PLS HELPPPPPP solve for x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
mestny [16]3 years ago
6 0

We have similar triangles, so equal ratios

5:7:8 = 5+x : 7 + y : 10

Equal ratios mean the corresponding pairs are related by constant factor f,

f = \dfrac{5+x}{5} = \dfrac{7+y}{7} = \dfrac{10}{8}

So f= 10/8 = 5/4 and

5f = 5+x

x = 5(5/4) - 5 = 25/4  - 20/4= 5/4

7f = 7 + y

y = 7f - 7 = 7(f - 1) = 7(5/4 - 1) = 7/4

Answer: x=5/4, y=7/4

Check:

5/4 + 5  : 7/4 + 7 : 10 = 5+20 : 7+28 : 40  = 25:35:40 =5:7:8  good

How do I simplify the value of y= 200,000(1.06)15
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

For this, first you must multiply the exponent, which in this case is 1.06^15,

and this gives you 2.39655819.

You then multiply 2.39655819 by 200000.

y = 479311.638

Two different floor plans are being offered in a new housing development. Several prospective buyers from three different age gr
zepelin [54]

Answer:

0.677

Step-by-step explanation:Add up the values in the plan A column. There are 10+12+16 = 38 people who prefer plan A.

Add up the values in the "40-49" row to find that 16+8 = 24 people are ages 40 to 49.

We have 38+24-16 = 46 people who either prefer plan A, are aged 40-49, or fit both descriptions. I subtracted off 16 because those 16 people were counted twice when adding 38 and 24.

An alternative way to get this value of 46 is to add up everything that is in column1 or row 3 (or both). So that would get 10+12+16+8 = 46.

Now add up everything in the table to find out how many people were surveyed total. That would be 10+7+12+15+16+8 = 68 people overall.

The probability of someone liking plan A, or being age 40-49, or both is 46/68 = 0.6765 approximately. Rounding to 3 decimal places gives 0.677

The polynomial p(x) has factors of x-5 and x-8. Which must be correct ?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Find an answer to your question The polynomial p(x) has factors of x – 5 and x + 8. Which MUST be correct?

Step-by-step explanation:

If x – a is indeed a factor of p(x), then the remainder after division by x – a will be ... the polynomial (courtesy of the Remainder Theorem), but x – a is also a factor ... completed division: 2 2 5 0 7 ... x + 4 is a factor of 5x4 + 16x3 – 15x2 + 8x + 16.
