Using Triangle Similarity Theorems (6)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

DC = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on triangle similarity theorem, we would have the following equation:

\frac{AD}{AC} = \frac{AE}{AB}

Plug in the values

\frac{9}{9 + DC} = \frac{12}{12 + 4}

\frac{9}{9 + DC} = \frac{12}{16}

\frac{9}{9 + DC} = \frac{3}{4}

Cross multiply

3(9 + DC) = 9×4

27 + 3DC = 36

Subtract 27 from each side

3DC = 36 - 27

3DC = 9

Divide both sides by 3

DC = 9/3

DC = 3

AleksAgata [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 3 ounces of 75%
  • 7 ounces of 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounces of 75% silver needed. Then (10-x) is the number of ounces of 45% silver. The total silver required is ...

  0.75x +0.45(10 -x) = 0.54(10)

  0.30x +4.5 = 5.4

  0.30x = 0.9

  x = 0.9/0.3 = 3 . . . . . ounces of 75% silver

  10-x = 7 . . . . . ounces of 45% silver

Luis needs 7 ounces of 45% silver and 3 ounces of 75% silver.

These are the first six terms of a sequence with a1= -7:
SVEN [57.7K]

The recursive formula for this sequence is a_{1} = -7;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula of the arithmetic sequence is:

a_{1} = first term;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + d

  • a_{1} is the first term in the sequence  
  • a_{n} is the nth term in the sequence  
  • a_{n-1}  the term before the nth term  
  • n is the term number
  • d is the common difference

∵ The sequence is -7 , 3 , 13  , 23 , 33 , 43 , ........

∵ 3 - (-7) = 3 + 7 = 10

∵ 13 - 3 = 10

∵ 23 - 13 = 10

- There is a constant difference 10 between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is an arithmetic sequence

∵ The first term is -7

∴ a_{1} = 7

∵ The common difference is 10

∴ d = 10

- Substitute in the formula above a_{1} by -7 and d by 10

∴ a_{1} = -7;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 10

To check the formula find the second term

∵ n = 2

∴ a_{1} = -7;  n_{2} = n_{2-1} + 10

∴  n_{2} = n_{1} + 10

∵ n_{1}  = -7

∴ n_{2} = -7 + 10 = 3 which is right

The recursive formula for this sequence is a_{1} = -7;  a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 10
