Answer:  The answer is 3\dfrac{4}{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given in the question that ΔAM is a right-angled triangle, where ∠C = 90°, CP ⊥ AM, AC : CM = 3 : 4 and MP - AP = 1. We are to find AM.

Let, AC = 3x and CM = 4x.

In the right-angled triangle ACM, we have

AM^2=AC^2+CM^2=(3x)^2+(4x)^2=9x^2+16x^2=25x^2\\\\\Rightarrow AM=5x.

Now,

AM=AP+PM=AP+(AP+1)\\\\\Rightarrow 2AP=AM-1\\\\\Rightarrow 2AP=5x-1.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)

Now, since CP ⊥ AM, so ΔACP and ΔMCP are both right-angled triangles.

So,

CP^2=AC^2-AP^2=CM^2-MP^2\\\\\Rightarrow (3x)^2-AP^2=(4x)^2-(AP+1)^2\\\\\Rightarrow 9x^2-AP^2=16x^2-AP^2-2AP-1\\\\\Rightarrow 2AP=7x^2-1.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(B)

Comparing equations (A) and (B), we have

5x-1=7x^2-1\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=7x^2\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5}{7},~\textup{since }x\neq 0.

Thus,

AM=5\times\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{25}{7}=3\dfrac{4}{7}.

The sum of 2 times a number and 8 is 7
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2

using the midpoint formula find the coordinates of the midpoint 9f each sigment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)​
exis [7]

Answer:

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of a segment:

The midpoint of a segment is given by the mean of its coordinates.

Segment with end points (4,2),(-5,-1)​

x-coordinates: 4 and -5

y-coordinates: 2 and -1

x-coordinate of the midpoint:

x = \frac{4-5}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} = -0.5

y-coordinate of the midpoint:

y = \frac{2-1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5

The midpoint of the segment is (-0.5,0.5).

The people of Whoville were shopping like crazy to get their lists completed! one customer bought a wreath for $12 and seven orn
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 6 dollars

Step-by-step explanation: since the total price is 54 dollars and we know the price of the wreath, we subtract the wreath from the total, leaving us with 42. Then we do 42 divided by 7 to get the price per ornament(which is too high to be reasonable in any universe), 6 dollars.

A spherical balloon is being inflated at a rate of 3 cubic inches per second. Determine the change in the rate of the radius.How
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The rate rate of change of radius is \frac{1}{48\pi} inches per second when the diameter is 12 inches.

The radius is changing more rapidly when the diameter is 12 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A spherical balloon is being inflated at a rate of 3 cubic inches per second.

The volume of sphere is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Differentiate the above formula with respect to time.

\frac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}

Substitute the respective values in the above formula,

3=4\pi 6^2\frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{1}{48\pi}=\frac{dr}{dt}

The rate rate of change of radius is \frac{1}{48\pi} inches per second when the diameter is 12 inches.

When d=16

3=4\pi 8^2\frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{3}{256\pi}=\frac{dr}{dt}

Thus, the radius is changing more rapidly when the diameter is 12 inches.
