If the distance between A(0, 4) and B(3,a) is 5 units then find the value of a.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 0

So that AOB makes a right triangle with sides 3-4-5

Answer 2

Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AB using the distance formula and equate to 5

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (0, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, a )

d = [tex]\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(a-4)^2}[/tex]

  = [tex]\sqrt{3^2+(a-4)^2}[/tex]

  = [tex]\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2}[/tex] , then

[tex]\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2}[/tex] = 5 ( square both sides )

9 + (a - 4)² = 5² = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

(a - 4)² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )

a - 4 = 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

a = 8

Based on the Rational Zero Test, which of the following is
NOT a possible zero of f(x) given below after the reciprocal
of LCD is factored out?

f(x)=x^3 -5x + (2/5)

(A) 1/2
(B) 1/5
(C) 1
(D) -1

Answers

The rational zero test is also known as the rational root test, and it is used to determine the potential root of a function.

(a) 1/2 is not a possible zero of the function

The function is given as:

[tex]f(x) =x^3 - 5x + \frac 25[/tex]

For a function,

[tex]f(x) = px^n +......q[/tex]

The list of possible roots is:

[tex]Roots = \pm\frac{Factors\ of\ q}{Factors\ of\ p}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of [tex]f(x) =x^3 - 5x + \frac 25[/tex] by 5

[tex]5f(x) = 5x^3 - 25x + 2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]p= 5[/tex]

[tex]q = 2[/tex]

The factors are:

[tex]p =\pm 1, \pm 5[/tex]

[tex]q =\pm 1, \pm 2[/tex]

So, the possible roots are:

[tex]Roots = \pm\frac{1,2}{1,5}[/tex]

Split

[tex]Roots = \pm1, \pm \frac 15, \pm 2, \pm \frac 25}[/tex]

Hence, 1/2 is not a possible zero of the function

Find the term indecent of x in the expansion of (x^2-1/x)^6

Answers

By the binomial theorem,

[tex]\displaystyle \left(x^2-\frac1x\right)^6 = \sum_{k=0}^6 \binom 6k (x^2)^{6-k} \left(-\frac1x\right)^k = \sum_{k=0}^6 \binom 6k (-1)^k x^{12-3k}[/tex]

I assume you meant to say "independent", not "indecent", meaning we're looking for the constant term in the expansion. This happens for k such that

12 - 3k = 0   ===>   3k = 12   ===>   k = 4

Let $F,$ $G,$ and $H$ be collinear points on the Cartesian plane such that $\frac{FG}{GH} = 1.$ If $F = (a, b)$ and $H = (7a, c)$, then what is the $x$-coordinate of $G$?

Answers

F, G, and H all lie on the same line. If FG/GH = 1, then FG = GH, which is to say the distance between F and G is equal to the distance between G and H. This means either F and H are the same point, or G is the midpoint of F and H.

They're not the same point, because the x-coordinate of H is 7 times that of F. So G must be halfway between F and H.

Then the x-coordinate of G is

(i)Given that:

AE || BD

AB = ? [Let AB be x]

BC = 3

ED = 12

DC = 4

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

AB/BC = ED/DC

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ AB / 3 = 12 / 4

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ x(4) = (12)3

⇛ 4x = 36

Shift the number 4 from LHS to RHS.

⇛ x = 36÷4

⇛ x = 36/4

Therefore, AB = 9

Answer: The value of AB for the given problem is 9.

Similarly,

(ii) Given that:

EB || DC

AE = 14

ED = 12

AB = ? [Let AB be X]

BC = 18

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

AE / ED = AB / BC

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ 14 / 12 = x / 18

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ 14(18) = (12)x

⇛ 252 = 12x

Shift the number 252 from LHS to RHS.

⇛ X = 256÷12

From the question (see attachment), we have the following equivalent ratios:

[tex]AB : BE = DC :CE[/tex]

This is so because triangles ABE and DCE are similar triangles.

