Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The inscribed angle (5x - 3) is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc
5x - 3 = 0.5(9x + 1) ← multiply both sides by 2
10x - 6 = 9x + 1 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
x - 6 = 1 ( add 6 to both sides )
x = 7
This breaks into two inequalities:
2x - 3 > 6
and
-2x + 3 > 6
------------------------
2x - 3 > 6
Add 3 to both sides:
2x > 9
Divide 2 to both sides:
x > 4.5
-----------------------
-2x + 3 > 6
Subtract 3 to both sides:
-2x > 3
Divide -2 to both sides:
x < -1.5
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Pythagorean triple the square on the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
A
longest side = 10 ⇒ 10² = 100
6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100
A is a Pythagorean triple
B
longest side = 17 ⇒ 17² = 289
8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289
B is a Pythagorean triple
C
longest side = 9 ⇒ 9² = 81
5² + 8² = 25 + 64 = 89
89 ≠ 81
C is not a Pythagorean triple
D
longest side = 13 ⇒ 13² = 169
5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169
D is a Pythagorean triple
Call the smaller of the two odds = n
Call the next number in the sequence = n + 2
n*(n +2) = 782 Remove the brackets.
n^2 + 2n = 782 Subract 782 from both sides.
n^2 + 2n - 782 = 0 We are going to have to factor this.
Discussion
This problem can't be done the way it is written. The product of an odd integer with another odd integer is and odd integer. There are no exceptions to this. So you need to give a number that has two factors very near it's square root for this question to work.
For example, you could use 783, (which factors) instead of 782 .
Solve
n^2 + 2n - 783 = 0
(n + 29)(x - 27) = 0
<u>Solution One</u>
n - 27 = 0
n = 27
The two odd consecutive integers are 27 and 29.
<u>Solution Two</u>
n + 29 = 0
n = - 29
The two solution integers are -29 and - 27 Notice that - 29 is smaller than - 27.
