Determine the possible smallest value(s) of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 5, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents to a circle from an external point are congruent, that is

x² = 12x - 35 ( subtract 12x - 35 from both sides )

x² - 12x + 35 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 35) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 12)

The factors are - 5 and - 7, since

- 5 × - 7 = + 35 and - 5 - 7 = - 12, thus

(x - 5)(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

smallest value of x is 5

largest value of x is 7

Geometry- I need an answer for x and y.
elixir [45]

Answer:

x = 13sqrt(3) ft = 22.5 ft

y = 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse = 1 : sqrt(3) : 2

From the ratio above we see that the hypotenuse is twice the short leg.

The long leg is sqrt(3) times the short leg.

y = short leg

x = long leg

26 ft = hypotenuse

y = 26 ft/2 = 13 ft

x = 13 ft * sqrt(3) = 13sqrt(3) ft = 22.5 ft

Galen sold tickets for his church’s carnival for a total of $2,820. Children’s tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $5 ea
Veronika [31]

Answer:

a = 195 ; c = 615

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you want to start by forming your equations...

I will use 'c' for children and 'a' for adults for my variables

3a + 30 = c  

(this is because of the info that 30 more tickets than 3 times the amount of children's were sold than adult)

then for equation 2:

3c + 5a = 2820

(this is because of the prices of the tickets and the total money raised)

Then, plug in the equation for c

Your equation should look like:

3(3a + 30) + 5a = 2820

You get:

(9a +90) + 5a = 2820

Then:

14a = 2730

So:

a = 195 adult tickets sold

Plug in a, to find c:

3 (195) + 30 = c

585 + 30 = c

c = 615 children tickets sold
