Triangle ABC has side lengths 8 inches, 17 inches, and 15 inches. Sofia uses the following steps to conclude that triangle ABC i

s not a right triangle.
a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\8^{2} +17^{2} =15^{2} \\64+289=225\\353\neq 225

What mistake did Sofia make?

A Sofia made a calculation error.
B Sofia used the length of one of the legs as c when she should have used the length of the longest side as c.
C Sofia does not know if triangle ABC is a right triangle, so she cannot use the Pythagorean Theorem or its converse.
D Sofia’s conclusion is incorrect. When the sides of a triangle do not satisfy a2+b2=c2, you cannot conclude that the triangle is a right triangle.

Solve the following equation on the interval [0, 2π). tan^2x sin x = tan^2x
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3>Given</h3>

tan(x)²·sin(x) = tan(x)²

<h3>Find</h3>

x on the interval [0, 2π)

<h3>Solution</h3>

Subtract the right side and factor. Then make use of the zero-product rule.

... tan(x)²·sin(x) -tan(x)² = 0

... tan(x)²·(sin(x) -1) = 0

This is an indeterminate form at x = π/2 and undefined at x = 3π/2. We can resolve the indeterminate form by using an identity for tan(x)²:

... tan(x)² = sin(x)²/cos(x)² = sin(x)²/(1 -sin(x)²)

Then our equation becomes

... sin(x)²·(sin(x) -1)/((1 -sin(x))(1 +sin(x))) = 0

... -sin(x)²/(1 +sin(x)) = 0

Now, we know the only solutions are found where sin(x) = 0, at ...

... x ∈ {0, π}

What value of x makes the equation -5x - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4) tru
Aloiza [94]

Answer: 1/10 or 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

    -(-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

      7 + 4x = -6x + 8

   * subtract 7 from both sides

            4x = -6x + 1

   * Add 6x to both sides

           10 x = 1

   * Divide both sides by 10

             x = 1/10  or 0.10

What is the common ratio between successive terms in the sequence
wel
Let a₁ , a₂ , a₃ , a₄ ,... .be a given sequence.
The common ratio of this sequence is the following:
 a₂/a₁ = a₃/a₂ = a₄/a₃ = r

Example: 5, 25, 125, 625, ...The common ration  is:
 25/5 = 125/25 = 625/125 = 5. So r=5 is the common ratio
