Sindrei [870]4 years ago

Answer:

x=16\dfrac{28}{37}\\ \\y=5\dfrac{1}{3}\\ \\z=7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows three paralel lines which divide the large triangle into three similar triangles.

By Thales theorem,

\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Then

\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 2z=15,\ z=7.5\\ \\\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 3y=16,\ y=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}

From the similarity of triangles,

\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{z+8}{z+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{7.5+8}{7.5+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{15.5}{18.5}\\ \\x=20\cdot \dfrac{155}{185}=20\cdot \dfrac{31}{37}=\dfrac{620}{37}=16\dfrac{28}{37}

Circumference of a circle is simply C = πd, d = diameter.

now, we know the diameter is 80, so C = π80, or just 80π.

Is {(1, -3), (-1, 3)} a function or not?
fredd [130]
You are correct. It is a function.

The Vertical Line Test allows us to know whether or not a graph is actually a function. If a vertical line intersects the graph in all places at exactly one point, then the relation is a function.

You’ll have to plot the points on the graph to do the Vertical Line Test.

To use the vertical-line test, imagine dragging a ruler held vertically across the graph from left to right. If the graph is that of a function, the edge of the ruler would hit the graph only once for every x -value.

Plotting the given points on the graph and performing the Vertical Line Test (VLT) shows that there’s 1 point in each of the vertical lines drawn. This means that the given relation passed the VLT, and that the given set of points represent a function.
