9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS

  b) x = 28 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The left-side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2

The right side segments are in the ratio ...

  top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2

These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.

Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:

  12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x

__

The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:

  x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12

  x = 28 1/3

Twice a year, for all four years of college, you used your credit card to pay for books and supplies, which amounts to $516 a se
mixer [17]

Answer:

$11,728

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice a year, for 4 years is 8 times

516×8 = 4128

Yearly for 4 years is 4 times

700×4 = 2800

Every month for 4 years is 48 times

100×48 = 4800

Minimum expenditure:

4128 + 2800 + 4800 = $11,728

7a^3(6a^2 + a)^2 - 4a^6


All we have to do here is basically add and subtract exponents!

(6a^2 + a)^2 = 36a^4 + a^2


7a^3(36a^4 + a^2) - 4a^6


252a^7 + 7a^5 - 4a^6


Answer is C.

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. -9 - 4 + 1 + 6 + ... + 66
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Summation notation is:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9]

If you prefer it a little more simplified:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}(5x-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

First my favorite part, finding a pattern between the consecutive terms.

This is an arithmetic series because the terms are going up by 5 each time.

So arithmetic sequence, think linear equations:

x     |      y

1            -9

2           -4

3             1

4             6

..................

n             66

We are going to have to find that n but will will eventually...

The equation for a line in point slope form is y-y_1=m(x_x_1) where (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

We are already have the slope is 5 (the slope is the common difference in arithmetic sequence).

I'm going to use the first point (1,-9).

So the equation in point slope form is y-(-9)=5(x-1)

Subtract 9 on both sides:

y=5(x-1)-9

Now we need to know how many terms we are adding so what is x if y=66.

66=5(x-1)-9

Add 9 on both sides:

75=5(x-1)

Divide both sides by 5:

15=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

16=x

We have 16 terms in this sequence where the 16th term is 66.

Summation notation is:

\sum_{n=1}^{16}[5(x-1)-9]

You could simplify the 5(x-1)-9.

Distribute:  5x-5-9

Add like terms:  5x-14
