if you are examining a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotnuse,how will you determine the measure of the unknown leg?

Answers

Answer 1

We will apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the measure of the unknown leg in a triangle when one leg and the hypotenuse are provided dimensions.

What is the definition of a right-angle triangle?

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometric function.

According to Pythagoras, the sum of the squares of two sides equals the square of the longest side.

[tex]\rm h^2 = p^2+ b^2[/tex]

Where,

h is the hypotenuse

p is the perpendicular

b is the base

If any of the two is given the third side will be obtained using the  Pythagoras theorem.

In a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotenuse, we will determine the measure of the unknown leg by the Pythagoras theorem.

Hence we willl apply the pythogorous theorem for finding the unknown side.

Answers

The equation of the transformed function is h(x) =  4(x - 7)² - 19 option (C) is correct.

What is a function?

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function:

g(x) =  4x² - 16

The above function shifted 7 units to the right and 3 down.

Applying transformation:

x → (x - 7)

G(x) =  4(x - 7)² - 16

G(x) → G(x) - 3

h(x) =  4(x - 7)² - 16 - 3

h(x) =  4(x - 7)² - 19

Thus, the equation of the transformed function is h(x) =  4(x - 7)² - 19 option (C) is correct.

Roni wants to write an equation to represent a proportional relationship that has a constant of proportionality equal to StartFraction 7 over 25 EndFraction. She writes the equation y = x + StartFraction 7 over 25 EndFraction. What error is Roni making?
She should have written y = negative x + StartFraction 7 over 25 EndFraction so that x and y have a constant sum.
She should have written x y = StartFraction 7 over 25 EndFraction so that x and y have a constant product.
She should have written y = StartFraction 7 over 25 EndFraction x so that x and y have a constant quotient.
She should have written y = StartFraction 7 over 25 EndFraction so that y has a constant value.

Answers

Answer:

y = 7/25x

Step-by-step explanation:

For a proportional relationship, we have

y ∞ x.

Let k = constant of proportionality = 7/25

Removing the proportionality sign, we have

y = k x

Therefore, the answer is  

y = 7/25x

Instead of y= x + 7/25

So, the error is that x should be multiplied by 7/25 and not added.

allowing 16% discount on the MP of a television and leying 13% Vat buyer has pay RS 18984 to buy it . Find MP of that television​

Answers

The marked price of the television is Rs. 20,000.

What is Marked Price?

The market price is the current price at which a good or service can be purchased or sold.

Here, let the marked price of the television be Rs. x

          Discount = 16% on MP

          VAT = 13% additional on MP

          Total paid amount = Rs. 18984

Now, according to question;

     MP X (1 - Discount) X (1 + VAT) = 18984

              x (1 - 0.16)(1+0.13) = 18984

              x = 18984/(0.84 X 1.13)

              x = 18984 / 0.9492

              x = 20,000

Thus, the marked price of the television is Rs. 20,000.

Let x = number of apples and y = number of slices.

The constant of proportionality is
.
The equation for this relationship is

Answers

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 6. This makes the relation y = 6x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: As the number of apples are increasing, the number of slices are also increasing. Given that x is the number of apples and y is the number of slices. This means that y is directly proportional to x.

y ∝ x

Let the constant of proportionality be k.

y = kx

For x = 1, y = 6. So, k = 6.

For x = 2, y = 12. So, k = 6.

This follows for all the values.

Clearly, the constant of proportionality is 6.

The relationship will become y = 6x.

tube?
a. 4.95 cm
b. 4.86 cm
c. 4.92 cm
d. 4.89 cm

Answers

The correct Option is Option C: The radius of the cardboard tube of 85th loop of paper is 4.92cm

The arithmetic sequence is the sequence where every term is increased or decreased by a fixed number from the previous number.

Here the outer radius of the tube is 2.4 cm

the thickness of the paper is 0.3mm= 0.03cm

i.e. in every loop the increase in the radius of the loop is 0.03cm

then the radius in every sequence will be  2.40, 2.43, 2.46, 2.49, 2.52, .....

so here it is clear that it is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 0.03.

nth term of the sequence, aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d where a₁ is the first term, n is the index of the loop, and d is a common difference.

here a₁ =2.40

d=0.03

n=85

the radius of tube of the 85th loop will be= r= 2.40+(85-1)0.03= 2.40+ 2.52= 4.92

Therefore The radius of the cardboard tube of the 85th loop of paper is 4.92cm

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 15x11 – 6x8 + x3 – 4x + 3?

Answers

All potential rational roots of f(x) = 15x¹¹ - 6x⁸ + x³ - 4x + 3, going by the rational rots theorem are {±1, ±1/3, ±1/5, ±1/15, ±3, ±3/5}.

The rational root theorem suggests that for a polynomial function

f(x) = aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ + ... + a₂x² + a₁x¹ + a₀, all potential rational roots can be given by the formula p/q, where p is the set of all factors of ±a₀ and q is the set of all factors of ±aₙ.

In the question, we are asked to find the potential rational roots of

f(x) = 15x¹¹ - 6x⁸ + x³ - 4x + 3.

Comparing the given polynomial function with the standard polynomial function f(x) = aₙxⁿ + aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹ + ... + a₂x² + a₁x¹ + a₀, we can say aₙ = 15, and a₀ = 3.

By rational root theorem, we know that all potential rational roots can be given by the formula p/q, where p is the set of all factors of ±a₀ and q is the set of all factors of ±aₙ.

Therefore, we can say that p = {factors of ±3} and q = {factors of ±15},

or, p = {±1, ±3}, q = {±1, ±3, ±5, ±15}.

Now, we can write all potential roots by calculating p/q.

p/q = {±1, ±1/3, ±1/5, ±1/15, ±3, ±3/5}

Therefore, all potential rational roots of f(x) = 15x¹¹ - 6x⁸ + x³ - 4x + 3, going by the rational roots theorem are {±1, ±1/3, ±1/5, ±1/15, ±3, ±3/5}.
