please help, answer will get brainliest!!! The formula for the area of a triangle is A = one-half b h. Hiro is solving the equat

ion for h; his work is shown below. What mistake did Hiro make? A = one-half b h. 2 times A = 2 times (one-half b h). 2 A = b h. 2 A minus b = h. Hiro should have divided both sides of the equation by 2. Hiro should have divided both sides of the equation by b. Hiro should have added b to both sides of the equation. Hiro should have subtracted 2 from both sides of the equation.

Answer:

Hiro should have divided both sides of the equation by b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula for area of a triangle (A) = ½bh, Hiro was expected to solve for h.

To find out where Hiro made a mistake, let's solve for h step by step as it ought to be solved.

Thus,

A = ½ bh

==>Multiply both sides by 2:

2*A = 2 * [½bh]

2A = bh

==>Divide both sides by b:

(2A)/b = (bh)/b

(2A)/b = h

h = (2A)/b

The mistake Hiro made was that he subtracted b from both sides of the equation instead if dividing both sides by b.

Hiro should have divided both sides of the equation by b

For what values of x and y are the triangles congruent?
KatRina [158]
For y
since both triangles are congruent,
6y-8=2y+8
4y=16
y=4
For x
5x-5y=2y+7
since y is 4, substitute y to 4
so,
5x-5(4)=2(4)+7
5x-20=15
5x=35
x=7

A certain electronics manufacturer found that the average cost C to produce x DVD/Blu- ray players can be found using the equati
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The minimum average cost is $643.75

It should be built 62.5 machines to achieve the minimum average cost

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the cost C to produce x DVD/BLU-ray players is C = 0.04x² - 5x + 800

To find the minimum cost differentiate C to equate it by 0 to find the average cost per machine and to find the value of the minimum cost

∵ C = 0.04x² - 5x + 800

- Differentiate C with respect to x

∴ \frac{dC}{dx}=0.04(2)x^{2-1}-5(1)x^{1-1}+0

∴ \frac{dC}{dx}=0.08x-5

- Equate \frac{dC}{dx} by 0

∴ 0.08x - 5 = 0

- Add 5 to both sides

∴ 0.08x = 5

- Divide both sides by 0.08

∴ x = 62.5

That means the minimum average cost is at x = 62.5

Substitute the value of x in C to find the minimum average cost

∵ C = 0.04(62.5)² - 5(62.5) + 800

∴ C = 643.75

∵ C is the average cost

∴ The minimum average cost is $643.75

∵ x is the number of the machines

∴ It should be built 62.5 machines to achieve the minimum

The figure below shows rectangle ABCD with diagonals segment AC and segment DB:
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

segment BC ≅ segment BC (reflexive property of congruence)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflexive property of congruence states that an angle, line segment, or shape is always congruent to itself.

Before statement 6, you need to prove that side BC is the same for both triangles

What is the following product? Assume x>/=0 ^3sqrt(x^2)*^sqrtx^3
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x(\sqrt[12]{x^5} )

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember 2 rules when doing these:

1. \sqrt[n]{x^a} =x^{\frac{a}{n}}

2. x^a*x^b=x^{ab}

Using these 2 rules, we can simplify the product (steps shown below):

\sqrt[3]{x^2} *\sqrt[4]{x^3} \\=x^{\frac{2}{3}}*x^{\frac{3}{4}}\\=x^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}}\\=x^{\frac{17}{12}}\\=x^{\frac{12}{12}+\frac{5}{12}}\\=x(x^{\frac{5}{12}})\\=x(\sqrt[12]{x^5} )

Rearranging, we see that it is the third choice.
