An engineer is designing a new dam for a river. The retaining wall of the dam will be angled such that the height above the grou

nd of the top at the wall is three times the horizontal distance between where it begins and where it ends at ground level. The outer angled wall will be 100 feet long this relationship is shown in the picture along with the rest of the question.
A: x+y=100
y=3x

B: x^2 + y^2 = 100^2
y= 3x

C: x+y=100
x=3y

D: x^2 + y^2 = 100^2
x=3y

Answer:

B) x² + y² = 100²

   y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c²

c² in this case is 100, and a and b are x and y

The . vertical distance is three times the horizontal, or y = 3x

The correct option is x² + y² = 100², where y = 3x

Solve it please. Just wanted to check my drawing skill but please solve it​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that strange looking thing is a 9, so begin by multiplying both sides by that denominator to get:

x-9=\sqrt{x}+3 then subtract 3 from both sides to get

x-12=\sqrt{x} and then square both sides to get

x^2-24x+144=x and get everything on one side to solve for x by factoring:

x^2-25x+144=0 and factor that however it is you have learned to factor second-degree polynomials to get that

x = 16 and x = 9. We have to check for extraneous solutions because anytime you manipulate an equation, as we did by squaring both sides, you run the risk of these solutions that actually don't work when you plug them back into the original equation. Let's try 16 first:

\frac{16-9}{\sqrt{16}+3 }=1  If 16 is a solution, then this statement will be mathematically true.

\frac{7}{4+3}=1  and   \frac{7}{7}=1 so 16 works. Let's try 9:

\frac{9-9}{\sqrt{9}+3 }=1  We know that one doesn't work, because 9-9 = 0 and 0 over anything = 0, not 1.

x = 16 is the only solution.

What is the value of x?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior angles

6x+1 = 79+ 2x+10

Combine like terms

6x+1 = 2x+89

Subtract 2x from each side

4x+1 = 89

Subtract 1 from each side

4x = 88

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 88/4

x = 22

Expand the expression as a product of factors (x-t)3
Leya [2.2K]
(x-t)(x-t) = x^2 - 2xt + t^2
(x^2 - 2xt + t^2)(x - t) = x^3 - 2x^2t + xt^2 - xt^2 + 2xt^2 - t^3
=
x^3 - t^3 - 2x^2t + 2xt^2
