Point C is on the midpoint of a section of highway, represented by AB. If AB = 32 miles,
AC = 4x miles, and CB = 12 + x miles, explain three different ways
that
you
could
solve for x.

Answers

Answer 1

To solve this question, we need to understand the concept of midpoint.

Doing this, we get that x is equals to 4 miles., and we find it using each of these three ways:

[tex]AC = CB[/tex][tex]AC = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex][tex]CB = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

Segment:

C is the midpoint of the segment AB, which means that:

The distance of the initial point A to the midpoint C is the same as the distance of the midpoint C to the final point B.

[tex]AC = CB[/tex]

The distance of the midpoint to one of the endpoints is half the total distance, that is:

[tex]AC = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

[tex]CB = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]

Solution:

We have to solve for x, considering one of the three relations.

Considering:

[tex]AC = 4x, CB = 12 + x[/tex]

[tex]AC = CB[/tex]

[tex]4x = 12 + x[/tex]

[tex]4x - x = 12[/tex]

[tex]3x = 12[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

The solution for x is x = 4 miles.

this is confusing.

first the description says "the internal dimensions".

and then it tells us the thickness of the tank walls (1cm).

so, I am not sure what the given numbers describe.

in any case, the volume is length × width × height.

so, either

48×38×32

or

46×36×31 (as for length and width we need to consider 2 walls, one on each end, for the height only one wall, as the tank is open and lidless.

whatever you choose, make sure to mark the result as cm³.

Answers

Answer:

C

A

Step-by-step explanation:

adjacent means neighboring, right next to it. that would be 1 and 4.

supplementary means being a complementary, an additional angle, so that in sum both angles together have 180 degrees. and that is only 1.

so, C is the answer.

angle 7 = 115 degrees.

so, angle 8 is supplementary to angle 7.

they are being mirrored on the other side of the line.

so, angle 6 = angle 7, and angle 5 = angle 8.

and the same quadruple of angles have to appear, where the crossing line crosses another, parallel line. they have to be the same angles there again.

so, angle 3 = angle 7, angle 4 = angle 8, angle 1 = angle 5, angle 2 = angle 6.

and because angle 6 is also = angle 7, we have angle 2 = angle 7 = 115 degrees.

Answer:

C and A

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 5 and ∠ 1 are adjacent ( next to each other) on the same line

The angles on a straight line sum to 180° ( supplementary )

Then ∠ 1 is adjacent and supplementary to ∠ 5 → C

7 pots of coffee (If you want to be precise its 6 2/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically you need 10 cups of coffe in fifteen minutes, so 60/15=4 then time 10. so 40 is how much coffee you need in a hour, but we are solving the pot so 40/6= 6 2/3. but it says how many pots so we round it up so its 7. (Unless you wanna be precise)

1 hour=60 minutes
every 15 min, 10 sold
60/15=4
4(10)=40 sold in 1 hour
1 pots=6 cups
1/x=6/40
x=6.6
pots must be integer

The volume of the irregular figure would be 102 [tex]cm^3[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If you wish to make the process of calculating the volume easier, you can picture the irregular figure as two rectangular prisms: the large one on the bottom, and the smaller one appearing to protrude from the prism below it. Using this method, you only need to find the volumes of the two rectangular prisms and add the values together to get the volume for the irregular figure. The formula used to find the volume of a rectangular prism is [tex]l*w*h[/tex], where [tex]l[/tex], [tex]w[/tex], and [tex]h[/tex], represents the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism respectively. Using the formula above, the volume of the larger rectangular prism would be [tex]6*3*5=30*3=90 cm^3[/tex], and the volume of the smaller rectangular prism would be [tex]3*2*2=6*2=12 cm^3[/tex]. So the volume of the entire irregular figure would be [tex]90+12=102 cm^3[/tex].

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

Large rectangle:

6 × 3 × 5 = 18 × 5 = 90

Small rectangle:

7 - 5 = 2

3 × 2 × 2 = 6 × 2 = 12

90 + 12 = 102

Given an arithmetic progression 17,13,9,..... find the number of terms required so that its sum is - 33 .

Answers

Answer:

11 terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

17, 13, 9, ...

And we want to find the number of terms required such that the sum is -33.

