Answer:

C. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The height of an isosceles triangle divide the triangle into two equal right triangles.

so

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem at one triangle

13^2=(x+7)^2+(2x/2)^2

solve for x

169=x^2+14x+49+x^2

2x^2+14x-120=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is x=5

see the attached figure

therefore

The length of the base is

2(5)=10\ units

A certain circle can be represented by the following equation. x^2+y^2+18x+14y+105=0 What is the center of the circle? What is t
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the equation for a circle:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

We need to turn the given equation into the above format. We do this by completing the square.

First, group them:

(x^2+18x)+(y^2+14y)=-105

For the first section, complete the square for x^2+18x:

x^2+18x+81-81

(x+9)^2-81

Do the same for the second:

y^2+14y

y^2+14y+49-49

(y+7)^2-49

All together:

((x+9)^2-81)+((y+7)^2-49)=-105

(x+9)^2+(y+7)^2-130=-105

(x+9)^2+(y+7)^2=25

The center is (-9,-7).

The radius is \sqrt{25}=5

Video Example EXAMPLE 1 Find the linearization of the function f(x) = x + 1 at a = 3 and use it to approximate the numbers 3.98
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

  the linearization is y = 1/4x +5/4

  the linearization will produce <em>overestimates</em>

  the values computed from this linearization are ...

     f(3.98) ≈ 2.245

     f(4.05) ≈ 2.2625

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you have ...

  f(x)=\sqrt{x+1}

from which you have correctly determined that ...

  f'(x)=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}

so that f(3) = 2 and f'(3) = 1/4. Putting these values into the point-slope form of the equation of a line, we get the linearization ...

  g(x) = (1/4)(x -3) +2

  g(x) = (1/4)x +5/4

__

The values from this linearization will be overestimates, as the curve f(x) is concave downward everywhere. The tangent (linearization) is necessarily above the curve everywhere.

__

At the given values, we find ...

  g(3.98) = 2.245

  g(4.05) = 2.2625

Write each fraction or mixed number as a decimal.<br> 19/25<br> 311/500<br> 5/8<br> 145/8
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

19/25 = 0.76

311/500 = 0.622

5/8 = 0.625

145/8 = 18.12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the first number by the second like 145 divided by 18.
