Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)

Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)


Let's solve  1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)

 ==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy

But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50

Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and 
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5

You are supposed to answer where the function, h(x), is decreasing. In other words, where is “y” decreasing.

In this graph, I believe it would be from (-3,4)U(8,infinity). I hope this helps.

Triangle ABC has side lengths: V6, V2, and 2/2 units.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

90°, 60°, and 30°

60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC has side lengths √6, √2, and 2√2 units.

It is clear that the triangle ABC is right triangle because (2√2)² = (√6)² + (√2)² that means the side lengths satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem.

Now, if the angle between hypotenuse (2√2 units) and base (√2 units) is \theta, then

\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2\sqrt{2} }  = \frac{1}{2}

Hence, \theta = 60°

Therefore, the three angles of the triangle are 90°, 60°, and 30°.

Now, if the base of the triangle is 16 units, then other two side lengths will also change proportionally to remain the triangle a right triangle.

And in that case the base angle will remain 60°. (Answer)

natka813 [3]
Alrighty, what I was always taught was to start by writing out what you know from the question.

What I know:
-Tom is paid $0.23 for every page of proofs.
-He proofreads 1,992 pages.

In order to figure out how much money Tom has made, we need to multiply 0.23 by 1,992. Multiplying allows us to see the total amount of money made by proofreading x amount of pages - for every page he proofreads, he makes $0.23.
0.23×1992=458.16

Therefore, Tom made $458.16.

Hope this helps!

Divide 1/2 by 1/8 by doing Keep change flip. 1/2 divided by 1/8 turns to 1/2 x 8/1 =9/2 and then divide 9/2 like this 9 divided by 2= 2 1/2
