the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.
the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.
a)
if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6 = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.
b)
clearly we can never get an output of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.
let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so
so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.
so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.
The question already has all the information's that are required for getting to the solution. It is important to minutely look at all the details provided.
Actual price of the item = $14.74
Percentage of sales tax that needs to be added = 4%
Then
Amount of sales tax that needs to be added = (4/100) * 14.74 dollars
= 58.96/100 dollars
= 0.5896 dollars
= 0.59 dollars
Then
The cost of the item including sales tax = (14.74 + 0.59) dollars
= 15.33 dollars
From the above deduction we can easily conclude that the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B".
Since segment AC bisects (aka cuts in half) angle A, this means the two angles CAB and CAD are the same measure. I'll refer to this later as "fact 1".
Triangles ABC and ADC have the shared segment AC between them. By the reflexive property AC = AC. Any segment is equal in length to itself. I'll call this "fact 2" later on.
Similar to fact 1, we have angle ACB = angle ACD. This is because AC bisects angle BCD into two smaller equal halves. I'll call this fact 3
----------------------
To summarize so far, we have these three facts
- angle CAB = angle CAD
- AC = AC
- angle ACB = angle ACD
in this exact order, we can use the ASA (angle side angle) congruence property to prove the two triangles are congruent. Facts 1 and 3 refer to the "A" parts of "ASA", while fact 2 refers to the "S" of "ASA". The order matters. Notice how the side is between the angles in question.
------------------------
Once we prove the triangles are congruent, we use CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) to conclude that AB = AD and BC = BD. These pair of sides correspond, so they must be congruent in order for the entire triangles to be congruent overall.
It's like saying you had 2 identical houses, so the front doors must be the same. The houses are the triangles (the larger structure) and the door is an analogy to the sides (which are pieces of the larger structure).
