\implies \cfrac{720\cdot 1}{3}=u$

Iv)<br>6x+3y=6xy<br>2x + 4y= 5xy

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Ok, we have a system of equations:

6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y

2*x + 4*y = 5*x*y

First, we want to isolate one of the variables,

As we have almost the same expression (x*y) in the right side of both equations, we can see the quotient between the two equations:

(6*x + 3*y)/(2*x + 4*y) = 6/5

now we isolate one off the variables:

6*x + 3*y = (6/5)*(2*x + 4*y) = (12/5)*x + (24/5)*y

x*(6 - 12/5) = y*(24/5 - 3)

x = y*(24/5 - 3)/(6 - 12/5) = 0.5*y

Now we can replace it in the first equation:

6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y

6*(0.5*y) + 3*y = 6*(0.5*y)*y

3*y + 3*y = 3*y^2

3*y^2 - 6*y = 0

Now we can find the solutions of that quadratic equation as:

$y = \frac{6 +- \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4*3*0} }{2*3} = \frac{6 +- 6}{6}$

So we have two solutions

y = 0

y = 2.

Suppose that we select the solution y = 0

Then, using one of the equations we can find the value of x:

2*x + 4*0 = 5*x*0

2*x = 0

x = 0

(0, 0) is a solution

if we select the other solution, y = 2.

2*x + 4*2 = 5*x*2

2*x + 8 = 10*x

8 = (10 - 2)*x = 8x

x = 1.

(1, 2) is other solution
