Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find an approximate value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
kozerog [31]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse² =base² + altitude²

(3x + 4)² = (2x + 1)² + (3x)²

{Use (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}

(3x)² + 2*3x+4 + 4² = (2x)² + 2*2x*1 + 1² + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 4x² + 4x + 1 + 9x²

9x² + 24x + 16 = 13x² + 4x + 1

0 = 13x² + 4x  + 1 - 9x²  - 24x - 16

13x² - 9x² + 4x - 24x +1 - 16 = 0

4x² - 20x - 15 = 0

a = 4 ; b =-20  ; c = -15

D = b² - 4ac  = (-20)² - 4*4*(-15) = 400 + 240 = 640

√D = √640 = 25.30

x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{20+25.30}{2*4} \ ; \ x=\dfrac{20-25.30}{2*4}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{45.30}{8} \ ; \  x =\dfrac{-5.30}{8}\\\\

x = 5 .66   ; x = -0.66

Ignore x = -0.66 as length of a side cannot be negative

Answer : x = 5.66

Jennifer began an exercise program in which she ran 4 blocks the first day and then two blocks more than the previous day for ea
Andrews [41]

Answer:

84 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are adding 2 to each day (which already has 4) in a 2 week period (14 days) than you would have to time 2(14) and 4(14) and add them. Thus would make the answer 84 blocks.

A wheel initially has an angular velocity of 18 rad/s, but it is slowing at a constant rate of 2 rad/s 2 . By the time it stops,
Kaylis [27]

Answer:13 revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  data

Wheel initial angular velocity\left ( \omega \right )=18 rad/s

Contant angular deaaceleration\left ( \alpha \right )=2rad/s^2

Time required to stop wheel completely=t sec

\omega =\omega_0 + \aplha t

0 =18 +\left ( -2\right )t

t=9 sec

Therefore angle turn in 9 sec

\theta=\omega_{0} t+\frac{1}{2}\left ( \alpha\right )t^{2}

\theta=18\times 9+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -2\right )\left ( 9\right )^2

\theta=81rad

therefore no of turns(n) =\frac{81}{2\times \pi}

n=12.889\approx13 revolution

The height of a ball in meters is modeled by f(x) equals negative 5X squared +50 X where X is the time in seconds after it is hi
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the zeros by equating f(x) to zero, that is

- 5x² + 50x = 0 ← factor out - 5x from each term

- 5x(x - 10) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

- 5x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 10 = 0 ⇒ x = 10

x = 0 denotes the time when the ball is struck and x = 10 when the ball returns to the ground.

Time in air = 10 - 0 = 10 seconds
