First make x the subject of f(x) = 2x - 10:-
2x = f(x) + 10
x = 1/2 f(x) + 5
mow replace x by hx) and f(x) by x:-
h(x )= 1/2 x + 5
It is neccesary because you cannot subtract them without having a common denominator so you have to rename 4 1/2
Answer: 21.44 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Radius r=15 cm
distance of chord from the center is 10 cm
From the figure, the length of the chord is AC
Applying Pythagoras
The length of the chord is 
This may not be very pretty.
(2x + 5) * (2x + 5) expanded is (use foil)
F = 4x^2
O = 2x * 5 = 10x
I = 2x + 5 = 10x
L = 25
Total = 4x^2 + 20x + 25
(x + 3)(x + 3) = x^2 + 6x + 9 by the same method
(2x + 7)(2x + 7) = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Same method.
4x^2 + 20x + 25 + x^2 + 6x + 9 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49
5x^2 + 26x + 34 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Collect everything on the left.
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
x + 3 will have no meaning.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
2x + 5 = 2*5 + 5 = 15
x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
2x+ 7 = 2*5 +7 = 17
Check
15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2
225 + 64 = ? 289
289 = 289
a = 15 <<<<< answer
b = 8 <<<<< answer
c = 17 <<<<< answer
Answer:
C) 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
you use the pythagorean theorem to find the height.
a² + b² = c²
a = radius
b = height
c = slant height
15² + h² = 17²
h = 8