Recall that the sum of an arithmetic series is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S = \frac{k}{2}\left( a + x_k\right)[/tex]

Where k is the number of terms, a is the first term, and x_k is the last term.

The desired sum is -33. The first term is 17 as well. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle (-33) = \frac{k}{2} \left( (17) +x_k\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]-66 = k(17 + x_k)[/tex]

We can write a direct formula to find the last term x_k. The direct formula of an arithmetic sequence has the form:

[tex]x_ n = a + d(n-1)[/tex]

Where a is the initial term and d is the common difference.

The initial term is 17 and the common difference is -4. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle x_n = 17 - 4(n-1)[/tex]

Then the last term is given by:

[tex]x_k = 17 - 4(k-1)[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle -66 = k\left( 17 + \left( 17 - 4(k-1)\right)\right)[/tex]

Solve for k:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} -66 &= k(17 + (17 - 4k + 4)) \\ -66 &= k(38 -4k) \\ -66 &= -4k^2 + 38k \\ 4k^2 -38k -66 &= 0 \\ 2k^2 - 19k -33 &= 0 \\ (k-11)(2k+3) &= 0 \\ k-11&= 0 \text{ or } 2k+3 = 0 \\ \\ k &= 11 \text{ or } k = -\frac{3}{2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since we cannot have a negative amount of terms, we can ignore the second solution.

Therefore, the given sequence must have 11 terms such that it sums to -33.

Part B: What is the length of the third side of the triangle? Show your work. (4 points)

Part C: Do the answers for Part A and Part B show that the polynomials are closed under addition and subtraction? Justify your answer. (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length 1 = 8x^2 - 5x - 2

Length 2 = 7x - x^2 + 3

Part A

Length of the two sides = 8x^2 - 5x - 2 + 7x - x^2 + 3

Length of the two sides = 8x^2 - x^2 - 5x + 7x - 2 + 3

Length of the two sides = 7x^2 + 3x + 1

Part B

The perimeter is 4x^3 - 3x^x + 2x - 6

The Third side must be Perimeter - the sum of the two sides.

The third side must be 4x^3 - 3x^x + 2x - 6 - 7x^2 - 3x - 1

The third side = 4x^3 - 4x^x -7x^2  - x - 7

Part C

The problem is now does this show closure. I would say it does not.  I don't think 4x^x is in the quadratic family. Let's take a simpler example of closure.

Suppose we say 4 + 5 = 9 and we say further that we are working with all the integers. 9 is an integer and so are 4 and 5.  So the integers are closed by addition.

4 - 5 = - 1  The answer (-1) is still an integer, so the example still shows closure.

But the question has things in it that show closure only if the set of numbers is the real numbers and even then I'm not certain. We have to ask what x^x is.

a=6.00, b=7.56, y = 54°

Answers

Answer:

c=6.31, a=50.28 degrees, B=75.72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine rule of trigonometry helps us to equate the side of the triangles to the angles of the triangles. The remaining parts of the triangle can be found as shown.

What is Sine rule?

The sine rule of trigonometry helps us to equate the side of the triangles to the angles of the triangles. It is given by the formula,

[tex]\dfrac{Sin\ A}{\alpha} =\dfrac{Sin\ B}{\beta} =\dfrac{Sin\ C}{\gamma}[/tex]

where Sin A is the angle and α is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle A,

Sin B is the angle and β is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle B,

Sin C is the angle and γ is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle C.

Given that the length of side a and b is 6 and 7.56, also, the measure of the angle γ is 54°.

Now, Using the law of cosine, we can write,

[tex]c =\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 -2ab\cdot \cos\gamma}[/tex]

[tex]c =\sqrt{(6)^2 + (7.56)^2 -2(6)(7.56)\cdot \cos(54^o)}[/tex]

c = √39.8297

c = 6.311

Now, using the sine law the ratio of the sides and angles can be written as,

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{a} =\dfrac{\sin\beta}{b} =\dfrac{\sin\gamma}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{6} =\dfrac{\sin\beta}{7.56} =\dfrac{\sin (54^o)}{6.311}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\alpha}{6}=\dfrac{\sin (54^o)}{6.311}[/tex]

α = 50.2775°

[tex]\dfrac{\sin\beta}{7.56} =\dfrac{\sin (54^o)}{6.311}[/tex]

β = 75.726°

Hence, the remaining parts of the triangle can be found as shown.
