Answer:

2 sqrt(5) OR 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to know Pythagorean theorem to solve this question.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

To use this theorem you have to have a right triangle. There are two right triangles in your image. The lower (larger) one has two sides labeled, so you can use Pythagorean thm to find the third side. There's a short cut, bc some right triangles have easy-to-memorize lengths of the sides. 3-4-5 is one of these number sets. A multiple of this is 6-8-10. We could've solved:

b^2 + 8^2 = 10^2

But it would've come out the same. The unlabeled side is 6.

We can use the 6 and the 4 on the smaller right triangle and use the Pythagorean thm again to solve for x.

4^2 + x^2 = 6^2

16 + x^2 = 36 subtract 16 from both sides.

x^2 = 20

Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt (x^2) = sqrt 20

x = 2 sqrt(5) which is approximately 4.472.

2 sqrt(5) is an exact answer if that is what they are asking for. 4.472 is an approximation to the nearest thousandth. It would be 4.47 to the nearest hundredth or 4.5 to the nearest tenth.

5x3 + 14x2 + 9x <br> help

Cerrena [4.2K]

<h3>Answer: x(x+1)(5x+9) </h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

5x^3 + 14x^2 + 9x

x( 5x^2 + 14x + 9 )

To factor 5x^2 + 14x + 9, we could use the AC method and guess and check our way to getting the correct result.

A better way in my opinion is to solve 5x^2 + 14x + 9 = 0 through the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(14)\pm\sqrt{(14)^2-4(5)(9)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{-14\pm\sqrt{16}}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-14\pm4}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-14+4}{10} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-14-4}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-10}{10} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-18}{10}\\\\x = -1 \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-9}{5}\\\\$

Then use those two solutions to find the factorization

x = -1 or x = -9/5

x+1 = 0 or 5x = -9

x+1 = 0 or 5x+9 = 0

(x+1)(5x+9) = 0

So we have shown that 5x^2 + 14x + 9 factors to (x+1)(5x+9)

-----------

Overall,

5x^3 + 14x^2 + 9x

factors to

x(x+1)(5x+9)

Answer:

<em>The function is : $y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, after $x$ years, the number of participants in the town's soccer program is $y_{1}$ and in the town's street hockey program is $y_{2}$

This year, there are 120 children participating in each program.

The number of participants in the town's soccer program increases by 10% each year.

Using the exponential growth formula, <u>the number of participants in the town's soccer program after $x$ years will be</u>.....

$y_{1}=120(1+0.10)^x\\ \\ y_{1}=120(1.10)^x$

The number of participants in the town's street hockey program increases by 10 children each year.

So, the number of increased participants in $x$ years $=10x$

Thus, <u>the number of participants in the town's street hockey program after $x$ years will be</u>.....

$y_{2}=120+10x$

If the total number of children participating in the two programs is represented as $y$ , then.....

$y= y_{1}+y_{2}\\ \\ y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$

So, the function that can be used to predict the total number of children participating in the town's soccer and street hockey programs in x years will be: $y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$
