Find the value of X in the triangle shown below

Mathematics

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a<em>² + b² = c²</em>) to solve this problem.

<em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the legs, while <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse, or the longest side. In this case, <em>x </em>and 7 are the legs, while 9 is the length of the hypotenuse.

<em>x² + 7² = 9²</em>

<em>x² + 49 = 81</em>

<em>x² = 32</em>

<em>x = √32</em>

Answer:

x = sqrt(32)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+ b^2 = c^2

7^2 + x^2 = 9^2

49+x^2 = 81

Subtract 49 from each side

x^2 = 81-49

x^2 =32

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(32)

x = sqrt(32)

As a first step in solving the system shown, Yumiko multiplies both sides of the equation 2x – 3y = 12 by 6. By what factor shou
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Yumiko should multiply the other equation by 3.

If she adds the two equations she would be left with the variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two equations are as follows:

$ 2x - 3y = 12 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (1) $

$ 5x + 6y = 18 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (2) $

It is given that she multiplies the first equation by 6. Therefore, (1) becomes

$ 12x - 18y = 72 \hspace{15mm} \hdots (a) $

Now, note that the sign of the variable 'y' is negative. So, if we make the co-effecient of 'y' equal in both the cases, add them it would result in the elimination of the variable 'y'.

The co-effecient of y in Equation (2) is 6. To make it 18 like it is in Equation (1), we multiply throughout by 3.

Therefore, Equation (2) becomes:

$ 15x + 18y = 54 \hspace{5mm} \hdots (b) $

Now, we add Equation (a) and Equation (b).

$ \implies 12x - 18y + 15x + 18y = 72 + 54 $

$ \implies 27x = 126 $

Factor: 3

Equation: 27x = 126

Which of the following are roots of the polynomial function? Check all that apply.
lutik1710 [3]

You know 1 is not a root because the sum of the coeffcients of the equation is 14, not zero.

It is fairly easy to try 3 by synthetic division (see attachment), which tells you that 3 is a root and the remaining quadratic factor is x²-3x-5. The quadratic formula tells you the roots of that factor are

... x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (3±√29)/2

The appropriate choices are

... C. (3-√29)/2

... D. (3+√29)/2

... F. 3

_____

The quadratic formula tells you the solution to

... ax²+bx+c=0

is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

We have a=1, b=-3, c=-5.

Which statement is modeled by the expression?
Afina-wow [57]
A librarian has 150 books to be placed on shelves with an equal number of books on each shelf. If k is the number of shelves to be used, then 150/k is the number of books on each shelf.

Example : lets say there are 10 shelves.....so k = 10
150/10 = 15 books on each shelf.

A large explosion causes wood and metal debris to rise vertically into the air with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. T
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

the height after 2 seconds will be 128 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial velocity = 96 feet per second

The function of height of falling debris above the ground is given as:

h(t) = 96t - 16t²

A) To find height after time t = 2 seconds

substituting the value of time in the above function, we get

h(t) = 96 × 2 - 16 × 2²

or

h(t) = 192 - 16 × 4

or

h(t) = 192 - 64

or

h(t) = 128 feet

Hence,

the height after 2 seconds will be 128 feet
