3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6/100=3/y

Let y be the total number of items on the test

[cross multiply]

6×y =3×100

6y = 300

divide both sides by 6

y = 50

What is the solution of √x-5 = x-11

PIT_PIT [208]

Hey!

To solve x in this equation we must first add five to both sides to get $\sqrt{x}$ on its own.

Original Equation :
$\sqrt{x} - 5 = x - 11$

New Equation {Added 5 to Both Sides} :
$\sqrt{x} =x-6$

Now we must square both sides of the equation.

Old Equation :
$\sqrt{x} =x-6$

New Equation {Changed by Squaring Both Sides} :
$x= x^{2} -12x+36$

And now we must solve the new equation.

Step 1 - Switch sides
$x^{2} -12x+36=x$

Step 2 - Subtract x from both sides
$x^{2} -12x+36-x=x-x$

Step 3 - Simplify
$x^{2} -13x+36=0$

Now we need to solve the rest of the equation using the quadratic formula.

$\frac{-(-13)+ \sqrt{(-13) ^{2}-4*1*36 } }{2*1}$

${13+ \sqrt{(-13)^{2}-4*1*36 }=13+ \sqrt{25}$

$\frac{13+ \sqrt{25}}{2}$

$\sqrt{25}=5$

$\frac{13+5}{2}$

$\frac{18}{2}$

9

$\frac{-(-13)- \sqrt{(-13) ^{2} -4*1*36} }{2*1}$

4

So, this means that in the equation $\sqrt{x} -5=x-11$ , x = 9 and x = 4.

Hope this helps!

Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle inscribed in a circle. The center of the circle is point D and the diameter of the c

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

* AD is congruent to DC and BD true

* m∠B = 90° true

* The measure of arc AC is equal to the measure of arc AB not be true ( The right answer )

* The measure of arc AB is equal to measure of arc BC true

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ D is the center of the circle and A , B and C are points on the circle

∴ AD , DB and DC are radii on the circle D

∴ AD ≡ DC ≡ DB

∵ AC passing through point D which is the center of the circle

∴ AC is the diameter of the circle D

∵ ∠B is opposite to the diameter of the circle and vertex B lies on the circle

∵ ∠B is an inscribed angle and ∠ADC is a central angle subtended by the same arc AC

∴m∠B = half m∠ADC

∵ m∠ADC = 180°

∴ m∠B = 90°

∵ The measure of arc AC = 180°

∵ ΔABC is isosceles and m∠B = 90°

∴ m∠BAC = m∠BCA = (180° - 90°) ÷ 2 = 45°

∵ ∠ACB is an inscribed angle subtended by arc AB

∴ m∠ACB = half measure of arc AB

∵ The measure of arc AB = 45° × 2 = 90°

∴ The measure of arc AC ≠ the measure of arc AB

∵ Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle and m∠B = 90°

∴ AB = BC

∵ AB subtended by arc AB

∵ BC subtended by arc BC

∴ The length of arc AB = the length of arc BC

∵ If two arcs are equal in length, then they will be equal in measure

∴ The measure of arc AB is equal to the measure of arc BC
