Answer:

c=-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=2x+c=2(x+c/2), so m=2.

To be tangent we need to check y’ of parabola: y’=2x+3.

So for some x it must be 2x+3=2 (cause m=2). We have x=-1/2.

Now we use x=-1/2 to find y from 2nd equation (equation of parabole): we got y=1/4-3/2=-5/4.

So tangent has point (-1/2,-5/4).

Put that point in firts equation (equation of line): -5/4=-1+c,

so we have c=-1/4.

Short side length = x

Medium side = x + 7

Long side = 5x

Total 49, so

x + x + 7 + 5x = 49

If you combine like terms:

7x + 7 = 49

Subtract 7 from both sides

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

x = 6 inches.

What the closest volume of a cylinder with a height of 10 and a circumference of 8

jenyasd209 [6]

In order to calculate the volume of a cylinder, we can use the following formula:

$V=\pi r^2h$

Where r is the base radius and h is the height.

If the circumference is 8, we have:

$\begin{gathered} C=2\pi r \\ 8=2\pi r \\ r=\frac{4}{\pi} \end{gathered}$

Now, calculating the volume, we have:

$\begin{gathered} V=\pi(\frac{4}{\pi})^2\cdot10 \\ V=\frac{160}{\pi} \\ V=50.93 \end{gathered}$

So the correct option is the second one.

8.45 At some point in the season, the Unicorns had won 60% of their basketball games. After that point, they won 8 more games an

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The total number of games won by Unicorn is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a word problem
We are asked to find the number of unicorns played during the season
We can do this in two steps

Step 1: Finding the win percentage

Step 2: Finding the number of unicorns played during the season

Step 1 of 2

Let the number of games played by unicorn be x.The unicorn won 60% of the first x-10 games That is $\frac{60}{100} \times(x-10)$

Combining the 8 games we get,

$\begin{gathered}\frac{60}{100}(x-10)+8=\frac{60}{100} \times x-\frac{60}{100} \times 10+8 \\0.6 x-6+8=0.6 x+2\end{gathered}$

Step 2 of 2

The unicorn totally won 65% of the games played.

That is $\frac{65}{100} \times x=0.65 x$

Equating both the equation gives

$\begin{gathered}0.6 x+2=0.65 x \\2=0.65 x-0.6 x \\2=0.05 x \\\frac{2}{0.05}=x \\40=x\end{gathered}$
