Answers

Answer:

6√5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the expression [tex]\sqrt{180}[/tex]

Break 180 into its factors which are in the perfect square form.

Since, 180 = 9 × 4 × 5

                 = 3² × 2² × 5

Therefore, [tex]\sqrt{180}=\sqrt{3^{2}\times 2^{2}\times 5}[/tex]

                           = [tex]\sqrt{3^2}\times \sqrt{2^{2}}\times \sqrt{5}[/tex] [Since [tex]\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\times \sqrt{b}[/tex]]

                           = 3 × 2 × √5

                           = 6√5

Therefore, solution of the given square root will be 6√5.

Answer:

u = [tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 45-45-90 triangle.

That means that there are two side lengths with lengths of x, and a hypotenuse with a length of xsqrt(2). We can then set up a proportion.

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } =\frac{\sqrt{2} }{u}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Solve: x^2 - 4x-5=0

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=-1,5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2-4x-5=0[/tex]

In order to solve this quadratic, we have many methods. We can factor, complete the square, or use the quadratic formula. I'm going to factor since it's the easiest method.

To factor, find two numbers that when multiplied equal a(c) and when added equal b.

a=1, b=-4, and c=-5.

So we want two numbers that when multiplied equals 1(-5)=-5 and when added equals -4.

-5 and 1 are the possible numbers. Therefore:

[tex]x^2-4x-5=0\\x^2+x-5x-5=0\\x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0\\(x-5)(x+1)=0\\x=5, -1[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will start with the angle that measures 57 degrees. This angle is supplementary to the one next to it coming off the straight line. 180 - 57 = 123.

The rule for quadrilaterals is that same side angles are supplementary, so the angle next to the 123-degree angle (to the immediate left of that angle 123) is 57. THAT 57-degree angle is supplementary to angle b, so angle b = 180 - 57 which is 123. So C is your answer.

There are 39 chocolates in a box, all identically shaped. There 16 are filled with nuts, 13 with caramel, and 10 are solid chocolate. You randomly select one piece, eat it, and then select a second piece. Find the probability of selecting a nut chocolate followed by a caramel chocolate.

Answers

Answer:

16/117

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = expected outcome of event/total outcome of event

Given the total amount of chocolate in a box = 39chocolates

Amount of nuts = 16

Mount of caramel = 13

Amount of solid chocolate = 10

If he randomly selects a nut chocolate and eat, the probability of selecting a nut chocolate = Amount of nuts/total chocolate in the box = 16/39

IF he selects a seconnd piece (caramel chocolate) and eat, the probability of selecting a caramel chocolate = Amount of caramel/total chocolate in the box = 13/39 = 1/3

The probability of selecting a nut chocolate followed by a caramel chocolate will be 16/39*1/3 = 16/117

What is the least number of colors you need to correct color in the sections of these pictures so that no two touching sections are the same color?

Answers

You would assume that in this figure, the number of colored sections with which are not colored with respect to a " touching " colored section, would be half of the total colored sections. However that is not the case, the sections are not alternating as they still meet at a common point. After all, it notes no two touching sections, not adjacent sections. Their is no equation to calculate this requirement with respect to the total number of sections.

Let's say that we take one triangle as the starting. This triangle will be the start of a chain of other triangles that have no two touching sections, specifically 7 triangles. If a square were to be this starting shape, there are 5 shapes that have no touching sections, 3 being a square, the other two triangles. This is presumably a lower value as a square occupies two times as much space, but it also depends on the positioning. Therefore, the least number of colored sections you can color in the sections meeting the given requirement, is 5 sections for this first figure.

Respectively the solution for this second figure is 5 sections as well.

Suppose you place $10,000 in a retirement fund that earns a nominal interest rate of 8 percent. If you expect inflation rate to be 5 percent or lower, then calculate the real interest rate you are expecting to earn.

Answers

Answer:

Real interest rate= 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Suppose you place $10,000 in a retirement fund that earns a nominal interest rate of 8 percent. The inflation rate is 5 percent.

The effect of the inflation rate on the interest rate is counterproductive. The inflation rate diminishes purchasing power.

Real interest rate= nominal interest rate - inflation rate

Real interest rate= 0.08 - 0.05= 0.03

Answers

Answer:

The second and fourth statements are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function for the graph of:

[tex]y=-(x-0.5)^2+9[/tex]

Note that this is a quadratic function in its vertex form, given by:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Where a is the leading coefficient and (h, k) is the vertex.

Rewriting our given equation yields:
[tex]\displaystyle y = (-1)(x-(0.5))^2 + (9)[/tex]

Therefore, a = -1, h = 0.5, and k = 9.

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is at (0.5 ,9).

Because the leading coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downwards.

Therefore, the parabola has a maximum value.

In conclusion, the second and fourth statements are correct.

1. the vertex is (0.5, 9)

2. it has a maximum.

Principal = $20000

Rate = 8% = 0.08

Time( in years) = 120days = 4 months = 4/12 years = 1/3 years

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Interest = 20,000 × 0.08× (1/4)

Interest = $533.33

Which is the best description of the equivalency of the two expressions? Expression 1 Expression 2 5 x squared minus 2 x minus 4 + 6 x + 3 6 x squared minus 6 x + 6 minus x squared + 10 x minus 7 The two expressions are not equivalent because when x = 2, the two expressions do not have the same value. The two expressions are not equivalent because when they are simplified, they do not have the same coefficients for the x squared and x terms. They are equivalent because the sum of the constants is the same in both expressions. They are equivalent because when x = 2, the two expressions have the same value.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two expressions are:

[tex]\text{Exp}_{1}=5x^{2}-2x-4+6x+3\\\\\text{Exp}_{2}=6x^{2}-6x+6-x^{2}+10x-7[/tex]

On simplifying both the expressions we get:

[tex]\text{Exp}_{1}=5x^{2}+4x-1\\\\\text{Exp}_{2}=5x^{2}+4x-1[/tex]

Compute the value of both expressions for x = 2 as follows:

[tex]\text{Exp}_{1}=5(2)^{2}+4(2)-1=27\\\\\text{Exp}_{2}=5(2)^{2}+4(2)-1=27[/tex]

The value of both expressions are same for x = 2.

Thus, the correct option is:

"They are equivalent because when x = 2, the two expressions have the same value."

The graph of y = h(x) is a line segment joining the points (1, -5) and (9,1).
Drag the endpoints of the segment below to graph y = h-'(x).

Answers

Answer:

Ok, i cant drag the endpoints of the segment, but i can tell you how to do it.

First, we know that h(x) joins the points (1, -5) and (9, 1), then h(x) is a line:

h(x) = s*x + b

First, for a line that goes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope will be:

s = (y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)

Then in this case, the slope is:

s = (1 - (-5))/(9 - 1) = 0.75

Then we have

h(x) = 0.75*x + b

now, the value of b can be found as:

h(1) = -5 = 0.75*1 - b

b = - 5 - 0.75 = -5.75.

Then our equation is:

h(x) = 0.75*x - 5.75

Now, i gues you want to find the graph of:

y = h(-x)

Then our new function is:

g(x) = h(-x) =  -0.75*x - 5.75.

Now to find the points, we evaluate this function in the same values of x as before.

g(1) = -0.75*1 - 5,75 = -6,5

the point is (1, -6.5)

the second point is when x = 9.

g(9) = -0.75*9 - 5.75 = -12.5

The second point is (9, -12.5)
