For which value(s) of x are the triangles congruent?​

Mathematics

Varvara68 [4.7K]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions are 2 and 5

Because it's asking what would make the triangles congruent, you would set up the equation like this because the angles (angle 3 and angle 4) need to be equal:

x^2 = 7x - 10

Next, you add 10 to both sides. This is so that you can move it to the other side, addition is the inverse of subtraction.

x^2 + 10 = 7x

Now subtract 7x from both sides. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. You do this to get it on the other side so you can factor it. You can move the 10 and 7x to the other side in any order or at the same time, I just did it like this.

x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0

Now, factor. I don't really know how to explain factoring, you just get a feel for it with a lot of practice.

(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0

You can use FOIL to check this if you want to. x(x) is x^2, -2(-5) is 10), -2x - -5x is -7x. Now, find what you need to do to make what's in each of the groups of parentheses equal to 0.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

One of the solutions is 2, because you add 2 to x to get 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The other solution is 5, because you add 5 to x to get 0. Lastly, check your solutions by plugging them in to the original equation.

2^2 = 7(2) - 10

4 = 14 - 10

So 2 is definitely a solution.

5^2 = 7(5) - 10

25 = 35 - 10

5 is also a solution.

Hope that helps :]

Compute 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, and 48. Make a conjecture about the units digit of 4n where n is a positive integer. Use str
padilas [110]

Answer:

The conjecture is that the unit digit of 4^n = 4 when n = odd also 4^n = 6 when n = even

Step-by-step explanation:

4^1 = 4\\4^2 = 16\\4^3 = 64\\4^4 = 256 \\4^5 = 1024\\4^6 = 4096\\4^7 = 16384\\4^8 = 65536

The conjecture is that the unit digit of 4^n = 4 when n = odd also 4^n = 6 when n = even

To prove this conjecture

4^1 = 4\\4^2 = 16 unit digit = 6

hence the property is true for ; n = 1 and n = 2 and also for every odd and even number ( i.e. from 1  to 8 )

What is 6y - 12 = -3x in standard form?
lakkis [162]
To get it into standard you need to simplify
6y - 12 = -3x add 12 to both sides
6y = -3x + 12 add 3x to both sides
3x + 6y = 12
And that is in standard which is A + B = C

A basketball team played 15 games and won 80% of them. If the team expects to play 30 games in all, how many more games must it
emmainna [20.7K]
So 80% of 15 games won equal 12 games won and 3 lost. This is because 15/10 = 1.5 and 1.5 x 8 =12.
For 30, you do the exact same thing but with 90% instead. 30/10 = 3. 3 x 9 = 27.
So they need to have won 27 games to get a 90% winning percentage out of 30 games.
But since the question asks how many MORE games they need to play, it'll be 27-12 = 15.
So they need to win 15 more games to get a 90% winning percentage

Find the circumference of each circle. Use 3.14 for the value of π . Round answer to the nearest tenth.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

C=9.4\pi meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall to find the circumference of a circle the formula is C=\pi d or C=2\pi r.

We start by substituting 4.7m for r in the second circumference formula.

C=2\pi r\\C=2\pi (4.7)\\C=9.4\pi. We input this value of r into the area formula.
