Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 2x = 15

x^2 - 2x - 15 = 15 - 15 (Subtract 15 from both sides.)

x^2 - 2x -15 = 0 (Simplify.)

<em>Set up & solve for a quadratic formula</em>

<h3><em>* I will solve for your first x</em></h3>

2 + root 64 / 2x 1 = 2 + root 64 / 2

root 64 = 8

= 2 + 8 / 2

= 10 / 2

= 5

<em>To solve for the second, follow the same pattern/formula for the first that I used to get 5.</em>

In triangle $ABC$, the angles $\angle A$, $\angle B$, $\angle C$ form an arithmetic sequence. If $\angle A = 23^\circ$, then wha

LenKa [72]

Answer:

$97^0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the angles A, B, C in a Triangle form an arithmetic sequence where A=23 degrees.

The nth term of an Arithmetic sequence is given by the formula: $T_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where:

a=first term

n=number of term

d=common difference

In this case,

$Angle \:A, a=23^0$

$Angle B, T_2=23+(2-1)d=(23+d)^0\\Angle C, T_3=23+(3-1)d=(23+2d)^0$

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Therefore:

∠A+∠B+∠C=180 degrees

$23^0+(23+d)^0+(23+2d)^0=180\\69^0+3d=180^0\\3d=180^0-69^0\\3d=111^0\\d=37^0$

Therefore:

Angle C,

$(23+2d)^0=(23+2(37))^0=23+74\\C=97^0$

Is the following relation a function? {(0.3, 0.6), (0.4, 0.8), (0.3, 0.7), (0.5, 0.5)}

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To be a function, the x values must correspond to one and only one y value.

In the coordinates given, (0.3, 0.6) and (0.3, 0.7) have the same x- value.

That means that they cannot be a function.

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 5/2

Explanation:

According to 30-60-90 triangle rule:

The side opposite of 30 degree is equal to half of the hypotenuse and the hypotenuse here is 5 so therefore x = 5/2
