Answer:2

First, solve for y

-2y=7-4x

Y=2x-7/2

y=mx+b

What we really want to know is the slope(m)

Answer:

Use the slope-intercept form

y = m x + b

to find the slope m and y-intercept b .

Slope:

y-intercept:

− 7 2

Lines with the same slope are parallel.

parallel = 2

The perimeter is 1/2 the perimeter of ABCD because the scale factor is 1/2. It would be 10 units.

1. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, I'M NOT GOOD IN MATH.<br>explain your work

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BDC is a right triangle (If you dont understand I can explain in depth). Since it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD. The pythagorean theorem states that the length of the smaller legs squared = the longest side squared. So we can set up the equation $9^{2}$ + $x^{2}$ = $15^{2}$ where x is the length of the missing side (BD). If we were to solve for x, (I think you should know how to do this but if not I can explain), you get 12

Find the exact value of tan 15 degrees

pentagon [3]

<span>tan(15) =
sin(15) / cos(15) =
sin(45 - 30) / cos(45 - 30) =
[ sin(45)cos(30) - sin(30)cos(45) ] / [ cos(45)cos(30) + sin(45)sin(30)]

Since sin(45) = cos(45) = √2/2, you can just factor that out from the top and bottom
[ cos(30) - sin(30) ] / [ cos(30) + sin(30)]
[ √3/2 - 1/2 ] / [ √3/2 + 1/2]
(√3 - 1) / (√3 + 1)
(√3 - 1)^2 / (√3+1)(√3 - 1)
(√3 - 1)^2 / (3 - 1)
(3 - 2√3 +1) / 2
2 - √3

There's also a formula for tan(a-b), but I couldn't remember it off hand.</span>

A rectangular box has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of h cm. The volume of the box is given by V = x2h

creativ13 [48]

It is given in the question that

A rectangular box has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of h cm. The volume of the box is given by

$V = x^2h cm^3$

And the edge length of the base is 12 cm, the edge length of the base is decreasing at a rate of 2 cm/min, the height of the box is 6 cm, and the height is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min.

Here we differentiate V with respect to t, and we use product rule, that is

$V = 2xh(dx/dt)+ x^2(dh/dt)$

Substituting the given values , we will get

$[tex]dV/dt = 2(12)(6)(-2)+ 12^2(1)$ [/tex]

$dV/dt = -288+144 = -144cm^3/min$

So at that moment, the volume is decreasing at the rate of

$144 cm^3/min$
