Answer:

If you know that Angle X and Angle Y are complementary angles, X+Y = 90

Then we translate the sentence "angle x is 8 times larger than angle Y" into mathematical terms. is means equal, and 8 times means multiplication. This gives us our second equation

X = 8Y

We then use the property of substitution to combine the equations into a solvable system. if X = 8Y and X + Y = 90, we can say that 8Y + Y = 90.

combining like terms, we have 9Y = 90. Y then equals 10.

We then substitute back into the original X = 8Y to get X = 8*10. X = 80.

The final answer is X = 80 degrees and Y equals 10 degrees

The vertex of this parabola is at (3,-2). when the x-value is 4, the y-value is 3. whatis the coefficient of the squared express

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation will be 5.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The vertex form of parabola</u> is: $y=a(x-h)^2 +k$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex point and $a$ is the coefficient of $x^2$ term.

The vertex is given as $(3,-2)$ . That means, $h=3$ and $k=-2$

So, the vertex form will be: $y=a(x-3)^2-2$

Given that, when the x-value is 4, the y-value is 3. So, plugging these values into the above equation, we will get.....

$3=a(4-3)^2-2\\ \\ 3=a(1)^2-2\\ \\ a=3+2=5$

Thus, the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation will be 5.

There is a 4-foot fence that surrounds your backyard. The fence casts a shadow that is 5 feet long. If you are 6 feet tall and s

Strike441 [17]

My shadow would be 7 feet tall.

Since I am standing next to the fence, then whatever difference its actual height and its shadow has, will be the same difference of my shadow to my actual height.

fence: Actual height - 4 ft ; Shadow height - 5 ft; difference - 1 ft
me : Actual height - 6 ft : Shadow height - ? ; difference - 1ft

Shadow Height - Actual Height = 1 ft
Sh - 6ft = 1ft
Sh = 1ft + 6ft
Sh = 7ft
