Answer: x = 9.0

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right angle triangle,

the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle is x

With m∠39 as the reference angle,

the adjacent side of the right angle triangle is 7

The unknown side represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos 39 = 7/x

x = 7/cos 39 = 7/0.777

x = 9.0 to the nearest tenth

What value of x will make this expression equal to 28.1? A) x=0 is the only value that will make the expression equal to 28.1 B)

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Any value except -3.44 will make the equation equal to 28.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told to multiply the quotient of the fraction by 28.1 to make 28.1. So, it is obvious that the fraction has to simplified to a one. This is possible with any number as whatever the value of x, the numerator and denominator will be equal. But, in the case of -3.44, it will make 5e fraction 0/0, which is undefined and never equal to 1.

I hope this helps

Find positive numbers x and y satisfying the equation xyequals12 such that the sum 4xplusy is as small as possible. Let S be the

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The objective function in terms of one number, x is

S(x) = 4x + (12/x)

The values of x and y that minimum the sum are √3 and 4√3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive numbers, x and y

x × y = 12

xy = 12

S(x,y) = 4x + y

We plan to minimize the sum subject to the constraint (xy = 12)

We can make y the subject of formula in the constraint equation

y = (12/x)

Substituting into the objective function,

S(x,y) = 4x + y

S(x) = 4x + (12/x)

We can then find the minimum.

At minimum point, (dS/dx) = 0 and (d²S/dx²) > 0

(dS/dx) = 4 - (12/x²) = 0

4 - (12/x²) = 0

(12/x²) = 4

4x² = 12

x = √3

y = 12/√3 = 4√3

To just check if this point is truly a minimum

(d²S/dx²) = (24/x³) = (8/√3) > 0 (minimum point)

Dustin has only nickels and quarters in his piggy bank. He has 49 coins total for a combination value of $8.85. How many of each

stepan [7]

Answer: he has 32 quarters and 17 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a quarter is 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

25/100 = $0.25

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of quarters that he has in her wallet.

Let y represent the number of nickels that she has in her wallet.

He has 49 coins total. This means that

x + y = 49

the total value of the coins is $8.85. This means that

0.25x + 0.05y = 8.85 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 49 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.25(49 - y) + 0.05y = 8.85

12.25 - 0.25y + 0.05y = 8.85

- 0.25y + 0.05y = 8.85 - 12.25

0.2y = 3.4

y = 3.4/0.2

y = 17

x = 49 - y = 49 - 17

x = 32

A college student completed some courses worth 3 credits and some courses worth 4 credits. The student earned a total of 59 cred

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

They completed 13, 3 credit classes

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make 2 formulas. In this case: x+y=18

and 3x+4y=59

2. Then multiply x+y=18 by 3 and subtract the two equations.

Find y which is 5 and input into the equations. Then find your answer.
