Answer: Choice B

Open circle at 3. Shading to the right

========================================================

Work Shown:

3(8 - 4x) < 6(x - 5)

24 - 12x < 6x - 30

24 + 30 < 6x + 12x

54 < 18x

18x > 54

x > 54/18

x > 3

We use an open circle at 3 to indicate we don't include this endpoint as part of the solution. The solution set is everything larger than 3, so we shade to the right of this open circle.

What are the solutions of x^2-2x+5=0
sweet [91]

The solution of x^{2}-2 x+5=0 are 1 + 2i and 1 – 2i

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, equation is x^{2}-2 x+5=0

We have to find the roots of the given quadratic equation

Now, let us use the quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}  --- (1)

<em><u>Let us determine the nature of roots:</u></em>

Here in x^{2}-2 x+5=0 a = 1 ; b = -2 ; c = 5

b^2 - 4ac = 2^2 - 4(1)(5) = 4 - 20 = -16

Since b^2 - 4ac < 0 , the roots obtained will be complex conjugates.

Now plug in values in eqn 1, we get,

x=\frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 5}}{2 \times 1}

On solving we get,

x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-20}}{2}

x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{-16}}{2}

x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{-1}}{2}

we know that square root of -1 is "i" which is a complex number

\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{x}=\frac{2 \pm 4 i}{2}} \\\\ {\mathrm{x}=1 \pm 2 i}\end{array}

Hence, the roots of the given quadratic equation are 1 + 2i and 1 – 2i

Jocelyn said that the triangle below is not a right triangle. Her work is shown below. Explain what she did wrong and show Jocel
AfilCa [17]

Complete Question:

Jocelyn said that the triangle below is not a right triangle. Her work is shown below. Explain what she did wrong, and show Jocelyn the correct solution.

We need to check if 27² + 45² = 36² is a true statement. The left side of the equation is equal to 2,754. The right side of the equation is equal to 1,296. That means 272 + 452 = 362 is not true, and the triangle shown is not a right triangle

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Jocelyn used a wrong equation and statement.

Here's what she should have stated and done.

Using the converse of Pythagorean Theorem, which says that a triangle with sides a, b, and c is a right triangle if it satisfy the statement: a² + b² = c².

Where, c is the hypotenuse which is the longest leg. While a and b are the side lengths of the other two legs.

Therefore, in this case,

c = 45

b = 27

a = 36

Thus, what we need to check to be true would be:

36² + 27² = 45² (this is where Jocelyn made a mistake. Jocelyn wrote 27² + 45² = 36² rather)

Let's check if it's true.

2,025 = 2,025 (this is true)

Therefore, the triangle is a right triangle.

A tree cast a shadow of 30m long and a 2m stick casts one that is 3m long. As show in the below diagram how tall is the tree?​
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

  • 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We have similar triangles here.</u>

  • BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC

<u>The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:</u>

  • BC/DE = AC/AE
  • BC / 2 = 30/3
  • BC / 2 = 10
  • BC = 2*10
  • BC = 20 m

What value makes the equation true? 2(x-5)=20
SashulF [63]

2(x-5)=20

Divide both sides by 2  (division of property equality)

x - 5 = 10

Add 5 to both sides     (addition of property equality)

x = 15

Answer

x = 15 is the solution
