in the figure below, what are the values of x and y? What are the measures of the four angles in the figure
1 answer:
Answer:
a. x=57.6, y=44.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Named the angles, check the picture for that
<ABD+<ACD=180 (Opposite angles of a quadrilateral is supplementary (180 degrees)
<CAB+<BDC=180 (Opposite angles of a quadrilateral is supplementary (180 degrees)
therefore:
a. 3y+x-12=180.............. equ 1
2x+y+20=180.............equ 2
From equ 1
x+3y=180+12
x+3y=192...............equ 3
From equ 2
2x+y=180-20
2x+y=160.............equ 4
Equate equ 3 and equ 4
x+3y=192...............equ 3
<u>2x+y=160</u>.............equ 4
Using elimation method
x+3y=192...............equ 3
<u>2x+y=160</u>.............equ 4
Multiple equ 3 by 1 and equ 4 by 3
x+3y=192...............equ 3 ×1
<u>2x+y=160</u>.............equ 4 ×3
x+3y=192
<u>6x+3y=480</u>
Subtract
-5x+0=-288
-5x=-288
x=57.6................... Equ 5
Replace 57.6 for x in equ 3
x+3y=192...............equ 3
57.6+3y=192
3y=192-57.6
3y=134.4
y=44.8
B. <CAB= 2x=2×57.6=115.2
<ABD= 3y=3×44.8= 134.4
<ACD=x-12=57.6-12=45.6
<BDC=y+20=44.8+20=64.8

Before we find 
, let's think for a minute about what 
does, and what it means to find the inverse of a function. A function essentially takes a value <em />
from the <em>domain</em> and maps it to another value <em />
in that function's <em>range</em> according to a set of rules. Here, those rules are defined by the formula
All the inverse does is <em>swap the domain and range of the function</em>. Now, instead of trying to map to , we're trying to find a set of rules that'll map back to . To find those rules, all we have to do is solve the above equation for .
First, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by
to get it out of the denominator:
Cancelling on the right side and distributing on the left, we get:
Next, we collect all of our x terms on one side, and all of our non-x terms on the other:
Let's rearrange the right side and factor out an x on the left:
And finally, we divide both sides by
to obtain our answer:
![[x(3y-4)]/(3y-4)=(y+2)/(3y-4)\\\\x= \frac{y+2}{3y-4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%283y-4%29%5D%2F%283y-4%29%3D%28y%2B2%29%2F%283y-4%29%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D%20%5Cfrac%7By%2B2%7D%7B3y-4%7D%20)
This equation gives us the "rules" for mapping any given y in the range back to an x in the domain. If we swap the domain and the range, we can define our function
