Answer:

  A) SQ is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the closest adjacent segment of the hypotenuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. That means corresponding sides have the same ratio (are proportional).

Here, SQ is the hypotenuse of ΔSQT and the short side of ΔRQS.

Those two triangles are similar, so we can write ...

  (short side)/(hypotenuse) = QT/SQ = QS/RQ

In the above proportion, we have used the vertices in the same order they appear in the similarity statement (ΔSQT ~ ΔRQS). Of course, the names can have the vertices reversed:

  QT/SQ = SQ/QR . . . . . QS = SQ, RQ = QR

__

When this is rewritten to solve for SQ, we get ...

  SQ² = QR·QT

  SQ = √(QR·QT) . . . . SQ (short side) is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the short segment.

Which system of inequalities does the graph represent? Which test point satisfies both of the inequalities in that system?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

1) The inequality for the given system are

y ≥ 4x - 4

y ≥ x - 1.5

2)  The test point (0,0)  satisfies both of the inequalities in the system represented by the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A graph showing  a system of inequalities.

We have to find the system of inequality.

For line 1)

The points that cut the x and y axis are (1,0) and (0,-4)

Thus, we can find the equation of line using two given point.

Since the general equation of line is y = mx + c

Where m is slope and c is y intercept

Slope is find as m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute, we get,

m=\frac{-4-0}{0-1}=4

Slope is 4.

Thus, equation becomes y = 4x + c

For c put (0,-4)  in the above equation , we have,

-4 = 4(0) + c ⇒ c = -4

Thus, equation becomes y = 4x - 4

For inequality take a test point (0,0) and we check for which inequality it satisfies the graph region

For (0,0)

y = 4x - 4 becomes 0 = - 4  is satisfied when 0 > -4

thus, the inequality becomes y ≥ 4x - 4

Since, the line is a solid so it will take up equality sign too.

For line 2)

The points that cut the x and y axis are (1.5,0) and (0,-1.5)

Thus, we can find the equation of line using two given point.

Since the general equation of line is y = mx + c

Where m is slope and c is y intercept

Slope is find as m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute, we get,

m=\frac{-1.5-0}{0-1.5}=1

Slope is 1.

Thus, equation becomes y = x + c

For c put (0,-1.5)  in the above equation , we have,

-1.5 = (0) + c ⇒ c = - 1.5

Thus, equation becomes y = x - 1.5

For inequality take a test point (0,0) and we check for which inequality it satisfies the graph region

For (0,0)

y = x - 1.5 becomes 0 = -1.5  is satisfied when 0 > - 1.5

thus, the inequality becomes y ≥ x - 1.5

Since, the line is a solid so it will take up equality sign too.

Thus, the inequality for the given system are

y ≥ 4x - 4

y ≥ x - 1.5

Also,  The test point (0,0)  satisfies both of the inequalities in the system represented by the graph.
