Answer:
B) 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the first figure is 10x
The area of the second figure is 6(x+3)=6x+18
To solve, find the x that makes 10x=6x+18
1) 10x=6x+18
2) 4x=18
3) x=4.5
To check work)
1) 10(4.5)=6(4.5)+18
2) 45=27+18
3) 45=45
First, find the area of the shelf if it were a full circle.
the formula for the area of a circle is a=pi(r squared)
a=pi (10.5 squared)
a=pi x 110.25
a=3.14 x 110.25
a=346.185
now, you have to divide that area by 4 to get the area of the 1/4 circle
346.185/4=86.55
We can let
a = 1/(x-1)
b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
2a - b = 10
a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
a + 3(2a -10) = -9
7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
a = 3
b = 2·3 - 10 = -4
Now, we can find x and y.
3 = 1/(x -1)
x - 1 = 1/3
x = 1 1/3 = 4/3
-4 = 1/(y +2)
y +2 = -1/4
y = -2 1/4 = -9/4
Then the desired sum is
x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
x + y = -11/12
The appropriate choice is ..
c. -11/12
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. f(x) basically means y. So f(x) = 3 translates to y=3.
2. At y=3, you can see it meets at x=2.
If we write
where we see
in the equation and set the result equal to
, we get the result.
