If $a$ and $b$ are integers, such that $a\not= 0$ and $b\not= 0$ and $a^2$ and $b^2$ have at most two digits, what is the greatest possible difference between the squares of $a$ and $b?$

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

t is important to note that a square of any non-zero integer is positive, and therefore there is no advantage in using negative integers instead of positive integers to attain the greatest difference of squares. So we will not consider negative integers.

The greatest value of a^2 - b^2 occurs when a^2 is at its largest and b^2 is at its smallest.

The larger a, the larger a^2:

8 ^ 2 = 64

9 ^ 2 = 81

10 ^ 2= 100

Since a^2 can have at most two digits, a=10 is too large, and so a=9 is the largest integral value of a we can use.

Now, b^2 is at its smallest when b is closest to zero on the number line (the further b gets from zero, the larger its square becomes):

2 ^ 2 = 4

1 ^ 2 =1

0 ^ 2 = 0

Remember to go back to the original problem sometimes, to make sure you are taking everything into account. It states b doesn't =0, and therefore the b=1 is the closest b can get to zero as an integer. So, the greatest difference between b^2 and a^2 is when b=1 and a=9, giving the result:

a^2-b^2 =9^2-1^2 =81-1= 80.

So, 80 is your answer.

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle, the sum of the angles that meet at a point is 360 degrees. So now that we have the total, we can subtract all the given information in the picture. We have 84, 75, 68, and x + 73. Now let us set up and equation for this problem.

360 = 84 + 75 + 68 + x + 73

Now combine like terms.

360 = x + 300

Now subtract 300 on both sides.

x = 60

And this is the value of x.

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

84 + 75 + 68 = 227

227 - 360 = 133

133 - 73 = 50

The answer is 50 degrees.

Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint
and midpoint
Endpoint 1: (9,1)
Midpoint: (1,6)
Endpoint 2= (

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other endpoint be (x,y)

Since, (1,6) is the midpoint between (9,1) and (x,y)

Therefore,

1=(9+x)/2

=> 2=9+x

=> x= -7

and,

6=(1+y)/2

=>12= 1+y

=> y=11

So, the other endpoint is ( -7, 11)

Answer:

( - 7 , 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of Endpoint 2 be

(x ,y)

The midpoint of the endpoints is given by

[tex](1,6) = ( \frac{9 + x}{2} , \frac{1 + y}{2} )[/tex]

Where x and y are coordinates of Endpoint 2

Comparing with the midpoint we have

[tex]1 = \frac{9 + x}{2} \\ 2 = 9 + x \\ \\ x = 2 - 9 \\ \\ x = - 7[/tex]

[tex]6 = \frac{1 + y}{2} \\ 12 = 1 + y \\ \\ y = 12 - 1 \\ \\ y = 11[/tex]

Therefore x = - 7 and y = 11

The coordinates of Endpoint 2 are

( - 7 , 11)

find the value of x in the figure below. (picture included)

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 6√5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see attached photo for details.

The value of x can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

In triangle ΔABC:

x² = z² + 12².... (1)

In triangle ΔABD:

15² = x² + y²...... (2)

In triangle ΔACD:

y² = z² + 3²....(3)

Substitute the value of y² in equation 3 into equation 2. We have:

15² = x² + y²

15² = x² + z² + 3²... (4)

From equation:

x² = z² + 12²

Make z² the subject

z² = x² – 12²

Substitute the value of z² into equation 4. We have:

15² = x² + z² + 3²

15² = x² + x² – 12² + 3²

15² = 2x² – 12² + 3²

225 = 2x² – 144 + 9

Collect like terms

225 + 144 – 9 = 2x²

360 = 2x²

Divide both side by 2

360/2 = x²

180 = x²

Take the square root of both side

x = √180

Expressing in surd form, we have:

x = √(36 x 5)

x = √36 x √5

x = 6√5

Answers

Answer:

m∠D = 94°

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral ABCD is also called a cyclic quadrilateral or a quadrilateral that is inscribed in a circle.

Opposite angles in a cyclic Quadrilateral are supplementary, i.e the sum of two opposite angles in a Quadrilateral = 180°

m∠A + m∠C = 180°

m∠A = 74°

74° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 180° - 74°

m∠C = 106°

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the total sum of the angles outside the circle = 360°

i.e =

m∠AB + m∠BC + mDC + mAD = 360°

m∠DAB= ( m∠C) × 2

= 106° × 2 = 212°

m∠DAB = m∠AD + m∠AB

m∠AD = 79°

212° = 79° + m∠AB

m∠AB = 212° - 79°

= 133°

m∠ABC = m∠AB + m∠BC

m∠AB = 133°

m∠BC= 55°

m∠ABC = 133° + 55°

= 188°

We are asked to find m∠D

m∠D = 1/2m∠ABC

m∠ABC = 188°

m∠D = 1/2 × 188°

m∠D = 94°

Therefore, m∠D = 94°

Find the surface area of the right triangular prism shown below.

