What is the value of x? ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar

The two triangles

1) the one making up the peak of the large triangle

2)the large triangle  

are similar. That is because the 2 bases are parallel and corresponding angles are equal. The third angle at the peak is common. So by AAA they are similar.

Proportion

Therefore the sides are in proportion.

5/40 = 3/(2x + 10)

Solution

Cross multiply

5*(2x + 10) = 40*3

Remove the brackets on the left. Combine the right.

10x + 50 = 120          

Subtract 50 from both sides

10x + 50 - 50 = 120 - 50

10x = 70

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 70/10

x = 7

What is the best description of the relation?
Pie

Answer:

The relation is <u>not</u> a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation in which no two ordered pairs have the same input  and different outputs. Whenever you're trying to determine whether a given relation is a function, observe whether each input corresponds with <u><em>exactly</em></u> one output.

In this case, the answer is no.  The input value of 10 corresponds with two output values, 4 and 20.  It only takes one input value to associate with more than one output value to be <u>invalid</u> as a function.

Therefore, the given relation is <em><u>not</u></em> a function.

I need help with questions 1,2, and 3. Would gratefully appreciate it (:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2):

First let's organise the data:

33 miles ... x mph ... 4h - downstream

33 miles ... y mph ... 7h - up the stream

x = 33/4 = 8.25 mph

y = 33/7 = 4.71 mph

(3)

P(x) = x^2 - 2x - 3

To find the amount of key rings sold when the profit is 5000$ we have to equate P(x) with 5, because in the problem the profit of the key rings is displayed in terms of thousands.

x^2 - 2x - 3 = 5\\x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0\\x_1 = 4, x_2 = -2

Since the number of keyrings sold has to be positive the only answer is 4 thousand key rings.
