Answer:

a ≈ 8.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

a² + 5² = 10²

a² + 25 = 100 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

a² = 75 ( take square root of both sides )

a = $\sqrt{75}$ ≈ 8.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 40 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for 'a' using Pythagoras theorem. Let's solve it.

10² = 5² + a²
=> 100 = 25 + a²
=> a² = 75
=> a = 8.660
=> a = 8.7

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is 8.7 m.

When will the equation p(b)=520(0.88)^b have a value less than 100?

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The given equation will have value less than 100 whenever the value of b is greater than 12.89

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given equation, p(b) = 520 × $0.88^{b}$ to have a value less than 100 we can establish inequality as:

p(b) < 100

or, 520 × $0.88^{b}$ < 100

or, $\frac{520}{520}$ × $0.88^{b}$ < $\frac{100}{520}$

or, $0.88^{b}$ < $\frac{1}{5.2}$

or, ㏒ ( $0.88^{b}$ ) < ㏒ ( $\frac{1}{5.2}$ )

or, b× ㏒ 0.88 < ㏒ ( $\frac{1}{5.2}$ )

or, $\frac{log (\frac{1}{5.2}) }{log (0.88)}$ < b

or, 12.89 < b

Hence for the equation to have value less than 100, b must be greater than 12.89.