Answers

Answer:

144 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a traingular prism is given as:

Area = 2(B.A) + P*L

Where,

B.A = base area of the triangular prism = ½*b*h

b = base of the triangular base = 4 units

h = height of the triangular base = 3 units

Base Area (B.A) = ½*4*3 = 2*3 = 6 units²

P = Perimeter of triangular face = sum of all sides the triangle = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 units

L = length or height of prism = 11 units

Plug in all values into the formula for surface area of triangular prism = 2(B.A) + P*L

[tex] Area = 2(6) + 12*11 [/tex]

[tex] = 12 + 132 [/tex]

A group of dragons and sheep are randomly divided into 2 equal rows. Each animal in one row is directly opposite an animal in the other row. If 75 of the animals are dragons, and the number of sheep opposite sheep is 10 more than the number of dragons opposite dragons, find the total number of animals in the group.

Answers

Answer:

Total number of animals in the group = 170

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sheep = a

Number of dragons in the group = 75

Number of dragons opposite dragons = 37

Number of sheep opposite to the dragon = 1

Number of sheep left = a - 1

Number of sheep opposite to sheep = [tex]\frac{(a-1)}{2}[/tex]

Since. number of sheep opposite to sheep is 10 more than of dragons opposite dragons,

[tex]\frac{(a-1)}{2}[/tex] = 37 + 10

[tex]\frac{(a-1)}{2}=47[/tex]

a - 1 = 94

a = 95

Then total number of animals in the group = Total number of sheep + Total number of dragons

= 95 + 75

= 170

Therefore, total number of animals in the group are 170.

Given each set of vertices, determine whether PQRS is a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square. List all that apply. Explain your reasoning, P(-2, -3). Q(2, - 6). R(6. - 3). S(2, 1)

Answers

Answer:

Rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates P(-2, -3). Q(2, - 6). R(6. - 3). S(2, 1), to determine the type of shape the quadrilateral is, we need to find the measure of the sides. To get the measure of each sides, we will take the distance between the adjacent coordinates using the formula to formula for calculating the distance between two points as shown;

D = √(x₂-x₁)²-(y₂-y₁)²

For the side PQ with the coordinate P(-2, -3). Q(2, - 6)

PQ = √(2-(-2))²-(-6-(-3))²

PQ = √(2+2)²-(-6+3)²

PQ = √4²-(-3)²

PQ = √16-9

PQ = √7

For the side QR with the coordinate Q(2, - 6) and R(6, -3)

QR = √(6-2))²-(-3-(-6))²

QR = √(4)²-(3)²

QR = √16-9

QR = √7

For the side RS with the coordinate R(6. - 3) and S(2, 1)

RS = √(2-6)²-(1-(-3))²

RS = √(-4)²-(1+3)²

RS = √16-(4)²

RS = √16-16

RS = 0

For the side PS with the coordinate P(-2, -3) and S(2, 1)

PS = √(2-(-2))²-(1-(-3))²

PS = √(4)²-(1+3)²

PS = √16-(4)²

PS = √16-16

PS = 0

For the quadrilateral to be a rectangle, then two of its sides must be equal and parallel to each other. A rectangle is a plane shape that has two of its adjacent sides equal and parallel to each other. Since two of he sides are equal i.e RS = PS and PQ = QR then the quadrilateral PQRS is a rectangle. Both rhombus and square has all of its sides equal thereby making them wrong.

Help me with this please I have no idea what to do. It says solve for a if the line through the two given points has the given slope a, 3) and (-3, - 1), m = -2

Answers

Answer:

a=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do this every time the slope will go down 2 and over 1 which is rise over run or slope. You can see the y coordinates go down 4 points and every time is should go down 2 so you will know that it would have gone down 2 times so a+2 should equal -3 so if we subtract 2 from both sides we would get a=-5 and that is our answer.

Answer:

a = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to - 2

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (a, 3)

m = [tex]\frac{3+1}{a+3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{a+3}[/tex] = - 2 ( multiply both sides by a + 3 )

- 2(a + 3) = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a = - 5
