A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths (x+5)cm, (x-3)cm and 9cm. Calculate the value of x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4.0625 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.

Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:

(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2

(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)

x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9

16x=65

x=4.0625

Checking:

(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2

82.1289=82.1289

Answer 2

Answer:

x = (3.95 and -5.95)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hypotenuse = 9 cm

Perpendicular = (x+5) cm

Base = (x-3) cm

Find:

Value of x

Computation:

Using Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

9² = (x+5)² + (x-3)²

81 = x² + 25 + 10x + x² + 9 - 6x

2x² + 4x - 47 = 0

Quadratic Formula

x = [-b±√b²-4ac] / 2a

x = [-4±√16+376] / 2(2)

x = (3.95 and -5.95)

How many integers are there that consist of four digits (from 1000 to 9999) where the first digit is a 5 or an 8 and the third digit is not 5 or 8

Answers

Answer:

1600 integers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a four digit number, there are four digit placements.

For the first digit, since there can either be a 5 or an 8, we have the arrangement as ²P₁ = 2 ways.

For the second digit, we have ten numbers to choose from, so we have ¹⁰P₁ = 10.

For the third digit, since it neither be a 5 or an 8, we have two less digit from the total of ten digits which is 10 - 2 = 8. So, the number of ways of arranging that is ⁸P₁ = 8.

For the last digit, we have ten numbers to choose from, so we have ¹⁰P₁ = 10.

So, the number of integers that can be formed are 2 × 10 × 8 × 10 = 20 × 80 = 1600 integers

When a principal amount, P, is invested at an annual interest rate,r, and compounded n times per
year, the amount accumulated in the account after t years can be found with the equation:
A = P(1+ :)"
Javier invested $2,350 in a savings account for 5 years with a rate of 1.75% compounded every six
months. In this situation, what is n?

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P( 1+r/n) ^ (nt)

P is the amount invested

r is the rate

n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded

t is the number of years

every 6 months is twice a year

so n is 2

help plz solve these equations by completing the square

x square + 12x =1

Answers

Answer:

x = - 6 ± [tex]\sqrt{37}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 12x = 1

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(6)x + 36 = 1 + 36

(x + 6)² = 37 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 6 = ± [tex]\sqrt{37}[/tex] ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = - 6 ± [tex]\sqrt{37}[/tex] ← exact solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

22/2= 11

11+14 = 25

Answer:

11 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers we'll call x and y.  Let's set up equations to model the situation:

x+y=38

x-y=14

Solving the second one for x,

x=y+14

Plug this into the first equation for x and get:

(y+14)+y=36

2y+14=36

2y=36-14

2y=22

y=11

x-y=14

x-11=14

x=14+11

x=25

4. 13x + 5y = -11
13x + 11y = 7
Solution:

Answers

Answer:

y=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

(-2,3) x= -2 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should do is convert both into standard y=mx+b form

For the first equation you subtract 5y and add 11 to both sides to get

13x+11= -5y

you divide by negative 5 to get

-13x/5-11/5=y

For the second equation we subtract 11y and 7 from both sides to get

13x-7= -11y

divide both sides by -11 to get

-13x/11 + 7/11

We then set both equations equal to each other and solve for x

-13x/5-11/5= -13x/11 + 7/11

Add 11/5 to both sides to get

-13x/5 = -13x/11 + 156/55

Add 13x/11 to both sides to get

-78/55x=156/55

Divide and solve for x to get -2

Then plug x = -2 into the original equations to find y

13*-2 + 5y = -11

-26 + 5y = -11

Add 26 to both sides

5y= 15

y =3

Simplify Like-Terms:

10x-3=20x-1

Add 3 to both sides:

10x=20x+2

Subtract 10x from both sides:

0=10x+2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

10x=-2

Divide by 10:

x=-2/10

or

x=-1/5
