Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

a = 9.849

b = 20.25

c = 491.03

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Pythagoras theorem in the right triangle BDC,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

BC² = BD² + DC²

a² = 9² + 4²

a = \sqrt{(81+16)}

a = \sqrt{97}

a = 9.8489

a ≈ 9.849 units

By mean proportional theorem,

\frac{\text{DC}}{\text{BD}}=\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{AD}}

AD × DC = BD²

b × 4 = 9²

b = \frac{81}{4}

b = 20.25 units

BY Pythagoras theorem in ΔADB,

AB² = AD² + BD²

c² = b² + 9²

c² = (20.25)² + 9²

c² = 410.0625 + 81

c = 491.0625

c = 491. 063 units

Factor Completely.<br> 12k^2-16k-60
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

4(k - 3)(3k + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

12k² - 16k - 60 ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(3k² - 4k - 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the k² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the k term

product = 3 × - 15 = - 45 , sum = - 4

Factors are - 9 and + 5

Use these factors to split the middle term

3k² - 9k + 5k - 15 → ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms

= 3k(k - 3) + 5(k - 3) ← factor out (k - 3)

= (k - 3)(3k + 5)

Hence

12k² - 16k - 60 = 4(k - 3)(3k + 5) ← in factored form

The table represents the function f(x). If g(x) = -(x + 1)^2 - 10, which statement is true?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Answer C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) clearly has a maximum:  y = +10 at x = 0.

Analyzing g(x) = -(x + 1)^2 - 10, we see that the vertex is at (-1, -10), and that the graph opens down.  Thus, -10 is the maximum value; it occurs at x = -1.

Answer A is false.  Both functions have max values.

Answer B is false.  One max is y = 10 and the other is y = -10.

Answer C is correct.  The max value of f(x), which is 10, is greater than the max value of g(x), which is -10.

Answer D is false.  See Answer B, above.

Y = x + 7 and y = -x + 2
larisa [96]

Answer:

y = x + 7

y = (-x) + 2

X + 7 = (-x) + 2

X + X = 2 - 7

2x = (-5)

<h3>x = (-5)/2 </h3>

Putting the value of X in equation

Y = (-5/2) + 7

Y = (-5)/2 + 7/1

Equalising the denominator by Taking LCM

Y = (-5)/2 +14/2

Y = ( -5 +14)/2

<h3>Y = (9)/2 </h3>
