Answer:

The function f(x) = -9.5 + 6 + x² is neither odd or even.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a function is termed as 'even' when

f(-x) = f(x) for all x

We know that a function is termed as 'odd' when

f(-x) = -f(x) for all x

Given the function

f(x) = -9.5x⁵ + 6 + x²

substitute x with -x

f(-x) = -9.5(-x)⁵ + 6 + (-x)²

as (-x)⁵ = -x⁵, so

f(-x) = -(-9.5x)⁵ + 6 + (-x)²

Apply exponent rule: (-a)ⁿ = aⁿ, if n is even

f(-x) = -(-9.5x)⁵ + 6 + x²

Apply rule: -(-a) = a

f(-x) = 9x⁵ + 6 + x²

f(-x) ≠ f(x) ≠ -f(x)

Therefore, the function f(x) = -9.5 + 6 + x² is neither odd or even.

In right △ABC, the altitude CH to the hypotenuse AB intersects angle bisector AL in point D. Find the sides of △ABC if AD = 8 cm

tangare [24]

Answer:

$AC=8\sqrt{3}\ cm\\ \\AB=16\sqrt{3}\ cm\\ \\BC=24\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider right triangle ADH ( it is right triangle, because CH is the altitude). In this triangle, the hypotenuse AD = 8 cm and the leg DH = 4 cm. If the leg is half of the hypotenuse, then the opposite to this leg angle is equal to 30°.

By the Pythagorean theorem,

$AD^2=AH^2+DH^2\\ \\8^2=AH^2+4^2\\ \\AH^2=64-16=48\\ \\AH=\sqrt{48}=4\sqrt{3}\ cm$

AL is angle A bisector, then angle A is 60°. Use the angle's bisector property:

$\dfrac{CA}{CD}=\dfrac{AH}{HD}\\ \\\dfrac{CA}{CD}=\dfrac{4\sqrt{3}}{4}=\sqrt{3}\Rightarrow CA=\sqrt{3}CD$

Consider right triangle CAH.By the Pythagorean theorem,

$CA^2=CH^2+AH^2\\ \\(\sqrt{3}CD)^2=(CD+4)^2+(4\sqrt{3})^2\\ \\3CD^2=CD^2+8CD+16+48\\ \\2CD^2-8CD-64=0\\ \\CD^2-4CD-32=0\\ \\D=(-4)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-32)=16+128=144\\ \\CD_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{144}}{2\cdot 1}=\dfrac{4\pm 12}{2}=-4,\ 8$

The length cannot be negative, so CD=8 cm and

$CA=\sqrt{3}CD=8\sqrt{3}\ cm$

In right triangle ABC, angle B = 90° - 60° = 30°, leg AC is opposite to 30°, and the hypotenuse AB is twice the leg AC. Hence,

$AB=2CA=16\sqrt{3}\ cm$

By the Pythagorean theorem,

$BC^2=AB^2-AC^2\\ \\BC^2=(16\sqrt{3})^2-(8\sqrt{3})^2=256\cdot 3-64\cdot 3=576\\ \\BC=24\ cm$

What is the value of x ??

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tangent-Secant Exterior Angle Measure Theorem states that if a tangent and a secant or two tangents/secants intersect outside of a circle, then the measure of the angle formed by them is half of the difference of the measures of its intercepted arcs. Basically, what that means here is that $x$ equals half of the difference of $30\textdegree$ and the measure of the unlabeled arc.

First, we need to find the measure of the unlabeled arc, since we can't find $x$ without it. We know that the measure of the full arc formed by the circle is $360\textdegree$ , so the measure of the unlabeled arc must be $360-30-100-100=130\textdegree$ by the Arc Addition Postulate.

Now, we can find $x$ . Using all of the information known, we can solve for $x$ like this:

$\\x=\frac{1}{2} (130\textdegree-30\textdegree)\\=\frac{1}{2} (100\textdegree)\\=50\textdegree$

Hope this helps!

A 25 ft. ladder resting against the side of a building forms a right triangle with the ground. The bottom of the ladder is 7 ft.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The correct answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this you will need to use the pathagreom theorum

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

A= one side lenth

B= the secons side lenth

C= hypotnuse

It is helpfull to draw out the situation

you know that the latter is 25 ft, that is your hypotnuse

you also know that the 7 ft away from the base of the building is one of the side lenths, lets call it side a

so plug the numbers into the equation

7^2 + b^2 = 25 ^2

you leave b^2 alone because that is the side you are trying to find

now square 7 and 25 but leave b^2 alone

49 + b^2 = 625

now subtract 49 from both sides

b^2 = 576

now to get rid of the square of b you have to do the opposite and square root both sides removing the square of the B and giving you the answer of..........

B= 24

Hope this helped!! I tryed to explain it as simpil as possiable
