Answer:

a = 10; a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this equation

    1. Orignal eqaution: (a + 2)² + (a - 5)² = (a + 3)²

    2. Expand (a + 2)² + (a - 5)² which will give us 2a² - 6a + 29

    3. Expand (a + 3)² giving us a² + 6a + 9

    4. Simplified equation: 2a² - 6a + 29 = a² + 6a + 9

Step 2: Subtract 9 from both sides

    1. 2a² - 6a + 29 - 9 = a² + 6a + 9 - 9

    2. Simplify: 2a² - 6a + 20 = a² + 6a

Step 3: Subtract 6a from both sides

    1. 2a² - 6a + 20 - 6a = a² + 6a - 6a

    2. Simplify: 2a² -12a + 20 = a²

Step 4: Subtract a2 from both sides

    1. 2a² - 12a + 20 - a² = a² - a²

    2. Simplify: a² - 12a + 20 = 0

Step 5: Use the quadratic formula to solve for a

    1. Quadratic formula: a = -b += √b² - 4ac/2a

    2. Plug in the correct values: a = -(-12) += √(-12)² + 4(1)(20)/2(1)

    3. Simplify the numerator and denominator: 12 += 8/2

    4. Final equation: a = 12 - 8/2  or a = 12 + 8/2

    5. Hence, the answer is 10 or 2

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day and $12.50 an hour at night. If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours
Firdavs [7]

Answer

Find out the  which system of equations could be used to determine the number of hours charged at the day rate (d) and at the night rate (n) .

To proof

As given in the question

Let us assume that the number of hours charged at the day rate = d

Let us assume that the number of hours charged at the night rate = n

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day and $12.50 an hour at night. If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours of use.

Total working hour in a company including day and night be  12 hours .

than the equation become in the form

d + n = 12

also

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day

$12.50 an hour at night.

If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours of use.

than the equation becomes

25d + 12.50n = 250

than the two equation are

d + n = 12 , 25d + 12.50n = 250

multiply first by 25 and subtracted  from 25d + 12.50n = 250

25d - 25d + 12.50n - 25n = 250 - 300

12.5 n = 50

n = \frac{50}{12.5}

n = 4hours

put this in the d + n = 12

d + 4 =12

d = 12-4

d = 8 hours

Therefore the number of hours charged at the day rate  is 8 hours  and at the night rate is  4hours .

Hence proved

A train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill, and 2/3 feet as fast uphill as it can go on level ground. If it goes 12
Yuri [45]

Answer:

0.5hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed downhill be x,

Speed uphill is 0.5x. We are told than speed uphill is \frac{2}{3} the speed on flat ground. Therefore the speed on level ground will be \frac{0.5x}{2/3}=0.75x.

From this info, we can obtain the actual speed,v_g on level ground as:

x=120m/h\\0.75x=v_g\\\\\therefore v_g=\frac{0.75x \times 120m/h}{x}\\v_g=90m/h

speed, distance and time have the relation s=d/t so to obtain time to cover 45miles:

t=d/s\\=45/90\\=0.5h

Hence it takes 0.5hrs to cover 45miles on flat ground.
