Answer:
Pythagorean Theorem Statement is below.
Therefore the value of x is 9 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Label the vertices as A , B , C shown in figure below such that
∠A = 90°
AC = Longer leg = 12 m
AB = Shorter leg = x
BC = Hypotenuse = 15 m
To Find:
x = ?
Solution:
Pythagorean Theorem :
Pythagorean Theorem States that "the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides".
Which can be Written as
OR
i.e 
Substituting the values AB ,AC, BC we get
Therefore the value of x is 9 m.
Q1)
the sequence should start with 10, after that each term is calculated by subtracting 3 from the previous term.
1st term - 10
2nd term - 10 - 3 = 7
3rd term - 7 - 3 = 4
4th term - 4 - 3 = 1
5th term - 1 - 3 = -2
6th term - -2 - 3 = -5
7th term - -5 - 3 = -8
8th - -8 - 3 = -11
9th - -11 - 3 = -14
10th -14 - 3 = -17
the sequence is - 10,7,4,1,-2,-5,-8,-11,-14,-17
Q2)
<span>the sequence whose nth term is the sum of the first n positive integers
In this we get the term by adding all the integers of the terms before that term
1st term - n = 1 no terms before this , therefore 0 + n(1) = 1
2nd term -n =2 sum of integers before - 1 + n( 2) = 3
3rd - 3+3 = 6
4th - 6+4 = 10
5th - 10 + 5 = 15
6th - 15 + 6 = 21
7th - 21 + 7 = 28
8th - 28 + 8 = 36
9th - 36 + 9 = 45
10th - 45 + 10 = 55
this is a triangular number pattern
this number pattern can be found out using ; n = (n x (n+1))/2
sequence is - 1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36,45,55
Q3)
</span>the sequence whose nth term is 3n − 2n
general term for this sequence is 3n − 2n
to find 1st term , n = 1
substituting n = 1 in the general term
1st term - 3x1 - 2x1 = 3-2 = 1
2nd - 3x2- 2x2 = 6 - 4 = 2
3rd - 3x3 - 2x3 = 9-6 = 3
4th - 3x4 - 2x4 = 12 - 8 = 4
5th - 3x5 - 2x5 = 15 - 10 = 5
6th - 3x6 - 2x6 = 18 - 12 = 6
7th - 3x7 - 2x7 = 21 - 14 = 7
8th - 3 x8 - 2x8 = 24 - 16 = 8
9th - 3x9 - 2x9 = 27 - 18 = 9
10th - 3x10 - 2x10 = 30-20 = 10
sequence is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Q4)
<span>the sequence whose nth term is √ n
when n=1 1st term is </span>√1 = 1
1st term - √1 = 1
2nd term - √2 = 1.41
3rd - √3 = 1.73
4th - √4 = 2
5th - √5 = 2.23
6th- √6 = 2.44
7th - √7 = 2.65
8th- √8 = 2.82
9th - √9 = 3
10th - √10 = 3.16
The sequence is 1, 1.41, 1.73, 2, 2.23, 2.44, 2.65, 2.82, 3, 3.16
Q5)T<span>he sequence whose first two terms are 1 and 5 and each succeeding term is the sum of the two previous terms
</span>1st term - 1
2nd term - 5
3rd term - add 1st and 2nd term (1+5) = 6
4th term - add 2nd and 3rd terms (5+6) = 11
5th - add 3rd and 4th (6+11) = 17
6th - (11+17) = 28
7th - (17 + 28) = 45
8th - 45 + 28 = 73
9th - 73 + 45 = 118
10th - 73+ 118 = 191
sequence is - 1,5,6,11,17,28,45,73,118,191
Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± 
( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ± 
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
