Answer:
x ≈ 4.2 (nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
The chord of length 4 is the base of an isosceles triangle with height of 3.7 and sides equal to the radius (x).
An isosceles triangle comprises two right triangles, each with:
- base = 2 units
- height = 3.7 units
- hypotenuse = x units
Therefore, to find x use Pythagoras' Theorem: a² + b² = c²
(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)
⇒ a² + b² = c²
⇒ 2² + 3.7² = x²
⇒ x² = 17.69
⇒ x = √(17.69)
⇒ x = 4.2 (nearest tenth)
Answer:
Only C is a function
Step-by-step explanation:
To test whether a graph is a function you use the vertical line test.
If you can place a vertical line anywhere on the plane (in the domain of the "function" to be tested) and it intersects the curve at more than one point, the curve is not a function.
We see with A, wherever we put the vertical line it intersects twice.
With B, it intersects infinitely many times.
C is a function because wherever we put the vertical line, it only intersects once.
D is a function because it intersects twice providing we do not put it on the "tip" of the parabola.
The mathematical reasoning behind this is that a function must be well-defined, that is it must send every x-value to one specific y-value. There can be no confusion about where the function's input is going. If you look at graph B and I ask you what is f(3)? Is it 1? 2? 3? ... Who knows, it's not well-defined and so it's not a function. However if I ask you about C, whichever input value for x I give you, you can tell me to which y-value it gets mapped/sent to.
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the mixed number into an improper fraction...
6 12/17 becomes 114/17
The definition of a rational number is any number a/b where b does not equal zero. 114/17 satisfies this requirement, so it is a rational number
Answer:
The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides. x is in this case the length of the rectangle while y is the width of the rectangle. The perimeter, P, is: P=x+x+y+y.
