Answer:

  in the order (5m, 3m, 2m+2), ...

  • 5, 3, 4
  • (2+√34)/3, (2+√34)/5, (34+2√34)/15 ≈ (2.6103, 1.5662, 3.0441)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible solutions:

<u>5m is the hypotenuse</u>

  (5m)² = (3m)² +(2m+2)²

  25m² = 9m² +4m² +8m +4

  3m² -2m -1 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . write in standard form, divide by 4

  (m -1)(3m +1) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

The positive solution for m is the value that makes m-1=0. It is m=1.

The side lengths are ...

  5m = 5 . . . hypotenuse

  3m = 3

  2m+2 = 4

__

<u>2m+2 is the hypotenuse</u>

  (2m+2)² = (5m)² +(3m)²

  15m² -4m -2 = 0 . . . . . . . write in standard form, divide by 2

Then the solutions using the quadratic formula are ...

  m = (-(-4) ± √((-4)² -4(15)(-2)))/(2(15)) = (4 ± √136)/30 = (2±√34)/15

The positive solution for m is ...

  m = (2+√34)/15 ≈ 0.522063

Then the side lengths of the triangle are ...

  (2m +2) = (34 +2√34)/15 ≈ 3.0441 . . . hypotenuse

  5m = (2 +√34)/3 ≈ 2.6103

  3m = (2 +√34)/5 ≈ 1.5662

Answer:

E=5(m+c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Bryan earns $5 for every lawn mowed, the equation right now is 5m. We have to add the $5 for the cars washed, 5c.

  1. 5m+5c
  2. That can be factored, 5(m+c)

The Rangers won five of the first six games. how many of the next 30 games must the rangers wins have twice as many wins as loss
barxatty [35]

Using proportions, it is found that they must win 19 of their next 30 games.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

We want a win-to-loss proportion of 2:1, which is equivalent to a win-to-total proportion of 2:3. We have that:

  • The team will have won 5 + x games.
  • The team will have played 36 games.

Hence:

\frac{5 + x}{36} = \frac{2}{3}

3(5 + x) = 72

15 + 3x = 72

3x = 57

x = 19.

The Rangers must win 19 of their next 30 games.

Alec starts up a monthly subscription potato box. It costs 18.20 dollars per month,
denis-greek [22]

A. The formula (mathematical function) for the monthly revenue, R, earned by Alec, R(s, n) = <u>$18.20s + $5n</u>.

B.  Using the formula above, the value of R(10, 3) is $197.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function is an expression, rule, or law defining the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

Functions are used to define physical relationships between variables.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Cost monthly subscription = $28.20 per box

Number of normal potatoes in each box = 16

Cost of additional luxury potatoes = $5 per potato

If the monthly revenue function, R, is given as R(s, n) where:

s = number of monthly subscribers

n = total number of luxury potatoes ordered

The monthly revenue, R, earned by Alec, R(s, n) = <u>$18.20s + $5n</u>.

The value of R(10, 3) is $197 ($18.20 x 10 + $5 x 3)

Thus, using the formula above, the value of R(10, 3) is $197.
