The 3 similar triangles shown in the figure are:

a) Triangle WXV
b) Triangle WVY
c) Triangle VXY

For the similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides is always equal.

From Triangle WXV, we are given the ratio WX/WV.
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle WVY will be WY and side corresponding to WV will be WY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = WV/WY

Moreover,
The side corresponding to WX, in Triangle VXY will be VX and side corresponding to WV will be VY.

So, we can write:

WX/WV = VX/VY

From these two equation, we can write:

VX/VY = WV/WY

So, option B gives the correct answer

The similarities are VWX ~ YVX ~ YWV. Matching corresponding letters, you have
WX/WV = VX/VY = WV/WY

The appropriate choice is ...
B. VX/VY = WV/WY

Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

$r = \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}$

is a parabola.

We use the relations

${r}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

and

$y = r \sin \theta$

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

$r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10$

$r(1+ \sin \theta) = 5$

Expand :

$r+ r\sin \theta= 5$

We now substitute to get:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } + y = 5$

This means that:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }=5 - y$

Square:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =(5 - y)^{2}$

Expand:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =25 - 10y + {y}^{2}$

${x}^{2} =25 - 10y$

${x}^{2} - 25 = - 10y$

$y = - \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10} + \frac{5}{2}$

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

college algebra - please help The half-life for thorium-227 is 18.72 days. The amount A (in grams) of thorium-227 after t days f

Andreyy89

Answer:

t= 24.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Here A(t) is the amount of the element that remains after some time. So they tell us that find the time it takes to basically have 4 grams remaining so A(t) = 4

4 = 10 * 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

0.4= 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

t= 24.75 days

Answer should make sense because half life is around 18 days which means to go from 10 g to 5g would be somewhere around 18 days but we are going to 4 g so it takes more days
