66
Step-by-step explanation:
pretty sure it's 66 because the two lengths added together is 66
Answer:
The general plan is to find BM and from that CM. You need 2 equations to do that.
Step One
Set up the two equations.
(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = (4*sqrt(2) ) ^ 2 = 32
BM^2 + CM^2 = 5^2 = 25
Step Two
Subtract the two equations.
(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = 32
BM^2 + CM^2 = 25
(7 - BM)^2 - BM^2 = 7 (3)
Step three
Expand the left side of the new equation labeled (3)
49 - 14BM + BM^2 - BM^2 = 7
Step 4
Simplify And Solve
49 - 14BM = 7 Subtract 49 from both sides.
-49 - 14BM = 7 - 49
- 14BM = - 42 Divide by - 14
BM = -42 / - 14
BM = 3
Step Five
Find CM
CM^2 + BM^2 = 5^2
CM^2 + 3^2 = 5^2 Subtract 3^2 from both sides.
CM^2 = 25 - 9
CM^2 = 16 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(CM^2) = sqrt(16)
CM = 4 < Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
X-doubling periods
Y-height of bamboo
Y=ab^x
1) make a table of values
X Y
1 5
2 10
3 20
2) write equations and substitute
5=ab^1 —> a=5/b^1 —> a=5/b
10=ab^2
Substitute into second equation
10=(5/b)*b^2
10=5b^2/b
10=5b
b=2
Substitute back in
b=2
10=a*2^2
10=4a
a=5/2
End equation:
Y=5/2*2^x
Does this help you at all?
Find rates of change until you find a constant.
dy/dx=1,2,3,4,5,6
d2y/dx2=1,1,1,1,1
So the acceleration, d2y/d2x, is constant. This means that this is a quadratic sequence of the form a(n)=an^2+bn+c. So we can set up a system of equations to solve for the values of a,b, and c. Using the first three points, (1,1), (2,2), and (3,4) we have:
9a+3b+c=4, 4a+2b+c=2, and a+b+c=1 getting the differences...
5a+b=2 and 3a+b=1 and getting this difference...
2a=1, so a=1/2 making 5a+b=2 become:
2.5+b=2, so b=-1/2, making a+b+c=1 become:
1/2-1/2+c=1, so c=1 so the rule is:
a(n)=0.5x^2-0.5x+1 or if you prefer to not have decimals
a(n)=(x^2-x+2)/2
