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

Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)).<br><br> y = 4/x^2+9
dlinn [17]

I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,

One possible answer is f(x) = \frac{4}{x},  \ \ g(x) = x^2+9

Another possible answer is f(x) = \frac{4}{x+9}, \ \ g(x) = x^2

There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)

So in the first example above, we would have

f(x) = \frac{4}{x}\\\\f( g(x) ) = \frac{4}{g(x)}\\\\f( g(x) ) = \frac{4}{x^2+9}

In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.

Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)

Help, please (single variable calculus)
balandron [24]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{ 14.875}

Our interval is from 0 to 3, with 6 intervals. Thus:

3 ÷ 6 = 0.5, which is our width for each rectangle.

Since n = 6 and we are doing a right-riemann sum, the points we will be plugging in are:

0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3

Evaluate:

(0.5 · f(0.5)) + (0.5 · f(1)) + (0.5 · f(1.5)) + (0.5 · f(2)) + (0.5 · f(2.5)) + (0.5 · f(3)) =

Simplify:

0.5( -2.75 + (-3) + (-.75) + 4 + 11.25 + 21) = 14.875

emily drives home from work in 30 minutes driving 60 miles per hour. If Emily need to get home 10 minutes earlier, how fast does
AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

The first step to know how fast Emily needs to drive to get 10 minutes earlier is to determine the distance from her work to her home. This can be calculated by using the information provided (speed and time). The process is shown below:

speed = distance ÷ time

distance = speed x time

distance = 60 miles per hour x 0.5 (30 minutes represent 0.5 hours)

distance= 30 miles

Now, using the same formula let's calculate the speed for 20 minutes (30 minutes - 10 minutes earlier = 20 minutes)

speed = distance ÷ time

speed = 30 miles ÷ 0.333 (20 minutes represents 0.333 hours as 20 minutes is 1/3 of an hour)

speed= 90 miles per hour
