Add EF and DE together to equal 32

2x-10 + 4x = 32

Combine like terms;

6x-10 = 32

Add 10 to each side:

6x = 42

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 42/6

X = 7

EF = 2x-10 = 2(7)-10 = 14-10 = 4

DE = 4x = 4(7) = 28

Prove 2√(x) + 1/√(x + 1) <= 2√(x+1) for all x in [0,inf)

EleoNora [17]

Start by multiplying each side of the inequality by $\sqrt{x + 1}$ and simplifying:

$2 \sqrt x + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}} \leq 2 \sqrt{x + 1}$
$(2 \sqrt x + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}})(\sqrt{x + 1}) \leq (2 \sqrt{x + 1})(\sqrt{x + 1})$
$2 \sqrt{x(x + 1)} + 1 \leq 2(x + 1)$
$2 \sqrt{x^2 + x} + 1 \leq 2x + 2$
$2 \sqrt{x^2 + x} \leq 2x + 1$
$\sqrt{x^2 + x} \leq x + \frac{1}{2}$

From here, we can square both sides to get

$x^2 + x \leq (x + \frac{1}{2})^2$
$x^2 + x \leq x^2 + x + \frac{1}{4}$
$0 \leq \frac{1}{4}$ , which is always true.

What assumption have you made in answering part b

emmasim [6.3K]

You're assuming that this data set represents all of Mrs. Hassaan's pupils. Certain students could be missing from the histogram - for instance, there could be one or two students who missed the test, but for certain reasons will be taking a make-up exam. Their grade would not be recording in this data set, but they still contribute to the class size, and so would be unaccounted for here.

Use the image below to answer the following question:

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The ratios are both identical. (4 over 5 and 4 over 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Th picture below represent the image you are referring.

sin x = opposite / hypotenuse

opposite side = 4

hypotenuse = 5

sin x° = 4/5

cos y° = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 4

hypotenuse = 5

cos y° = 4/5

The ratios are both identical (4 over 5 and 4 over 5)
