Isosceles trapezoid ABCD has legs AB and CD, and base BC. If AB = 3y - 4, BC = 2y -3, and CD = 4y - 18, find the value of y.

Mathematics

Answer:

   (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles trapezoid the length of the two legs (i.e.  AB = 5y-10 and CD = 2y+8) are equal.  In other words,

5y - 10 = 2 y + 8

Subtract 2y from each side:

5y - 2y - 10 = 8

Now add 10 to each side

5y - 2y - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10 =>

3y + 0 = 18 =>  

3y = 18 =>

y = 6

<span>A golf ball can travel 170 mph. This is 10/7 times the fastest speed recorded for a hockey puck. What is the record speed for a hockey puck? Make an equation and solve.

</span>The speed of hockey puck = x 

<span>(10/7)x = 170 </span>
<span>10x = 1190 </span>

For which of the following situations would a linear function be a reasonable choice for a mathematical model?
Airida [17]
The third option is the best fit for the application of a linear model.

In the first option, there is likely to be a correlation but it cannot be a linear one as goals are missed even from inside the keeper's box.

In the second option, it is safe to assume that each person will at least 2 other so this will follow an exponential model.

In the third option, the stopping distance is given by the equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2 x at²
And this shows that the distance varies linearly with speed.

What is a system of equations for the following situation? There is a total of 40 questions on a test. Some questions are multip
Elden [556K]

First we define the variables:

m = multiple choice questions

s = short answer questions

Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:

1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:

m+s=40

2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:

2m+4s=100

By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!

m+s=40

2m+4s=100
