B 15 C А. Find the length of "a"using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length <em>a</em>.

<u>Step 2: Define</u>

hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 15

leg <em>b</em> = 9

leg <em>a</em> = ?

<u>Step 3: Find missing length </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables:                    a² + 9² = 15²
  2. Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                  a² = 15² - 9²
  3. Exponents:                                       a² = 225 - 81
  4. Subtract:                                           a² = 144
  5. Isolate <em>a</em>:                                           a = ±12

Since we are not dealing with a quadrant triangle, we can disregard the negative root of the quadratic.

∴ <em>a</em> = 12 is our final answer.

Write the equation of the function of a parabola with vertex at (–1,–2) and a point (1,–6) that lies on the curve.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

f(x) = -(x + 1)² - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

-6 = a(1 - -1)² + -2

-6 = a(4) -2

-4 = 4a

a = -1

f(x) = -(x + 1)² - 2

Dont know how to calculate it
TEA [102]

Answer:

AB = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠ A and ∠ B  are equal then Δ ABC is isosceles with 2 congruent legs.

AC = BC , substitute values

6x - 7 = 5x + 7 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x - 7 = 7 ( add 7 to both sides )

x = 14

Then

AB = 7x + 7 = 7(14) + 7 = 98 + 7 = 105

Jason’s savings account has a balance of $2179. After 5 years , what will the amount of interest be at 6% compounded quarterly?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$755.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the compound amount first and then subtract the principal from it, to find the amount of interest.

The compound amount formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt), where

P is the initial principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods per year, and t is the number of years.  Here, P = $2179; t = 5 yrs; r = 0.06; and n = 4 (quarterly compounding).

We get:

A = $2179(1 + 0.06/4)^(4*5), or $2179(1.015)^20, or $2179(1.347) = $2937.80.

The compound amount is $2934.80.  Subtracting the $2179 principal results in the interest earned:  $755.80.
