<h3>Answer: x = 7</h3>

Explanation:

Segment addition postulate

CD+DE = CE

this basically is the idea of gluing smaller pieces together to get a larger structure. We can go in reverse to break up a large item into smaller bits. This is assuming there is no leftovers, overlaps, or parts wasted/lost.

CD = 9

DE = 3x+6

CE = 36

----

CD+DE = CE

9+3x+6 = 36

3x+15 = 36

3x = 36-15

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

-----

If x = 7, then

DE = 3x+6 = 3*7+6 = 21+6 = 27

and

CD+DE = 9+27 = 36 = CE

Mr. Rr the Rreliable Rrobot has been programmed to whistle every $18$ seconds and do a jumping jack every $42$ seconds, starting

sveta [45]

Answer:

7 times during the first 15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

$1\ min=60\ sec$

$15\ min=15(60)=900\ sec$

Decompose the numbers 18 and 42 in prime factors

we know that

$18=(2)(3^2)$

$42=(2)(3)(7)$

Find the least common multiple (LCM)

The LCM is

$(2)(3^2)(7)=126\ sec$

we need to find all multiples of 126 that are less than or equal 900.

$126*1=126\ sec\\126*2=252\ sec\\126*3=378\ sec\\126*4=504\ sec\\126*5=630\ sec\\126*6=756\ sec\\126*7=882\ sec$

therefore

7 times during the first 15 minutes

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, HI = 8 feet, and JH = 1.9 feet. Find the measure of ∠H to the nearest tenth of a degree.

artcher [175]

Answer:

21.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, HI = 8 feet, and JH = 1.9 feet. Find the measure of ∠H to the nearest tenth of a degree.

We solve this above question using the Sine rule

a/sin A = b/sin B

In ΔHIJ, the measure of ∠J=90°, HI = 8 feet, and JH = 1.9 feet.

Hence:

HI/∠J = JH/∠H

= 8/sin 90° = 1.9/sin ∠H

Cross Multiply

∠H = arc sin(sin 1.9 × 90/8)

∠H = 21.9°

Differentiate the function. f(x) = ln(25 sin^2(x))

tigry1 [53]

Use the chain rule.
Let u = 25sin²(x), such that dy/dx = dy/du · du/dx

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{25sin^{2}(x)} \cdot 50cos(x) \cdot sin(x)$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2cos(x) sin(x)}{sin^{2}(x)}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2cot(x)$
