Explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem to tie together the three sides of the right triangle.
[tex]a = x-3 = \text{horizontal leg}\\b = x+5 = \text{vertical leg}\\c = 9 = \text{hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\(x-3)^2 + (x+5)^2 = 9^2\\x^2-6x+9 + x^2+10x+25 = 81\\2x^2+4x+34 = 81\\2x^2+4x+34-81=0\\2x^2+4x-47=0\\[/tex]
From here, we use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(4)\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(2)(-47)}}{2(2)}\\\\x = \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{392}}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{-4\pm19.79898987}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{-4+19.79898987}{4} \ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{-4-19.79898987}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{15.79898987}{4} \ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{-23.79898987}{4}\\\\x \approx 3.94974747 \ \text{ or } \ x \approx -5.94974745\\\\[/tex]
We'll ignore the negative x value because it makes the sides x+5 and x-3 to be negative numbers. Negative side lengths make no sense.
The only practical solution is roughly x = 3.94974747; rounding to 3 sig figs leads to the final answer of x = 3.95
In this case, 3 sig figs means that we're rounding to 2 decimal places.

Describe and correct the error in finding the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 12, 20, 28.
(correct the error below!)
first term =4
common difference =8
tenth term =4 +10(8) = 84
Answers
Answer: The tenth term is 76
=======================================================
Explanation:
We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term
[tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)[/tex]
Plug in [tex]a_1 = 4, \ d = 8, \ n = 10[/tex] and you should get the following:
[tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(10-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(9)\\\\a_{10} = \textbf{76}\\\\[/tex]
The tenth term is 76
---------
We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.
[tex]\begin{array}{c|c}\boldsymbol{n} & \boldsymbol{a_n}\\1 & 4\\2 & 12\\3 & 20\\4 & 28\\5 & 36\\6 & 44\\7 & 52\\8 & 60\\9 & 68\\10 & \textbf{76}\\\end{array}[/tex]
---------
In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in [tex]a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)[/tex] which shifts everything one spot to the left.

Two sisters share an inheritance of $1 million by a ratio of 2:3. How much does each sister inherit
Answers
Answer:
$400,000 and $600,000
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = one sister amount
3x = the other sister amount
Total money = $1,000,000
5x = 1,000,000
x = 1,000,000/5
x = 200,000
2x = 2(200,000) = $400,000
3x = 3(200,000) = $600,000
Check: one sister amount + the other sister amount = $1, 000,000
$400,000 + $600,000 = $1,000,000
ratio 2:3=2+3=5
so the first sisters share is
(2/5×1,000,000)
=200,000×2
=400,000.....thats the first sisters share
so....the second sister's share is
(3/5×1,000,000)
=3×200,000
=600,000.....thats the second sisters share
and to check if your answer is correct
you can add both of their shares
600,000+400,000=1,000,000.

1: AOB is 180 degrees 2: AOF + FOG = 180 degrees 3: 60 + 90 + 30 + 180 4: x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 15
Add up 5x - 15 + 90 + 2x = 180 degrees
FOG = 90 degrees (right angle)
Combine like terms to get 7x + 75 = 180
subtract 75 on both sides to get 7x = 105
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x to get x = 15
Substitute 15 for every x you see so 5(15) - 15 and 2(15)
5(15) - 15 = 60
2(15) = 30

Which is the correct translation of the sentence into an equation?

A: n-12=4
B: n-4=12
C: 4-n=12
D: 12-n=4
Answers
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
n is a number. 4 less then that number translates to n-4, so the answer is B:
n-4=12
Hope that helps! :)
Answer:
C: n-4= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
To understand why this answer is correct, lets break down the sentence.
Four less = [tex]4-[/tex]The part "than a number" can be represented as n as in math, unknown numbers are variables in order to isolate them to and figure out their values. "is 12" will represent the sum of the equation as the sentence is clarifying that that 4 minus the variable n is equal to 12.Revised Answer: n-4=12 is actually the answer as n can be any quantity, and n -4 =12 literally means n + (-4) = 12.

(-1, 5) (3,y) m=5 whats the value of my and whats the slope <3
Answers
Answer:
slope: 5
y = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is m, and m = 5, so slope is 5.
y-5=5(x+1)...........set up point slope form
y-5=5x+5............distribute 5
y=5x+10..............add 5 to both sides
y=5(3)+10............plug in 3
y=25.....................simplify
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure you posted the question correctly.
m is the slope already. this comes from the point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point on the line.
so, the slope is 5 (and cannot be <3).
so, using the first point we get
y - 5 = 5(x - -1) = 5(x + 1) = 5x + 5
therefore
y = 5x + 10
for (3, y) we put 3 in as x
y = 5×3 + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25
it is (3, 25) for m = 5.

Which system of inequalities is shown?

Answers
y < x
y < 2
==================================================
Explanation:
The horizontal line is y = 2 since all points on this line have a y coordinate of 2. Eg: (0,2) and (5,2)
Since we shade everything below this line, we're describing the inequality y < 2. All points in the shaded region for this describe anything with a y coordinate smaller than 2. Eg: (7,1)
-------------
At the same time, we're also shading below the line y = x to form the inequality y < x.
So that's how we end up with this system
[tex]\begin{cases}y < x\\y < 2\\\end{cases}[/tex]
which describes the set of all points below the lines y = 2 and y = x. The dashed lines indicate that points on the boundary do not count as solution points. For example, (5,2) is not a solution because it rests on the upper horizontal boundary.

The table shows the total amounts y (in thousands of dollars) of money a homeowner saves on electric bills x years after installing solar panels.
a. Write an equation that models the total amount of money saved as a function of the number of years after the solar panels were installed.
y = _______
b. Interpret the slope and y-intercept of the line of fit.
Answers
The slope of the line means that the homeowner saves 1.6 thousand dollars per year while the y intercept means that the cost of installing the solar panels is 12 thousand dollars.
A linear equation is given by:
y = mx + b
where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change, b is the initial value of y (y intercept).
Let y represent the total money in thousand dollar saved for x years.
Taking the points (0, -12) and (20, 20).
The equation is given as:
[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-(-12)=\frac{20-(-12)}{20-0} (x-0)\\\\y+12=1.6x \\\\y=1.6x-12[/tex]
The slope of the line means that the homeowner saves 1.6 thousand dollars per year while the y intercept means that the cost of installing the solar panels is 12 thousand dollars.
