This is an isosceles triangle. The angles at the base are congruent (they have the same measures).

Look at the picture.

We know: The sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is equal 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

$2x-10+2x-10+3x+25=180$ <em>combine like terms</em>

$(2x+2x+3x)+(-10-10+25)=180$

$7x+5=180$ <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>

$7x=175$ <em>divide both sides by 7</em>

$x=25$

$m\angle A=2x-10\to m\angle A=2(25)-10=50-10=40\\\\m\angle C=m\angle A=40\\\\m\angle B=3x+25\to m\angle B=3(25)+25=75+25=100^o$

<h3>Answer: D. m∠C = 40</h3>

What is the value of k?

ki77a [65]

Answer:

k = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of any two interior angles is equal to the exterior angle of the unknown interior angle

4k+5 + 6k+10 = 115

10k + 15 = 115

10k = 100

k = 10

The profit when selling 'x' pairs of shoes is P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39. How many pairs of shoes should be sold in order to maximize the

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: $4$ pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Profit on selling 'x' pairs of shoes is $P(x)=-4x^2+32x-39$

Find the derivative of the function to find out the critical points

$\Rightarrow -8x+32=0\\\Rightarrow x=4$

Thus, for 4 pair of shoes profit is maximize.

The vertex of this parabola is at (2, -4). When the y-value is -3, the x-value is -3. What is the coefficient of the squared ter

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The squared term is 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola equation in the vertex form is

$y = a \times (x - h)^2 + k$

where point (h,k) is the vertex and a is the squared term. In this case h = 2 and k = -4. On the other hand, we know that y = -3 and x = -3 are in the parabola. Replacing these values in the formula gives

$-3 = a \times (-3 - 2)^2 - 4$

Solving for a

$-3 + 4 = a \times (-5)^2$

$1 = a \times 25$

$a = \frac{1}{25}$
