Answer:

x = 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC is a right angled triangle.

Therefore, by Pythagoras theorem:

{(10 - x)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {5}^{2} \\ 100 - 20x +  {x}^{2}   =  {x}^{2}  + 25 \\ 100 - 20x = 25 \\  - 20x = 25 - 100 \\  - 20x =  - 75 \\ x =  \frac{ - 75}{ - 20}  \\   \:  \: \huge \red { \boxed{x = 3.75}}

2335 = 55x + 0.45(300)
2335 = 55x + 135.....distribute through the parenthesis
2335 - 135 = 55x.....subtraction property
2200 = 55x ....division property
2200/55 = x ...simplify

Identify the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola with the equation x^2-6x-8y+49=0
NeTakaya
Get it in form 4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2
add 8y to both sides
x^2-6x+49=8y
complete the square
-6/3=-3, (-3)^2=9
(x^2-6x+9)+40=8y
(x-3)^2+40=8y
minus 40 both sides
(x-3)^2=8y-40
undistribute 8 on right side
(x-3)^2=(y-5)8
4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2
4(2)(y-5)=(x-3)^2

(h,k) is center
p is distance from vertex to directix and also from vertex to focus
p=2
vertex=(3,5)
in that form, the prabola opens up so
directix is 2 below vertex
focus is 2 above vertex
up and down is y so
5-2=3
5+2=7

directix is y=3
focus=(3,7)
vertex=(3,5)

After 8 weeks on a fitness program, mrs.Honaker can job 30 miles. Her average mileage gain has been 2 miles per week. Write an e
blondinia [14]

Answer:

y = 2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation in slope intercept form:

y = mx + c

From the scenario above ;

y = total miles = 30

Average mile gain per week = slope (m) = 2

Number of weeks (x) = 8

We can obtain intercept, c :

30 = 2(8) + c

30 = 16 + c

30 - 16 = c

14 = c

Hence,

Equation goes thus ;

y = 2x + 14
