The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 55, 55 and 70.

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and a vertex angle.

Let b =the measure of one of the base angles.

Let v = the measure of the the vertex angle.

The vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of the base angles.

v = b + b − 40 = 2 b − 40

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.

b + b + v = 180

Substitute 2 b − 40 for v .

b + b + 2 b − 40 = 180

4 b − 40 = 180

+40+40

Combine like terms.

Add 40 to both sides.

4b=220

Divide by 4

4 b/4 = 220 /4

b = 55

v = 2 b − 40

v = 2 ( 55 ) − 40 = 70

Use inductive reasoning to find the next term in this sequence 2,3,5,9,17. Then explain the rule for the pattern.
NISA [10]

We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.

We can write the terms of this sequence as

2=2^0+1\\
3=2^1+1\\
5=2^2+1\\
9=2^3+1\\
17=2^4+1\\

From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .

For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .

For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .

Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .

Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by

2^5+1\\
=32+1\\
=33

Therefore, the next term is 33.

Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

a_n=2^{n-1}+1

What is the numerator of the fraction equivalent to 3\5 that has a denominator of 30
aliya0001 [1]
Well, the numerator is the number on top, so in the fraction 3/5, 3 is the numerator. To find the equation with a denominator of 30 that is equivalent, find what the difference is. 30/5 = 6. So now, multiply the numerator by 6. 6 * 3 = 18. The new fraction is 18/30. The numerator is 18. Hope this helps!

(x) = 3x + 5?<br> domain and range
kherson [118]

Answer:

Domain is the values that x can take. In terms of real numbers x can take any value and the function will make sense. Since this is linear function the range is not limited too. So the range and domain coincide and are (-infinity;infinity)
