Answer:

5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

From ΔBCD, ∠BCD = 90-∠ACD

∠BCD = 90-60

∠BCD = 30°

Also tan60 = CD/BD

tan 60 = CD/5

CD = 5tan60

CD = 5√3 cm

Similarly from ΔACD, tan30 = CD/AD

tan30 = 5√3/AD

AD = 5√3/tan30

AD =  5√3/(1/√3)

AD = 5√3 * √3/1

AD = 5 cm

Hence the length of side AD is 5cm

You need an equation system.

First, translate the text into equations :

y = total price for the bike
x = number of months

first bike :
y = 25x + 500

second bike :
y = 50x + 200

Then you have to solve the system by placing the two equations side by side and comparing them.

25x + 500 = 50x + 200

Solve to find the value of x

How do you convert a radical expression to a rational exponent and vice versa?
krok68 [10]

Take  the expression  x^2/3  which has an exponent  of 2/3.  The top of the fraction refers to the power  - that is  x^2 ( x squared). and the 3 indicates  a cubic root.

So in radical form  it is  ∛(x^2)

Converting radical to exponent  an example would be

∛(x^5)   =  x^(5/3)

What’s the y-intercept? i found the slope already.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 is the y-intercept because the point is (0,3.5). This is where it intercepts with the y-axis.

Hope it helps!
