Triangle PQR ≅ Triangle XYZ
PQ = 3a + 4 and XY = 5a – 12. Find a and PQ.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

[tex]\Delta PQR\cong \Delta XYZ[/tex]

[tex]PQ=3a+4[/tex]

[tex]XY=5a-12[/tex]

To find:

The value of a and PQ.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]\Delta PQR\cong \Delta XYZ[/tex]

[tex]PQ\cong XY[/tex]                            (CPCTC)

So,

[tex]PQ=XY[/tex]

[tex]3a+4=5a-12[/tex]

Isolating variable terms, we get

[tex]3a-5a=-4-12[/tex]

[tex]-2a=-16[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2.

[tex]a=\dfrac{-16}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]a=8[/tex]

Now,

[tex]PQ=3a+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=3(8)+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=24+4[/tex]

[tex]PQ=28[/tex]

Therefore, the value of a is 8 and the value of PQ is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope-intercept form:

  y = mx + b

where the slope is m = -3 and the y-intercept is b = +2.

So, the graph will have a slope of ...

  "rise"/"run" = -3 = -3/1

and will cross the y-axis at y=2.

Graphs A and B cross the y-axis in the right place, but only Graph B has a negative "rise" a x increases.

Answer:

122°

Step-by-step explanation:

10a + 2° + 5a - 2° = 180° [ being linear pair ]

15a = 180°

a = 180° / 15

a =12°

Now

<XYQ = 10a + 2° = 10 * 12° + 2° = 120° + 2° = 122°

which graph could represent a function ? ?

Answers

Answer:

The third Graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the vertical line test to determine whether or not a graph represents a function. If a vertical line is moved across the graph and, at any time, touches the graph at only one point, then the graph is a function. If the vertical line touches the graph at more than one point, then the graph is not a function.

Answer:

x = 2 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are :

2x-y=3 ...(1)

3x+y=7 ...(2)

Add equation (1) and (2) as follows :

2x-y + 3x+y = 3 + 7

2x + 3x = 10

5x = 10

x = 2

Put the value of x in equation (1)

2(2)-y=3

4-y = 3

y = 4-3

y = 1

Hence, the solution of the given equations are (2,1).

Amy and Ben share £21 between them in the ratio 5 : 2. How much does Amy get?

(Im really sorry I just don't understand ratio.)

Answers

Answer:

✑ [tex] \underline{ \underline{ \sf{First ,\: Let's \: learn \: about \: the \: ratio}}} : [/tex]

Let us consider , there are 30 boys and 40 girls in a school. So, the ratio of number of boys to number of girls = [tex] \sf{ \frac{30}{40} = \frac{3}{4} = 3:4}[/tex] and read as 3 is to 4. We can say , the ratio compares two of more quantities of same unit. Until two quantities have same units , it is meaningless to compare by ratio. So, to find the ratio of two quantities , it is necessary to express them in same unit or of same kind. Since , they are in division form. So ,ratio is unit less quantity. Thus , the ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind in division which doesn't have any units. For example : [tex] \sf{ \frac{a}{b}} [/tex] is a ratio and is read as ' a is to b ' in which ' a : is antecedent and ' b ' is called consequent.

✎ [tex] \underline{ \underline{ \sf{Now \: let's \: solve : }}}[/tex]

☪ [tex] \underline{ \sf{Solution}} : [/tex]

£ 21 is to be divided between Amy and Ben in the ratio 5 : 2. So, let Amy get £ 5x and Ben get £ 2x.

Then , According to the question , [tex] \text{5x +2x = 21}[/tex]

Solve for x :

⇝ [tex] \sf{7x = 21}[/tex]

⇝ [tex] \sf{ \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{21}{7} }[/tex]

⇝ [tex] \sf{x = 3}[/tex]

The value of x is 3. Now , substitute the value of x in 5x :

Amy received £ 5x = 5 × 3 = £ 15 .

☥ [tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer \: is \bold{£ \: 15}}}}[/tex]

Can someone tell just the answer

Answers

Answer:

Option D is correct .

Step by step explanation:

A function is given to us and we need to find its inverse . The function is g(x) = -2x⁵ - 2.

So for finding its inverse , exachange x with y .

⇒ g(x) = -2x⁵ - 2 .

Let g(x) = y ,

⇒ y = -2x⁵ - 2 .

Replace x with y ,

⇒ x = -2y⁵ - 2

⇒ x + 2 = -2y⁵

⇒ y⁵ = x+2 / -2

⇒ y⁵ = (-1) ( x + 2) / (-1)(-2)

⇒ y⁵ = -x - 2/ 2

y = [ ( -x -2)/2 ]

Hence the inverse of the function is ,

[tex]\boxed{\red{\bf f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[5]{\dfrac{-x-2}{2}}}}[/tex]

Hence the correct option is (D) .

Conner had 354$ and spent 243 cents. How much did conner have left and how many dollars? please help. If you do, then I will tell you a secret.

Answers

Conner: $354 - 243 cents

243 cents = $2.43 because 100 cents = 1 dollar

Conner: $354 - $2.43 = $351.57

$351.57

He has 351 dollars left.

Answer:

354 - 243 = 111

Step-by-step explanation:

300 - 200 = 100

 50 -    40 =   10

   4  -      3  =   1

100  +  10 + 1 = 111

Which of the following is not a function?

b. (2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4)
c (2,4),(4,8).(10,12). (4,10)
d. (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)​

Answers

Answer: B

Number on the left: x-value
Number on the right: y-value

If there are 2 y-values for one x-value it is NOT considered a function.

For instance in the answer:

(2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4)

You can clearly see that the x-values (2 & 3) repeat more than once; therefore, it is NOT a function.

On the other hand if you have 2 DIFFERENT x-values for the same y-value it IS A FUNCTION.

For ex D: (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)

As you can see there are 4 DIFFERENT x-values with same y-value; therefore it is A FUNCTION

To make it easier:

If x-values appear more than once = NOT A FUNCTION

If x-values appear only ONCE = FUNCTION

Remember: y-values are ALLOWED to repeat

Find the total amount given the original price and tax rate. Round to the nearest cent if necessary.
$15.25,7%

Answers

Given:

Original price = $15.25

Tax rate = 7%

To find:

The total amount.

Solution:

We know that,

Total amount = Original price + Tax

According to the question,

Total amount = 15.25 + 7% of 15.25

[tex]\text{Total amount}=15.25+\dfrac{7}{100}\times 15.25[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total amount}=15.25+1.0675[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total amount}=16.3175[/tex]

Round to the nearest cent (two decimal places).

[tex]\text{Total amount}\approx 16.32[/tex]

Therefore, the total value is $16.32.
