Answer:

Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.

The square of the sum of two numbers is 144 and the sum of of their square is 180, find the number... Please I really need the a
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The numbers are either ±13.35 and ±1.35 or ±1.35 and ±13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.

Given:

The squares of the sum of two numbers = 144

The sum of their squares = 180

The sum of the numbers = x+y

The square of the sum of numbers = (x+y)^2

Square of first number = x^2

Square of second number = y^2

The sum of their squares = x^2+y^2

Now, as per question:

(x+y)^2=144---(1)\\\\x^2+y^2=180---(2)

Expanding equation (1) using the formula (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab

This gives,

(x+y)^2=144\\\\x^2+y^2+2xy=144\\\\\textrm{Plug in the value of }x^2+y^2\textrm{ from equation (2)}\\\\180+2xy=144\\\\2xy=144-180\\\\2xy=-36\\\\xy=-\frac{36}{2}\\\\xy=-18\\\\y=-\frac{18}{x}---(3)

Plug in the value of 'y' from equation (3) in equation (1). This gives,

x^2+(-\frac{18}{x})^2=180\\\\x^2+\frac{324}{x^2}=180\\\\x^4+324=180x^2\\\\x^4-180x^2+324=0\\\\\textrm{On solving, we get:}\\\\x^2=178.2\ or\ x^2=1.8\\\\\textrm{Square root both sides, we get:}\\\\x=\pm13.35\ or\ x=\pm1.35

Therefore,

y=-\frac{18}{x}=-\frac{18}{\pm13.35} = \pm1.35\ or\\\\y=-\frac{18}{x}=-\frac{18}{\pm1.35}=\pm13.3

Therefore, the numbers are either ±13.35 and ±1.35 or ±1.35 and ±13.3

Find the value of x and y in the parallelogram ​
marta [7]

Answer:

x=14

y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is like a rectangle 2 parallel sides are equal.

so x+3=17 and y-2=38

x+3=17

x=17-3

x=14

y-2=38

y=38+2

y=40

A spherical block of ice melts so that its surface area decreases at a constant rate: ds/dt = - 8 pi cm^2/s. calculate how fast
sveticcg [70]
The rate a which the surface area, S, decreases is
\frac{dS}{dt} =-8 \pi \, cm^{2}/s

The surface area is
S = 4πr²
where r =  the radius at time t.

Therefore
\frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{dS}{dr}  \frac{dr}{dt} =8 \pi r  \frac{dr}{dt} \\\\ -8 \pi  = 8 \pi r  \frac{dr}{dt} \\\\  \frac{dr}{dt} =- \frac{1}{r}

When r = 3 cm, obtain
\frac{dr}{dt}]_{r=3} = - \frac{1}{3} \, cm/s

Answer:  -1/3  cm/s  (or -0.333 cm/s)

Find the area of the shape shown below.<br> 3.5,2,2,2,2,5
natta225 [31]

Answer:

26.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 26.75 because if you split the traingle in half from the bottom to the top you look to find the area of each shape, so the sqaure has a measure of 2 by 2 so that is four then the smaller triangle has a measure of 2 by 2 but the formula for triangles are length times height divided by 2 and the area for that is 2. Then the other smaller triangle is 5 * 2 which is 10 then divide it by 2 so it is 5 so all together it is 9. then the area of the biggest triangle is 15.75
