Make the denominators all the same.

LCM (4;2) = 4

$\frac{1+3x}{4} = \frac{10}{4}$

Multiply both fractions for 4 to delete denominators

1+3x = 10

Move know terms to the right with changed sign

3x = 10-1

3x = 9

Since the x is multiplied for 3, divide both terms for 3

3x/3 = 9/3

x = 3

Given: ∆ABC, m∠C = 90° CB = 8, m∠B = 38º Find the area of a circumscribed circle. Find the area of the inscribed circle.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Circumscribed circle: Around 80.95

Inscribed circle: Around 3.298

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C is a right angle, when the circle is circumscribed it will be an inscribed angle with a corresponding arc length of 2*90=180 degrees. This means that AB is the diameter of the circle. Since the cosine of an angle in a right triangle is equivalent to the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse:

$\cos 38= \dfrac{8}{AB} \\\\\\AB=\dfrac{8}{\cos 38}\approx 10.152$

To find the area of the circumscribed circle:

$r=\dfrac{AB}{2}\approx 5.076 \\\\\\A=\pi r^2\approx 80.95$

To find the area of the inscribed circle, you need the length of AC, which you can find with the Pythagorean Theorem:

$AC=\sqrt{10.152^2-8^2}\approx 6.25$

The area of the triangle is:

$A=\dfrac{bh}{2}=\dfrac{8\cdot 6.25}{2}=25$

The semiperimeter of the triangle is:

$\dfrac{10.152+6.25+8}{2}\approx 24.4$

The radius of the circle is therefore $\dfrac{25}{24.4}\approx 1.025$

The area of the inscribed circle then is $\pi\cdot (1.025)^2\approx 3.298$ .

Hope this helps!

226Ra has a half-life of 1599 years. How much is left after 1000 years if the initial amount was 10 g?

Ray Of Light [21]

$\bf \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}\\\\
A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{initial amount}\to &10\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &1000\\
h=\textit{half-life}\to &1599
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=10\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{1000}{1599}}$
