If y = (x-5)(x+7) then what does x equal?

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

$\sqrt{xy}$

The Arithmetic mean is

$\frac{x + y}{2}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

$\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} } = \frac{3}{5}$

We can write the equation;

$\sqrt{xy} = 3$

or

$xy = 9 - - - (2)$

l

and

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 5$

or

$x + y = 10 - - - (2)$

Make y the subject in equation 2

$y = 10 - x - - - (3)$

Put equation 3 in 1

$x(10 - x) = 9$

$10x - {x}^{2} = 9$

${x}^{2} - 10x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0$

$x =1 \: or \: 9$

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

$\frac{1}{9}$

A cruise ship is traveling south going approximately 22 mph when it hits the Gulf Stream flowing east at 4 mph. Which expression

alexira [117]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is

a) $Resultant=\sqrt{22^{2} +4^{2} }$

Since a right triangle is formed, we can calculate the resultant force using the Pythagorean Theorem which states that:

$c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}$

Where,

c, is the hypothenuse.

a, is one triangle leg.

b, is the other triangle leg.

So, we are given the information:

$a=22mph$

$b=4mph$

So, calculating the resultant force (hypothenuse), we have:

$Resultant=\sqrt{22^{2} +4^{2} }$

Hence, the expression that would find the result velocity is:

a) [tex]Resultant=\sqrt{22^{2} +4^{2} }[/tex]

Have a nice day!

The sets A, B, and C are defined as follows:

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The element of B × A × C is equivalent to the element of A × B × C.

B × A × C = {tall foam nonfat, tall foam whole, tall no-foam nonfat, tall no-foam whole, grande foam non fat, grande foam whole, grande no foam nonfat, grande no foam whole, venti foam nonfat,, venti foam whole, venti nofoam nonfat, venti nofoam whole}

For the element of B × C

B × C = {foam nonfat, foam whole, no foam nonfat, no foam whole}

<h3>Product of sets</h3>

Given the following sets

A = {tall, grande, venti}

B = {foam, no-foam}

C = {non-fat, whole}

The set of A * B is expressed as:

A * B = {tall foam, tall no foam, grande foam, grande no foam, venti foam, venti nofoam}

A × B × C = {tall foam nonfat, tall foam whole, tall no-foam nonfat, tall no-foam whole, grande foam non fat, grande foam whole, grande no foam nonfat, grande no foam whole, venti foam nonfat,, venti foam whole, venti nofoam nonfat, venti nofoam whole}

The element of B × A × C is equivalent to the element of A × B × C.

B × A × C = {tall foam nonfat, tall foam whole, tall no-foam nonfat, tall no-foam whole, grande foam non fat, grande foam whole, grande no foam nonfat, grande no foam whole, venti foam nonfat,, venti foam whole, venti nofoam nonfat, venti nofoam whole}

For the element of B × C

B × C = {foam nonfat, foam whole, no foam nonfat, no foam whole}
