Is this relation a function (1,3) (1, 20) (9, 4)

The sides of a triangle have lengths of x, x + 5, and 25. If the longest side is 25, which of the following values of x would ma

Amiraneli [1.4K]

In a right angle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Here, the longest side is 25, the shorter sides are x and x+5.

$x^2+(x+5)^2=25^2 \\
x^2+x^2+10x+25=625 \\
2x^2+10x+25=625 \ \ \ |-625 \\
2x^2+10x-600=0 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x^2+5x-300=0 \\
x^2+20x-15x-300=0 \\
x(x+20)-15(x+20)=0 \\
(x-15)(x+20)=0 \\
x-15=0 \ \lor \ x+20=0 \\
x=15 \ \lor \ x=-20
$

The length of a side must be a positive number, so x=15.
The answer is C.

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered around (2, 2). Which statement is true about the dilation?

arsen [322]

Answer:

Option (B) is true i.e segment B'D' will run through (2,2) and will be longer than the segment BD.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the assumption quadrilateral ABCD is shown in figure a.

First located the center of the dilation which is located at (2,2) as shown in figure b.

The next thing we want to do is to determine the distance of the center of dilation to each of the points of quadrilateral ABCD as shown in figure b.

Let’s just start with the distance from the center to the point A, but notice we don’t have to move up and down in y direction. So, what we have to do is to increase this by the factor 2. Because this horizontal distance is 1 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point A, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a distance of 2 and this point right here will be the new location of point A’ (0,2).

And the distance from the center to the point C is the horizontal distance of 2 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point C, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a distance of 4 and this point right here will be the new location of point C’ (6,2).

And the distance from the center to the point B is the upward vertical distance of 1 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point B, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a vertical distance of 2 and this point right here will be the location of point B’ (2,4).

And similarly the distance from the center to the point D is the downward vertical distance of 1 i.e. the distance from dilation center (2,2) to point D, we just have to multiply by 2 which would be a vertical distance of 2 and this point right here will be the location of point D’ (2,0).

So, Quadrilateral A'B'C'D' is dilated by a scale factor of 2 centered around (2, 2).

Just notice in figure b that the segment B'D' will run through (2,2) and will be longer than the segment BD.

So,option (B) is true i.e segment B'D' will run through (2,2) and will be longer than the segment BD.

In a certain year, there were 92 female officials in Congress, which is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate

crimeas [40]

Answer:

There are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h equal the amount of female members of the House of Representatives and s equal the amount of female members in the Senate.

Since the amount of female officials in Congress is 92, and is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, we can represent this as the equation h+s=92

Since there are 64 more female members in the House of Representatives than female Senators, the senators would need 64 more female members to have the same amount as the House of Representatives. We can represent this as h=s+64.

Substituting, we get s+64+s=92, which simplifies to 2s+64=92. Subtracting 64 from both sides, we get 2s=28, which equals to s=14. There are 14 female senators. Substituting back into h+s=92, 14+s=92, and s=78. Therefore, there are 78 female members of the House of Representatives and 14 female members of the Senate.
