Answer:

y = 9.8995

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires the use of basic trigonometry.

In this problem, we know one of the sides and two of the angles.

Since one of the angles is 45 degrees and the sum of all internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, the other angle can only be 45 degrees, making this an isosceles triangle - that is, the length of the other leg, x, is also 7.

You could use the soh cah toa mnemonic to figure it out, but here just using the a^2 + b^2 = c^2 should be sufficient since we know both legs of the triangle.

7^2 + 7^2 = 98, and the square root of 98 gives you about 9.8995, which sounds about right for this situation.

Hope this helped!

Which is the inverse of the function a(d)=5d-3? And use the definition of inverse functions to prove a(d) and a-1(d) are inverse

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Solving (a): Write as inverse function

$a(d) = 5d - 3$

Represent a(d) as y

$y = 5d - 3$

Swap positions of d and y

$d = 5y - 3$

Make y the subject

$5y = d + 3$

$y = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Replace y with a'(d)

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Prove that a(d) and a'(d) are inverse functions

$a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ and $a(d) = 5d - 3$

To do this, we prove that:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

Solving for $a(a'(d))$

$a(a'(d)) = a(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5})$

Substitute $\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$ for d in $a(d) = 5d - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = 5(\frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}) - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = \frac{5d}{5} + \frac{15}{5} - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d + 3 - 3$

$a(a'(d)) = d$

Solving for: $a'(a(d))$

$a'(a(d)) = a'(5d - 3)$

Substitute 5d - 3 for d in $a'(d) = \frac{d}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3}{5} + \frac{3}{5}$

Add fractions

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d - 3+3}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = \frac{5d}{5}$

$a'(a(d)) = d$

Hence:

$a(a'(d)) = a'(a(d)) = d$

FIND THE UNIT RATE AND ROUND TO THE NEAREST HUNDREDTHS IF NECESSARY. Jasigreen's class opened last year and serviced 6,840 custo

Vladimir [108]

6840 customers ... 45 days
x customers = ? ... 1 day

If you would like to know how many customers were in Jasigreen's class in 1 day, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6840 * 1 = 45 * x
6840 = 45 * x /45
x = 6840 / 45
x = 152 customers

The correct result would be 152 customers.

Figure ABCD is graphed on a coordinate plane.

Phoenix [80]

1. BC is 1+3=4 (units)

2. AD is 3+5= 8 (units)

3. Draw the altitude CH from point C, as shown in the figure.

4. Then triangle CHD is a right triangle, with hypothenuse CD, and sides HD and CH.

5. $CD^2=HD^2+CH^2$

$CD^2=2^2+4^2=4+16=20$

$CD= \sqrt{20}= \sqrt{4*5}= \sqrt{4} * \sqrt{5}=2 \sqrt{5}= 4.47$

6. AB=CD=4.47 because the trapezoid is isosceles.

7. P= BC+AD+AB+CD=4+8+4.47+4.47=20.9 (units)
