Answer:

x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If RECT is a rectangle, each of its interior angles are right angles, 90°. Since ∠RTC is split into two angles, the sum of the two angles must be 90°. (Angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles).

∠RTC = ∠RTE + ∠ETC Formula for complementary angles

90 = 2x + 6 + 42 Substitute the angles

90 = 2x + 48 Combined like terms to simplify

Now isolate "x" to solve

90 - 48 = 2x + 48 - 48 Subtract 48 from both sides

42 = 2x

42/2 = 2x/2 Divide both sides by 2

x = 21

Therefore x is 21.

Answer:

c = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

Plug in the values of a = 14, and b = 48

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}\\14^{2} +48^{2} =c^{2} \\c^{2} = 2500\\c = \sqrt{2500} \\c = 50$

Use the differential equation given by dy/dx=xy/3, y>0<br><br> complete the table of values

melisa1 [442]

The $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ row is filled by just plugging in the corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ into the ODE.

For example, when $x=-1$ and $y=1$ , you have

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{xy}3\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=-1,y=1}=\dfrac{(-1)(1)}3=-\dfrac13$

and so on.

Answer:

c) bajo: $1.62; mediano: $1.80; grande: $2.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Insert numbers from the table into a linear equation (ignore time column) and use Cramer's Rule.

55x+53y+54z=299.12

17x+22y+25z=117.89

30x+23y+29z=148.97

x, bajo = 1.62

y, mediano = 1.8

z, grande = 2.03
