<h2>Answer:</h2>

angle QRS = 51°

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The diagram for the question has been attached to this response.

From the diagram, some circle theorems can be applied.

<em><u>Circle theorem:</u></em>

The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at any other point on the remaining part of the circle.

From the diagram, QR is the arc and therefore:

∠QSR = 2 x ∠ QTR

<em>Since ∠QTR = 39°</em>

=> ∠QSR = 2 x 39°

=> ∠QSR = 78°

<u><em>Other theorem:</em></u>

(i)The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Triangle QSR is an isosceles triangle, therefore, angles SQR and QRS are equal. i.e

∠SQR = ∠QRS

(ii) The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°. i.e

∠SQR + ∠QRS + ∠QSR = 180°

<em>Since ∠SQR = ∠QRS and ∠QSR = 78°</em>

=> ∠QRS + ∠QRS + 78° = 180°

=> 2(∠QRS) = 180° - 78°

=> 2(∠QRS) = 102°

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

=> ∠QRS = 51°

Therefore, angle QRS = 51°

Y = 15x + 10, where y is the total cost of renting 1 bicycle on the boardwalk for x hours. Determine whether the function is pro

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The function is non-proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function was proportional, when the number of hours spent riding the bicycle is equal to 0, the total cost of renting the bicycle would also be 0. In other words, the function would be proportional if y=0 when x=0. However, this is not the case.

$y=15x+10$

Plug 0 into the equation as x

$y=15(0)+10\\y=10$

When 1 bicycle has been rented for 0 hours, the customer still has to pay 10 dollars just for renting it. When x=0, y=10. This means that the function is non-proportional.

I hope this helps!

What is the reason for each strip on the solution of the equation?

Pani-rosa [81]

Step 1: Given

Step 2: Distributive Property

Step 3: Addition Property of Equality

Step 4: Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to match the reason with the correct step in the equation.

Equation:

Given:

$2x = -4(x-3)$

Applying Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac

$2x=-4x+12$

Now, Applying addition property of equality:

Adding +4x on both sides

$2x+4x=-4x+12+4x\\6x=12$

Now, Applying Division property of Equality:

Divide both sides by 6:

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{12}{6}\\x=2$

So, Answer will be:

Step 1: Given

Step 2: Distributive Property

Step 3: Addition Property of Equality

Step 4: Division Property of Equality

The 3rd and 6th term of a geometric progression are 9/2 and 243/16 respectively find the first term, common ratio, seventh term

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let\ (u_n)\ the\ geometric\ progression.\\\\r\ is\ the\ common\ ratio.\\\\u_3=u_0*r^3\\u_6=u_0*r^6\\\\\dfrac{u_6}{u_3} =r^3=\dfrac{\frac{243}{16} }{\frac{9}{2} } =\dfrac{27}{8} =(\frac{3}{2} )^3\\\\\boxed{r=\dfrac{3}{2} }\\\\\\u_3=u_1*r^2 \Longrightarrow\ u_1=\dfrac{u_3}{r^2} =\dfrac{\frac{9}{2} }{(\frac{3}{2^2}) } =2\\\\\\u_7=u_6*\dfrac{3}{2} =\dfrac{729}{32}$
