Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows an equilateral triangle (because all angles are congruent). All sides in equilateral triangle are congruent, so

$4x-10=5x-22=3x+2$

Solve the equation

$4x-10=5x-22\\ \\4x-10-4x=5x-22-4x\\ \\-10=x-22\\ \\-10+22=x-22+22\\ \\12=x$

Check this value:

$4x-10=4\cdot 12-10=48-10=38\ units \\ \\5x-22=5\cdot 12-22=60-22=38\ units\\ \\3x+2=3\cdot 12+2=36+2=38\ units$

Thus, $x=12$

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the selling price of each widget

y ---> the amount of profit

we have

$y=-3x^{2} +155x-1148$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum amount of profit the company can make

using a graphing tool

Find out the vertex of the quadratic equation

The vertex is the point (25.83,854.08)

see the attached figure

The y-coordinate of the vertex is 854.08

therefore

The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08

Determine if

Gnesinka [82]

The values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The function is given as:

16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1

The above function is a horizontal hyperbola.

A horizontal hyperbola that passes through the origin is represented as:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$

Rewrite 16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1 as

$\frac{x^2}{1/16} - \frac{y^2}{1/25} = 1$

By comparison, we have:

$a^2 = \frac{1}{16}$

$b^2 = \frac{1}{25}$

Solve for a and b

$a = \frac{1}{4}$

$b = \frac{1}{5}$

Hence, the values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively
