1 answer:

5 0

In geometry, a secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve at a minimum of two distinct points. In the case of a circle, a secant will intersect the circle at exactly two points.

Solve the proportion

mario62 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x = 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: x \: over \: the \: real \: numbers: \\ \sf \implies \frac{2}{x - 3} = \frac{5}{x} \\ \\ \sf Take \: the \: reciprocal \: of \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x - 3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) = \frac{x}{5} - ( \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} ) \\ \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} + \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{5} - \frac{x}{5} = 0 : \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = 0: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{5x - 2x}{10} = \frac{3x}{10} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \sf Multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: \frac{10}{3} : \\ \sf \implies \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{3}{2 } \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3x}{10} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{\frac{3}{10} } \times( x) \times \cancel{ \frac{10}{3} } = x : \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{10}{3} = \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times \cancel{ \frac{3}{2} } \times 5 : \\ \sf \implies x = 5$

Country days scholarship rounds receive a gift of $135000. The money is invested in stock, bonds, and CDs. CDs pay 2.75% interes

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

CDs — $10,000
bonds — $80,000
stocks — $45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables c, b, s represent the dollar amounts invested in CDs, stocks, and bonds, respectively. Then the problem statement gives us 3 relations between these 3 variables:

c + b + s = 135000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . total invested

0.0275c +.045b +0.104s = 8555 . . . . . total income earned

-c + b = 70000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70,000 more was in bonds than CDs

Using the third equation to write an expression for b, we can substitute into the other two equations.

b = 70000 +c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . expression we can substitute for b

c + (70000 +c) +s = 135000 . . . . substitute for b in the first equation

2c +s = 65000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [eq4] simplify

.0275c +.045(70000 +c) +.104s = 8555 . . . . . substitute for b in 2nd eqn

.0725c +.104s = 5405 . . . . . . . . . . [eq5] simplify

Using [eq4], we can write an expression for s that can be substituted into [eq5].

s = 65000 -2c . . . . . . . expression we can substitute for s

0.0725c +0.104(65000 -2c) = 5405

-0.1355c = -1355 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6760, simplify

c = 1355/.1355 = 10,000

s = 65000 -2×10000 = 45,000

b = 70000 +10000 = 80,000

The amounts invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs were $45,000, $80,000, and $10,000, respectively.

Alternatively, you can reduce the augmented matrix for this problem to row-echelon form using any of several calculators or on-line sites. That matrix is ...

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&135000\\0.0275&0.045&0.104&8555\\-1&1&0&70000\end{array}\right]$

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

State A was the <u>12th</u> state to enter the Union. State B was the <u>11th</u> state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

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