Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$sin\theta =\frac{5}{13}\\ \\ \theta =sin^{-1}\frac{5}{13}\\ \\ \theta =22.62^o\\ \\ \\ a=90-22.62\\ \\ a=67.38^o\\ \\ \\ 13^2=5^2+x^2\\ \\ x^2=169-25\\ \\ x^2=144\\ \\ x=\sqrt{144}\\ \\ x=12$

A pet store sells goldfish and hermit crabs,

Elis [28]

Answer:

$Cost = \$28$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Goldfish with g and hermit crabs with h.

The first statement, we have:

$7g + 3h = 26$

The second statement, we have:

$4g + 5h = 28$

Required

Determine the selling price of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs

The equations are:

$7g + 3h = 26$ --- (1)

$4g + 5h = 28$ --- (2)

Make g the subject in (2)

$4g + 5h = 28$

$4g = 28 - 5h$

Divide both sides by 4

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

Substitute $\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$ for g in (1)

$7g + 3h = 26$

$7(\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)) + 3h = 26$

$\frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 3h = 26$

Multiply through by 4

$4 * \frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

$7(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

Open bracket

$196 - 35h + 12h = 104$

$196 -23h = 104$

Collect Like Terms

$-23h = 104-196$

$-23h = -92$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{-92}{-23}$

$h = \frac{92}{23}$

$h = 4$

Substitute 4 for h in $g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5*4)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 20)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(8)$

$g = 2$

This implies that:

1 goldfish = $2

1 hermit crab = $4

The cost of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs is:

$Cost = 6g + 4h$

$Cost = 6*\$2 + 4*\$4$

$Cost = \$12 + \$16$

$Cost = \$28$

Plz help I have no idea how to answer it

saveliy_v [14]

5. Answer: see explanation

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If the roots are m and 3m, then x = m and x = 3m

⇒ x - m = 0 and x - 3m = 0

⇒ (x - m)(x - 3m) = 0

⇒ x² - 4mx + 3m² = 0

Since x² + px + q = 0 then p = -4m and q = 3m²

3p² = 3(-4m)² 16q = 16(3m²)

= 3(16m²) = 48m²

= 48m²

3p² = 48m² = 16q ⇒ 3p² = 16q

6. Answer: 8 or 18

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The Area of the entire rectangle (A = L × w) is 12 × 10 = 120

The Area of the shaded region is 72, so the Area of the non-shaded region is 120 - 72 = 48.

There are two non-shaded triangles.

Bigger non-shaded Δ: L = 12-x, w = 10 ⇒ $A = \dfrac{10(12-x)}{2}$
Smaller non-shaded Δ: L = x, w = x ⇒ $A=\dfrac{x(x)}{2}$

Combine the Areas of both triangles and set it equal to the Area of the non-shaded region:

$\dfrac{x(x)}{2}+\dfrac{10(12-x)}{2}=48\\\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{120-10x}{2}=48\\\\\\\dfrac{x^2-10x+120}{2}=48\\\\\\x^2-10x+120=96\\\\x^2-10x+24=0\\\\(x-4)(x-6)=0\\\\x - 4 = 0\quad or\quad x-6=0\\x=4\qquad or\qquad x=6\\\\\text{Based on the image provided, it appears that the x-value will be the}\\\text{smallest of the two possible solutions (4), but both solutions are valid.}$

Area of ΔBEF:

$\text{when x = 4, A =}\ \dfrac{4(4)}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\\\\\\\text{when x = 6, A =}\ \dfrac{6(6)}{2}=\dfrac{36}{2}=18$
