Answer:

13.9 or 14

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 13^2 = c^2

25 + 169 = 197

square root 197 to get c

c = 13.9 (14 rounded up)

Helpful thing to note is that the hyptoenuse will always be longer than your "long side" of the triangle

Yun was trying to factor 7x^2-14x7x

disa [49]

the width of Yun's area model is 7x units or ( x-2 )units .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Yun was trying to factor 7x^2-14x. He found that the greatest common factor of these terms was 7x and made an area model: What is the width of Yun's area model. Let's find out:

We know that area of rectangle :

⇒ $Area = length(width)$ .........(1)

Now , According to question we have

⇒ $Area = 7x^2-14x$

⇒ $Area = 7x(x-2)$

Comparing this equation to equation (1) we get that :

⇒ $width = 7x$ or , $width =x -2$

Therefore , the width of Yun's area model is 7x units or ( x-2 )units .

The coordinates of the vertex for the quadratic function are given as follows: (100,10).

<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

The vertex is given by:

$(x_v, y_v)$

In which:

$x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}$

$y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}$

In this problem, the function is given as follows:

y = -x²/1000 + x/5

y = -0.001x² + 0.2x.

Hence the coefficients are a = -0.001, b = 0.2, c = 0 and the coordinates of the vertex are given as follows:

$x_v = -\frac{0.2}{2(-0.001)} = 100$

$y_v = -\frac{(0.2)^2}{4(-0.001)} = 10$

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

cestrela7 [59]

The amount of gas consumed by first and second car were 20 gallons and 15 gallons respectively.

Explanation

Suppose, $x$ gallons of gas were consumed by the first car.

As the total gas consumption in one week is 35 gallons, so the amount of gas consumed by second car will be: $(35-x)$ gallons.

The first car has a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas.

So, the distance traveled by the first car in $x$ gallons of gas $=35x$ miles and the distance traveled by the second car in $(35-x)$ gallons of gas $=15(35-x)$ miles.
