Answer:

x intercepts -sqrt(5), + sqrt(5)

y intercept -5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 -5

to find the x intercept set y=0 and solve for x

0 = x^2-5

add 5 to each side

5 = x^2

take the square root of each side

+- sqrt(5) = sqrt(x^2)

x = +-sqrt(5) there are 2 x intercepts since it is a quadratic

to find the y intercept set x=0 and solve for y

y = 0-5

y = -5

The Area Ratio of two similar solids is 169: 289. If the volume of the smaller solid is 689,858 cm, what is the volume of the la

masha68 [24]

Answer:

1,542,682 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor = √169:√289

= 13:17

So the Volume ratio is 13^3:17^3

So the volume of the larger solid is 689,858 * (17^3/13^3)

= 1,542,682 cm^3.

Find X AND Y! pleas help me! only reply if you KNOW IT thank you

The measures of the legs of the right triangle are:

X = 2.5

Y = 4.3

<h3>How to find the values of x and y?</h3>

In the image, we can see a right triangle with a hypotenuse with a value of 5, and a known angle.

To find the values of X and Y (the legs of the triangle) we can use the two relations:

Sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

In this case, we have:

a = 30°

hypotenuse = 5

opposite cathetus = X

adjacent cathetus = Y.

Replacing that in the relations we get:

Sin(30°) = X/5

Sin(30°)*5 = X = 2.5

cos(30°) = Y/5

cos(30°)*5 = Y = 4.3
