I need some help with this math problem. I've had it explained to me two different ways. If x= -3 then what would be the answer

to x^2 + 5 = ? My teacher says it is 14 but then someone else mentioned that order of operations says that the answer is -4. Help!!

Answer:

The square root of x will be evaluated first before the addition of 5. Hence (-3)^2 = 9 and 9 +5 = 14, as per your teacher's answer, which is correct. The answer would not be -4.

\text{You have to solve by plugging in -3 to x:}\\\\(-3)^2+5\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\(-3)^2+5\\\\9+5\\\\\boxed{14}\\\\\text{Your answer would be 14. The teacher is correct}

What is the degree measure of FEG?<br> A 20°<br> B 31°<br> C 56°<br> D<br> 124°
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C) 56

Step-by-step explanation:

DEG and FEG are on a straight line forming 180 degree.

Set your formula up as

180 = (3x+31)+(2x-6)

180 = 3x +2x +31 - 6

180 - 31 + 6 = 5x

155 = 5x

155/5 = x

31 = x

Now substitute 31 in place of x

FEG = (2*31-6)

FEG = 56

3 An open cone has a vertical angle measuring 40°
belka [17]

Answer:

13.41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius, height, and HALF of vertical angle makes a triangle.

Where

Radius will be the base of the triangle

Height will be the "height" of the triangle

Top angle will be HALF of vertical angle (40/2 = 20)

From the 20 degree angle, the side "opposite" would be the radius, which is 30. The side "adjacent" would be the height, let it be h.

<em>Which trig ratio relates opposite and adjacent? Yes, that is TAN. Thus we can write:</em>

Tan(20) = opposite/adjacent

Tan(20) = 30/h

h = 30/Tan(20)

h = 13.41

So

The height of the cone would be around 13.41 cm

Will someone please help me with this because I don't understand and I don't want to fail my class.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4y - 1 =0; add both sides by + 4y + 1

x - 4y - 1 + 4y + 1 = 0 +  4y + 1

Simplifying

x = 4y + 1

x + 5y - 4 = 0; Add (-5y + 4) to both sides

x + 5y - 4 -5y + 4 = 0 -5y + 4

Simplying

x = -5y +4

x = 4 - 5y

Now you have both equations

x = 4y + 1

x= 4 - 5y

Now you can use the comparison method

4y + 1 = 4 - 5y

A triangle has the following measurements: B=79 degrees a=5ft
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The law of cosines for this particular situation is b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac cosB.
Filling in what you know, you have b^2 = 25 + 49 - [2(5)(7)-.1908], which simplifies to b^2 = 74 - 69.8092 which gives you a b^2 value of 4.1908, but you have to take the square root of that so you get a side value for b of 2.05.
