Answer: x=-24

Step-by-step explanation:

8-1/3x=16

First you would subtract the 8 from both sides like so:

8-1/3x=16

-8. -8

Giving you:

-1/3x=8

Then you would divide by -1/3:

-1/3x=8

÷-1/3. ÷-1/3

But you can divide by a fraction so you actually multiply by the opposite reciprocal:

X=8(-3)

Giving you:

X=-24

In a right triangle ABC, CD is an altitude, such that AD=BC. Find AC, if AB=3 cm, and CD= 2 cm.
konstantin123 [22]

Consider right triangle ΔABC with legs AC and BC and hypotenuse AB. Draw the altitude CD.

1. Theorem: The length of each leg of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.

According to this theorem,

BC^2=BD\cdot AB.

Let BC=x cm, then AD=BC=x cm and BD=AB-AD=3-x cm. Then

x^2=(3-x)\cdot 3,\\ \\x^2=9-3x,\\ \\x^2+3x-9=0,\\ \\D=3^2-4\cdot (-9)=9+36=45,\\ \\\sqrt{D}=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt{5},\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{-3-3\sqrt{5} }{2}0.

Take positive value x. You get

AD=BC=\dfrac{-3+3\sqrt{5} }{2}\ cm.

2. According to the previous theorem,

AC^2=AD\cdot AB.

Then

AC^2=\dfrac{-3+3\sqrt{5} }{2}\cdot 3=\dfrac{-9+9\sqrt{5} }{2},\\ \\AC=\sqrt{\dfrac{-9+9\sqrt{5} }{2}}\ cm.

Answer: AC=\sqrt{\dfrac{-9+9\sqrt{5} }{2}}\ cm.

This solution doesn't need CD=2 cm. Note that if AB=3cm and CD=2cm, then

CD^2=AD\cdot DB,\\ \\2^2=AD\cdot (3-AD),\\ \\AD^2-3AD+4=0,\\ \\D

This means that you cannot find solutions of this equation. Then CD≠2 cm.

In a small town, the use of coal (W in tons/per
zimovet [89]

Answer:

i)W = 2500 / T

ii)  W = 500 Tons

iii) grad W(10°) = - 25î

iv) The formulation is not practical

Step-by-step explanation:

i)  Write an equation describing the use of coal

As use of coal is inversely proportional to the average monthly temperature

if  W is use of coal in tons/per month then

W(t)  =   k / T              where k is a constant of proportionality and T is the average temperature in degrees. We have to determine k from given conditions

k  =  ??   we know that when   T  =  25°    W = 100 tons  the by subtitution

W = k/T           100  =  k /25       k  =  2500 Tons*degree

Then final equation is:

W = 2500 / T

ii) Find the amount of coal when T = 5 degrees

W = 2500 / 5

W = 500 Tons

iii)

The inverse proportionality implies that W will decrease as T increase.

The vector gradient of W function is:

grad W  = DW(t)/dt î  

grad W  = - 2500/T² î

Wich agrees with the fact that W is decreasing.

And when T = 100°

grad W(10°) =  - 2500/ 100 î      ⇒  grad W(10°) = - 25î

iv) When T =  0  The quantity of coal tends to infinite and the previous formulation is not practical

What numbers are 1.4 units from −3.2 on a number line? pick one from both sets of answers
Fantom [35]

First, add 1.4 to the number given.

-3.2 + 1.4 = 1.4 - 3.2 = -2.2

a.-2.2 is one of your answer

Next, subtract 1.4 to the number given

-3.2 - 1.4 = -4.6

a.-4.6 is your next answer

a. -2.2, a. -4.6 are your two answers

hope this helps
