Answer:

The shortest leg is _3_ inches long.

The other leg is __4_inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of the right angle triangle are x inches, x-1 iinches, 5inchrs

From Pythagoras rule,

x^2+(x-1)^2=25

2x^2-2x-24=0

x^2-x-12=0

x=4 or -3

The shorter leg =4-1=3

Evelyn can run 3 miles in 40 minutes. Which equation can be solved to find m, the number of miles Evelyn can run in 60 minutes?
inna [77]

Answer:

m= 4.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles Evelyn can run be m and can be modeled by the equation below

m= kx

Where x Is the Minutes

When m= 3

x= 40

3= k40

k= 3/40

If x= 60

m=3/40(60)

m = (60*3)/40

m= 180/40

m= 4.5 miles

Identify the biggest perfect square for 75
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We just multiply 75 with 3 to make it a perfect square. This is because, 75 = 5 × 5 × 3. 3 doesn't have a pair. Thus 75 × 3 = 225 and √225 is 15.

If sin(xy)=x^2, then dy/dx =
kumpel [21]
Hello,

f(x,y)=sin(xy)-x^2\\

 \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} =cos(xy)*y-2x\\
 \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y} =cos(xy)*x\\

 \dfrac{dy}{dx} =-\dfrac{\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}}{\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}}\\

=- \dfrac{cos(xy)*y-2x}{cos(xy)*x}\\\\

=- \dfrac{y}{x}+ \dfrac{2}{cos(xy)} \\

How to find the solutions of the equation g^2-4g=45
jasenka [17]

Answer:

To find the solutions to the following questions what you would need to do is to factor out the common variable or g. Which would be the following:

g(g-4) = 45

g = 45

g2 = 49

This is more of the erraneous way to find the solution for the original one factor the expression

Step-by-step explanation:

g2 - 4g - 45 = 0

(g-9)(g+5) = 0

you can figure out what the 2 roots would be.
