In a right triangle, the measures of the legs are x and x + 14 and the measure of the hypotenuse is x + 16. Find the measure of x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x=10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

The two legs are x and (x + 14) and the hypotenuse is (x + 16). Therefore:

[tex](x)^2+(x+14)^2=(x+16)^2[/tex]

Expand:

[tex]\displaystyle x^2+(x^2+28x+196)=x^2+32x+256[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]2x^2+28x+196=x^2+32x+256[/tex]

Subtract the right from the left:

[tex](2x^2+28x+196)-(x^2+32x+256)=0[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]x^2-4x-60=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](x-10)(x+4)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x-10=0\text{ or } x+4=0[/tex]

Solve:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 10 \text{ or } x = -4[/tex]

The x cannot be negative since a side cannot measure -4. So, our only answer is:

[tex]x=10[/tex]

So, the legs are 10 and 24 with the hypotenuse being 26.

4x+3(2x-1)-4x i need help

Answers

Answer:

x=0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x + -3(2x + -1) + -4x = 0

Reorder the terms:

4x + -3(-1 + 2x) + -4x = 0

4x + (-1 * -3 + 2x * -3) + -4x = 0

4x + (3 + -6x) + -4x = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 4x + -6x + -4x = 0

Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x

3 + -2x + -4x = 0

Combine like terms: -2x + -4x = -6x

3 + -6x = 0

Solving

3 + -6x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + -6x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + -6x = 0 + -3

-6x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3

-6x = -3

Divide each side by '-6'.

x = 0.5

Simplifying

x = 0.5

Answers

The answer would be Y= -1/2x-3

Answer:

y = -3 - x/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = -6  

You have to isolate y by minusing x on both sides

2y = -6 - x    

Then you will isolate y by dividing both sides by 2

y = -3 - x/2

Sully has completed 3/10 of a book. He has read 45 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?

Answers

there are 150 pages in the whole book

Answer:

150 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

3/10 is equal to 0.3, or 30% of the book. We can set up an equation to find the total number of pages in the book, with x representing the number of pages.

0.3x=45

0.3x/0.3=45/0.3

36+16= 52

4(9)+4= 40, which does not equal 52.

4(9+4) = 52.

6(6+8) = 84, which does not equal 52.

(6+4)(6+4) = 100, which does not equal 52.

So, 4(9+4) is correct.

x² + 9y² = 9

(a) About

y = 3

(b) About  

x = 3

Answer:

a) the volume of solid revolution is 18π² = 177.652879 ≈ 177.65288

b) the volume of solid revolution is 18π² = 177.652879 ≈ 177.65288

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the volume of solid of revolution

about y=3

Using SHELL METHOD;

Volume V = 2π . [tex]\int\limits^1_{y=-1} \,[/tex] (3-y) (2.3√(1-y²)) dy

= 12π . [tex]\int\limits^1_{y=-1} \,[/tex]  (3-y) √(1-y²) dy

= 12π . [tex]\int\limits^1_{y=-1} \,[/tex]  (( 3√(1-y²) - y(√(1-y²)) dy

= 12π[ [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]π - 0 ]

= 18π² = 177.652879 ≈ 177.65288

Therefore, the volume of solid revolution is 18π² = 177.652879 ≈ 177.65288

b)

the volume of solid of revolution

about x=3

Using SHELL METHOD;

Volume V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]π . [tex]\int\limits^3_{y=-3} \,[/tex] (3-x) ([tex]2.\frac{1}{3}[/tex]√(9-x²)) dx

= [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]π . [tex]\int\limits^3_{y=-3} \,[/tex] (3-x) √(9-x²) dx

= [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]π . [tex]\int\limits^3_{y=-3} \,[/tex] (3√9-x² -x√(9-x²) dx

=  [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]π [ [tex]\frac{27}{2} \pi[/tex] - 0 ]

= 18π² = 177.652879 ≈ 177.65288

Therefore, the volume of solid revolution is 18π² = 177.652879 ≈ 177.65288

Vertex:

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 5, and the vertex is (4, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:  g(x) = (x - 4)^2 – 5.  Comparing this to y = a(x - h)^2 + k, we see that h must be 4 and k must be -5.  Thus, the vertex is (4, -5).

Make a table showing several x-values and the corresponding y-values:

x       g(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 5                     (x, y)

0                    (-4)^2 - 5 = 11               (0, 11)

4                (4 - 4)^2 - 5 = -5               (4, -5)