Such that:

[tex]BE + CE = 20[/tex]

[tex]AB = 16[/tex]

[tex]DC = 16 + 9 = 25[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]AB : BE = DC :CE[/tex]

[tex]16 : BE = 25: CE[/tex]

Make CE the subject in [tex]BE + CE = 20[/tex]

[tex]CE=20 - BE[/tex]

Substitute 20 - BE for CE in [tex]16 : BE = 25: CE[/tex]

[tex]16 : BE = 25: 20 - BE[/tex]

Express as ratio

[tex]\frac{16 }{ BE} = \frac{25}{ 20 - BE}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]16(20 - BE) = 25BE[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]320 - 16BE = 25BE[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]25BE + 16BE = 320[/tex]

[tex]41BE = 320[/tex]

Divide both sides by 41

3 A total of 30 shirts were recently sold at Friday night's football game. Each adult shirt cost
$11.50 and each youth shirt cost $9.45. The total revenue was $324.50.
of two equations that can be used to solve for the number of A (adult) shirts

Answers

Answer:

number of adult shirts sold (a) = 20

number of youth shirts sold (b) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of adult shirts sold

y = number of youth shirts sold

30 = a + y

$324.50 = 11.50a + 9.45y

This is the resulting system of equations from the given information in the problem.

Solve for y in the first equation and then substitute the equation for y into the second equation :

a+y=30 --> y=30-a

324.50 = 11.50a + 9.45(30-a)

Solve for a.

324.50 = 11.50a + 283.5 - 9.45a

41 = 2.05a

a = 20

Now that we have solved for a, we can back substitute into our equation for y and solve.

y=30-(20)

y = 10

CHECK:

(20)+(10) = 30 True

(11.50)(20) + (9.45)(10) = 324.5  True

The total weight W of such a plane is equal to

W = w + gf

where

w = weight of plane without fuel

g = number of gallons of fuel

f = weight of 1 gallon of fuel.

When carrying g = 10 gallons, the total weight is W = 1955, so

1955 = w + 10f

When carrying g = 42 gallons, the weight is W = 2131, so

2131 = w + 42f

We want to find W when g = 52, and to do this we first need to find the weight of the plane w and the weight of 1 gallon of fuel f.

Solve the system of equations,

w + 10f = 1955

w + 42f = 2131

We can combine the equations like so to eliminate w and solve for f :

(w + 42f) - (w + 10f) = 2131 - 1955

32f = 176

f = 11/2 = 5.5

Then solving for w, we get

w + 10 (5.5) = 1955

w + 55 = 1955

w = 1900

So, when the plane carries g = 52 gallons of fuel, the total weight is

W = 1900 + 52 (5.5) = 2186

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a plane figure or polygon with three sides and three angles.

A Triangle has three vertices and the sum of the interior angles add up to 180°

Let the Triangle be ΔABC , such that

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ABC

Let the height of the wall be represented as h = AB

Now , Larry liens a 16 foot ladder against a wall

So , the hypotenuse of the triangle AC = 16 feet

And , the base is 5 feet away from the wall

So , the base of the triangle BC = 5 feet

The height of the wall h is given by the Pythagoras theorem ,

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

AC² = AB² + BC²

16² = AB² + 5²

On simplifying the equation , we get

Subtracting 5² on both sides of the equation , we get

AB² = 16² - 5²

AB² = 256 - 25

AB² = 231

Taking square root on both sides of the equation , we get

AB = 15.19

AB ≈ 15 feet

Therefore , the value of h is 15 feet

Hence , the height of the wall is 15 feet

One smartphone plan costs $52 per month for talk and messaging and $8 per gigabyte of data used each month. A second smartphone plan costs $82 per month for talk and messaging and $3 per gigabyte of data used each month. Let c represent the total cost in dollars and d represent the amount of data used in gigabytes.

The system of equations
c=52+8d
c−3d=82

can be used to represent this situation.
How many gigabytes would have to be used for the plans to cost the same? What would that cost be?

Answers

Answer:

Both plans would cost $100 if 6 gigabytes of data are used.

Explanation:

From the question, the system of equation are correctly represented by using small letter c to represent the total cost in dollars for both equations as already assumed in the question as follows:

c = 52 + 8d ........................... (1)

c = 82 + 3d ........................... (2)

Since c is common to both, equations (1) and (2) can therefore be equated and d solved for as follows:

52 + 8d = 82 + 3d

8d - 3d = 82 - 52

5d = 30

d = 30 / 5

d = 6

Substituting d = 6 into equation (1), we have:

c = 52 + (8 * 6)

c = 52 + 48

c = 100

Since d = 6 and c = 100, it therefore implies that both plans would cost $100 if 6 gigabytes of data are used.
