Find the value of y and simplify completely.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anna [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = 8

x = 8√5

z = 4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula (which is a geometric mean):

a        y

---- = -----

x        a

Where a is the altitude (y), x is a projection (16), and y is the other projection (4):

y        4

---- = -----

16       y

Cross multiply:

y² = 16 (4)

y² = 64

√y² = √64

y = 8

To find x and z, use the Pythagorean Theorem:

16² + y² = x²

256 + 8² = x²

256 + 64 = x²

320 = x²

√320 = √x²

√64√5 = √x²

8√5 = x

x = 8√5

4² + y² = z²

16 + 64 = z²

80 = z²

√80 = √z²

√16√5 = √z²

4√5 = z

z = 4√5

14. y = 4x + 1

(2,-1)

-1 = 4*2 + 1

-1 = 9 FALSE

(1,5)

5 = 4*-1 + 1

5 = -3 FALSE

Which one is irrational π or 3.14
BaLLatris [955]

An irrational number is one that cannot be shown as ratio of two integers, an 3.14=314/100 so that means pi is irrational. Another thing to note is that pi is transcendental which means it is not the root of any algebraic equation.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:For the student to be considered for the tutoring or extension activities, his/her score must be 20 points lower or higher than the average.


The average is given as 105, that means:


Minimum score to be considered = 105 - 20 = 85


Maximum score to be considered = 105 + 20 = 125


If p represents the performance of a student, then this inequality will be represented as follows:


                    85 ≤ p ≤125
