Answer:

The correct answer is B. x ≈ 4.5, y = 5, z = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We will use the Pythagorean theorem for solving for x, this way:

x² = 6² - 4²

x² = 36 - 16

x² = 20

x = √20

x = 2 √5 = 4.47 ≈ 4.5

2. For solving for y, we will do it this way:

There are only two possible options: y = 5, included in answer B or y = 9 as it is defined on answer C.

If we review it carefully, we will realize that y = 9 is not accurate because as we can see in the graph y + 4 = z and in this specific case, 9 + 4 ≠ 5 but it's true that 5 + 4 = 9.

Because of this reason, the correct answer is B. x ≈ 4.5, y = 5, z = 9

The sum of three numbers in g.p. is 21 and the sum of their squares is 189. find the numbers.

sashaice [31]

Let the three gp be a, ar and ar^2
a + ar + ar^2 = 21 => a(1 + r + r^2) = 21 . . . (1)
a^2 + a^2r^2 + a^2r^4 = 189 => a^2(1 + r^2 + r^4) = 189 . . . (2)
squaring (1) gives
a^2(1 + r + r^2)^2 = 441 . . . (3)
(3) ÷ (2) => (1 + r + r^2)^2 / (1 + r^2 + r^4) = 441/189 = 7/3
3(1 + r + r^2)^2 = 7(1 + r^2 + r^4)
3(r^4 + 2r^3 + 3r^2 + 2r + 1) = 7(1 + r^2 + r^4)
3r^4 + 6r^3 + 9r^2 + 6r + 3 = 7 + 7r^2 + 7r^4
4r^4 - 6r^3 - 2r^2 - 6r + 4 = 0
r = 1/2 or r = 2
From (1), a = 21/(1 + r + r^2)
When r = 2:
a = 21/(1 + 2 + 4) = 21/7 = 3
Therefore, the numbers are 3, 6 and 12.

30 Points please help!! Please explain too!

sergiy2304 [10]

Initial: 200 feet = opp. side
Angle = 17.31, adj. Side = a
So tan (17.31) = opp. Side / adj. Side
tan (17.31) = 200 / a
--> a = 200/tan17.31 = 641.73
When stopped: adj. Still = a
Opp. Side still = 200, angle = 46.41
tan46.41 = 200 / a
--> a = 200/tan46.41 = 190.39
Now subtract those two distances to get the distance traveled from initial to when it stopped:
641.73 - 190.39 = 451.34 feet

Explain why the graph below does not represent a direct variation

Nitella [24]

Answer:

C. The line does not go through the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a straight line graph that doesn't pass through origin (0,0) and has y-intercept at (0,3).

Now we need to decide why that graph doesn't represent a direct variation.

We know that graph represents variation when it passes through origin. But since given graph doesn't passes through origin so it doesn't represent the direct variation.

Correct choice is :

C. The line does not go through the origin.
