Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. HELP ME PLZZZZ!!!! ASAP

Answer: 2\sqrt{22}

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

We can solve for x by only using the left side of the triangle. Since we're only using the left side of the triangle, we can reduce 18 by 2 to get 9. Now we plug in our information to the equation.

9^{2} +b^{2} = 13^{2}

81 +b^{2} = 169

Since we don't know what b^{2} is, we're going to isolate it by subtracting 81 on both sides

b^{2} = 88

We have to square root both sides in order to find out b (or x in the problem).

\sqrt{b^{2}} = \sqrt{88}

When you put this on a calculator it would result in 2\sqrt{22} which is the answer d in the problem.

Given the trinomial, what is the value of the coefficient B in the factored form? 2x2 + 4xy − 48y2 = 2(x + By)(x − 4y) −12 12 −6
Sonja [21]

Answer:

B is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find a value for B such that:

2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x+By)(x-4y) is true for every x,y.

So let's choose x=0,y=1:

2(0)^2+4(0)(1)-48(1)^2=2(0+B(1))(0-4(1))

2(0)+0-48=2(B)(-4)

0-48=-8B

-48=-8B

Divide both sides by -8:

\frac{-48}{-8}=B

6=B

B=6

Note: I didn't want to choose y to be 0 because the value of B would disappear from the equation. So you should be able to have chosen any x and y except for y=0 to solve the equation for B.

Check:

So let's check and use foil to multiply out the right hand side.

(x+6y)(x-4y)

x(x)+x(-4y)+6y(x)+6y(-4y)

x^2-4xy+6xy-24y^2

x^2+2xy-24y^2

There was a 2 in front of that multplicapltiation:

2(x+6y)(x-4y)

2(x^2+2xy-24y^2)

2x^2+4xy-48y^2

This is exactly what we have on the left hand side of your given equation.

A motorcycle can go 50 miles using one gallon of gas. About how many gallons of gas will be used to go 150 kilometers? (Hint: 1
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.875 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

distance = 50 mi

volume of gas = 1 gal

volume for 150 km = ?

Process

1.- Convert 50 mi into kilometers

                         1 mile ------------------- 1.6 km

                          x        ------------------ 150 km

                          x = (150 x 1)/1.6

                          x = 93.75 mi

2.- Calculate the gallons wasted

                          1 gallon ----------------- 50 mi

                          x            ---------------- 93.75 mi

                          x = (93.75 x 1)/50

                          x = 93.75/50

                         x = 1.875 gallons
