If AD=6 and AB=24, find AC

When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)

Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12

By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.

Answer: b=12

I'm not entirely sure but I got:

$\frac{ {4x}^{3} + 3 }{(2x - 1)( {x}^{2} + x)( {2x}^{2} - 3x + 1) }$

Sebastian writes the recursive formula f(x+1) = 4f(x) to represent a geometric sequence whose second term is 12. Choose the expl

Westkost [7]

Answer : B.) f(x) = $f(x) = 3(4)^{n-1}$

The recursive formula f(x+1) = 4f(x)

Given : second term is 12 , so f(2) = 12

f(3) = 4f(2) = 4 * 12 = 48

f(4) = 4f(3) = 4*48 = 192

f(2) = 12 = 4* 3= 4*f(1). So f(1) = 3

f(1) =3 , f(2) = 12, f(3) = 48, f(4)=192.....

The sequence is Geometric

We use geometric sequence formula

$f(x) = ar^{n-1}$ , where 'a' is the first term and 'r' is the common ratio

a= 3 and r= 4

Explicit formula is $f(x) = 3(4)^{n-1}$

Find the value of x in each case. Give reasons to justify your solutions!<br><br><br> answer ASAP

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

YZ || XW, so ∠Y = ∠W

if ∠Y = ∠W, then ∠W = 2x

since the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees:

(3x-5) + 2x + 90 = 180

x = 19

Please help with this and explain how to do it, I'll give 15 points

Answer:

Option (4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Outer diameter of the hollow metallic ball = 10 centimeters

Outer radius of this ball = $\frac{10}{2}$ = 5 cm

Volume of the outer ball $V_{1}$ = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (r)^3$

= $\frac{4}{3}\pi (5)^3$

Inner radius of the hollow metallic ball = (5 - 1) = 4 cm

Volume of the inner hollow ball $V_{2}$ = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (4)^3$

Volume of the metal used in the metallic ball = $V_{1}-V_{2}$

= $\frac{4}{3}\pi (5)^3-\frac{4}{3}\pi (4)^{3}$

= $\frac{4}{3}\pi [(5)^3-(4)^3]$

Therefore, expression given in option (4) will be used to measure the volume of the hollow metallic ball.
