Answer:

10.9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2, since it will form a right triangle.

You aren't missing the hypotenuse (c), but one of the side lengths (b). But you still solve like a normal algebraic equation.

Plugging in your values, you should start with 5^2+b^2=12^2

Then square everything.

25+b^2=144

Take away 25 from both sides.

b^2= 119

Then square root both sides.

b= 10.9

hoa [83]

The angles are 27°, 27° and 126°

let the 2 equal angles be x then the third angle = 3x + 45

sum of 3 angles = x + x + 3x + 45 = 5x + 45 = 180

hence 5x = 180 - 45 = 135⇒ x= 135/5 = 27

the angles are 27°, 27° and 3x + 45 =81 + 45 = 126°

Please answer my question <br> I WILL MARK BRANLIEST, AND ANSWER ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS!!!!
ankoles [38]

Answer:

y  =  (4/3)x - 50  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Identify the independent and dependent variables.

The independent variable (x) is the square footage of floor space.

The dependent variable (y) is the monthly rent.

Step 2 :

Write the information given in the problem as ordered pairs.

The rent for 600 square feet of floor space is $750 :

(600, 750)

The rent for 900 square feet of floor space is $1150 :

(900, 1150)

Step 3 :  

Find the slope.  

m  =  (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Substitute (600, 750) for (x₁, y₁) and (900, 1150) for (x₂, y₂).

m  =  (1150 - 750) / (900 - 600)

m  =  400 / 300

m  =  4/3

Step 4 :  

Find the y-intercept.

Use the slope 4/3 and one of the ordered pairs (600, 750).

Slope-intercept form :  

y  =  mx + b

Plug m = 4/3,  x = 600 and y = 750.  

750  =  (4/3)(600) + b

750  =  (4)(200) + b

750  =  800 + b

-50  =  b

Step 5 :  

Substitute the slope and y-intercept.

Slope-intercept form

y  =  mx + b  

Plug m = 4/3 and b = -50

y  =  (4/3)x + (-50)

y  =  (4/3)x - 50

1. Identify the name and label the parts of the following polynomial: -2x4+24x2-10
laiz [17]
Please write this polynomial as P(x) = <span>-2x^4+24x^2-10, using " ^ " to denote exponentiation.

This is a fourth degree polynomial, since the highest power of x is 4.  Ordinarily, a fourth degree poly would have 5 terms, but here two of the coefficients of the powers of x are zero, leaving only 3 terms.

</span>The lead coeff. of  P(x) = -2x^4+24x^2-10  is -2.

The constant terms is -10.  The exponent of x here is zero (0).

The degree of the middle term is 2 (see 24x^2, above)

Would you please post your other questions separately.  Thank you.
