Answer:
x = 2root(22)
see image.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle shown is one big triangle cut into two more smaller triangles: one medium-sized and one smaller.
ALL THREE TRIANGLES ARE SIMILAR BY AA.
Set the two smaller triangles up so you can see the corresponding sides. x is the short leg in one triangle and it is the long leg in the smallest triangle. Set up a proportion.
22/x = x/4
crossmultiply
x^2 = 22•4
x^2 = 88
square root both sides.
x = sqroot(88)
x = 2sqroot(22)
see image.
Answer:
f(x) = 2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently the ordered pairs are ...
(x, f(x)) = (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 9)
We note that as x increases by 1, the value of f(x) increases by 2. The difference between f(x) and 2x is 3-2·1 = 1, so we have ...
f(x) -2x = 1
f(x) = 2x +1 . . . . . . add 2x
