Solve the following problems: Find x, y

Mathematics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

x=1.25, y=1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles formed (one triangle with side lengths of 5, 7, 8 and another with sides 5+x, 10, and 7+y) are similar, because they share the same angle measures.

Now, 2 sides given that we can compare ratios with are the side with length 8, and the side with length 10. 10/8= 1.25, which is the ratio of the sides on these 2 triangles.

Now we want to find what the side '5+x' is equal to. To do that we can use our  ratio, and multiply 5 by 1.25 to find '5+x'. This is 6.25. To find x, all we need to do is subtract 5 from 6.25, which is 1.25.

Let's find y now. Do the same thing that we did with the side '5+x'; find what '7+y' is by multiplying 7 by 1.25, which is 8.75. 8.75-7= 1.75.

Hope this helps! :)

Let u = in x and v = in y. Write in(x3y2) in terms of u and v
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you mean u=ln x,v=ln y

ln(x^3y^2)=lnx^3+ln y^2

=3 ln x+2 ln y

=3u+2v

Three numbers a;b; 9; ... are in geometric sequence. If 1 is subtracted from the first term then
kenny6666 [7]

if a b 9 are in GP

b÷a = 9 ÷ b

b^2 = 9a

if a - 1 b 9 are in AP

2b = a+8

b = a+8÷2

substitute

b is equal to a + 8 by 2 in b square equal to 9 a

(a+8÷2)^2 = 9a

a^2+16a+64 = 36a

a^2 -20a +64 =0

(a-16) (a-4) =0

a= 16 or a=4

when a=16 b= 12

when a=4 b= 6

Value of a and b are given above
