Answer:

<h2>AC = 36.01</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ΔABC and ΔADB, since both triangles are right angled triangles then the following are true.

From ΔADB, AB² = AD²+BD²

Given AB = 24 and AD = 16

BD² = AB² - AD²

BD² = 24²-16²

BD² = 576-256

BD² = 320

BD = \sqrt{320}

BD = 17.9

from ΔABC, AC² = AB²+BC²

SInce AC = AD+DC and BC² = BD² + DC² (from ΔBDC )we will have;

(AD+DC)² = AB²+ (BD² + DC²)

Given AD = 16, AB = 24 and BD = 17.9, on substituting

(16+DC)² = 24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC+DC² =  24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC = 24²+17.9²

32DC = 24²+17.9² - 256

32DC = 640.41

DC = \frac{640.41}{32}

DC = 20.01

Remember that AC = AD+DC

AC = 16+20.01

AC = 36.01

natima [27]

Answer:

  d)  one solution; (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to follow problem directions. A graph is attached, showing the one solution to be (4, 1).

_____

You know there will be one solution because the lines have different slopes. Each is in the form ...

  y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The first line has slope -1 and y-intercept +5; the second line has slope 1 and y-intercept -3. The slope is the number of units of "rise" for each unit of "run", so it can be convenient to graph these by starting at the y-intercept and plotting points with those rise and run from the point you know.

Its all one big question
Verdich [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) + k(x) = x² + 1 + x - 2 = x² + x - 1

(h + k)(2) = 2² + 2 - 1 = 4 + 2 - 1 = 5

h(x) - k(x) = x² + 1 - (x - 2) = x² + 1 - x + 2 = x² -x + 3

(h - k)(3) = 3² - 3 + 3 = 9 - 3 + 3 = 9

h(2) = 2² + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

k(3) = 3 - 2 = 1

3h(2) + 2k(3) = (3 × 5) + (2 × 1) = 15 + 2 = 17

Number 3.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ PQX = 90° ( angle in a semicircle )

∠ PXQ = 42° ( alternate angle theorem )

Angle between tangent and diameter is right, thus

∠ XPQ = 90° - 42° = 48°

The end of a hose was resting on the ground, pointing up an angle. Sal measured the path of the water coming out of the hose and
lawyer [7]

Functions can be used to model real life situations.

The hose is 3.2 feet above the ground, at a horizontal distance of 4 fee

The function is given as:

f(x) =-0.3x^2 + 2x

At a horizontal distance of 4 feet, the value of x is 4

i.e. x = 4

Substitute 4 for x in f(x).

So, we have:

f(4) =-0.3(4)^2 + 2(4)

Evaluate the exponent

f(4) =-0.3(16) + 2(4)

Open both brackets

f(4) =-4.8 + 8

Add -4.8 and 8

f(4) =3.2

Hence, the hose is 3.2 feet above the ground
