I believe that x and y are == given that both sides are 24:24

so we know a triangle must add up to 180 degrees

just do 180-46 = 134

134/2=67

x=y=67

Answer:

x = 67

y = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles with similar opposite side lengths are congruent. Both angle x and y have opposite side lengths with a length of 24, hence x = y.

Angles in a triangle add up to equal 180°. ( x + y is the same as 2x or 2y because x = y. This makes it easier to create an equation in which we can solve for. )

Because angles in a triangle add up to equal 180° x + y + 46 should equal 180

This equation can also be written as 2x + 46 = 180

We can then solve for x

2x + 46 = 180

subtract 46 from both sides

2x = 134

divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = x

134 / 2 = 67

we're left with x = 67

because x = y, y also equals 67

X2 - 25 = 0

Add 25 on each side.

x2 = 25

Divide by 2 on each side.

Brian correctly use a method of completing the square to solve the equation X a 2nd plus 7X -11 equals zero Brian‘s first step w

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$(\frac{7}{2})^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Brain correctly use a method of completing the square to solve the equation:

$x^2+7x-11=0$

His First Step is to: Take the Constant Term to the Right Hand Side

$x^2+7x=11$

The Next Step Would be to:

Divide the Coefficient of x by 2
Square It
Add it to both Sides

In this case, the Coefficient of x = 7

Divided by 2 = $\frac{7}{2}$

Squaring It, we have: $(\frac{7}{2})^{2}$

It is this number $(\frac{7}{2})^{2}$ that is added to both sides in the manner below:

$x^2+7x+(\frac{7}{2})^{2}=11+(\frac{7}{2})^{2}$

Find the directional derivative of the function at the given point in the direction of the vector v. f(x, y, z) = xyz , (3, 3, 9

Anna [14]

The derivative of $f(x,y,z)$ in the direction of a vector $\mathbf u$ is

$\nabla_{\mathbf u}f=\nabla f\cdot\dfrac{\mathbf u}{\|\mathbf u\|}$

With $f(x,y,z)=xyz$ , we get

$\nabla f=(yz,xz,xy)$

and $\mathbf u=(-1,-2,2)$ ,

$\|\mathbf u\|=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-2)^2+2^2}=3$

Then

$\nabla_{(-1,-2,2)}f(3,3,9)=(27,27,9)\cdot\dfrac{(-1,-2,2)}3=-21$
