Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x = 27

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

This option corresponds to the given equation, so it is correct.

B. (x + 2)^2 = 43

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 39 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

C. (x + 4)^2 = 31

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 15 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

D. (x+4)^2 = 43

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 27 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

So, your answer is A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.

Solve for zzz. 42=-7(z-3)42=−7(z−3)

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for z we single it out, distribute, use the communicative property, and combine like terms.

42 = -7(z - 3)42 = -7(z - 3)

Distribute

42 = -7z + 21*42 = -7z + 21

42 = -7z + 882 = -7z + 21

-42 to both sides

-7z + 840 = -7z + 21

-21 to both sides

-7z + 819 = -7z

+7z to both sides

819 = 0

Thus,

the given equation is false.

A swim team must be chosen from 10 candidates. What is the greatest number of different four-person teams that can be chosen?

Answers

Answer:

210 combinations

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of candidates given = n = 10

The number of candidates to be chosen = r = 4

As in this, the sequence of the chosen candidates doesn't matter, we can use Combination to find the solution.

C(n,r) = n! / (n-r)! (r)!

where n = 10 and r = 4

C(10,4) = 10! / (10-4)! (4)!

C(10,4) = 10! / 6! 4!

C(10,4) = (10·9·8·7·6·5·4·3·2·1) / (6·5·4·3·2·1)(4·3·2·1)

C(10,4) = (10·9·8·7) / ((4·3·2·1))

C(10,4) = 210 combinations

The main temperature is -5°C.

-5 is a negative number so a colder temperature will be a number that is less than -5

-5-(-7)= 2-5-(-9)= 4 -5-(-10) = 5

What is a scale image?

Scale image is defined as a ratio that represents the relationship between the shape and size of a figure and the corresponding dimensions of the actual figure or object.

We have been given that a Polygon ABCD is dilated by a certain scale factor with the origin as the center of the dilation to form the image A'B'CD.

The length of AB = 5.6 units, and

The length of A' B' = 2.24 units.

We have to determine the value of the scale factor.

As we know scale factor is the ratio of sides in the original image and the image after dilation.

The scale factor = length of AB/length of A' B'

The scale factor = 5.6/2.24

The scale factor = 2.50

Therefore, the required value of the scale factor is 2.50.

In parallelogram ABCD, m∠ABD = 83°, m∠BDA = 34°, and m∠BCD = °.

Answers

This question is incomplete

Find attached to this answer the appropriate diagram required to answer the question.

This diagram was obtained online.

Answer:

63°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that for parallelogram ABCD, ∠ABD=83° and ∠BDA=34°.

To get the above angles, parallelogram ABCD was split into two triangles by a diagonal given us ∆ABD and ∆BCD

Remember that angles in a triangle = 180°

∆ABD has ∠ABD=83°, ∠BDA=34° and ∠DAB

180° = ∠ABD + ∠BDA+ ∠DAB

180° = 83° + 34° + ∠DAB

∠DAB = 180°-117°

=63°

Since ∆ABD and ∆BCD are similar triangles because they are from one parallelogram,

∠DAB = ∠BCD

= 63°

Therefore, the measure of the angle BCD is 63°.

The answer is 63

Answers

Answer:

To make it simple, when finding the domain all you have to do is look for the x within the points.

Looking at the first set you can tell that the domain is -3, 0, 4, and 11

The y or the f(x) would be 6, 2, 7, and 15

(Just saying y and f(x) are the same thing.)

For the next set the domain is 6, 2, 7, and 15

For the f(x) it is -3, 0, 4, and 11

Remeber x and Domain is the same thing so all you have to do is look for the x within the points of the plot, as for looking for the range, it is the same thing as y or f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using concept of basic proportionality theorem,

according to this theorem, if a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Example:

let there be a triangle ABC

if DE is drawn parallel to BC such that D is a point on line AB and E is other point on AC, then

Answers

Answer:

3/16 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A rate of change describes how an output quantity changes relative to the change in the input quantity.

Points given:

Input        Output

 2            1/6

 3          17/48

 4          13/24

 5          35/48

 6          11/12

Here input values describe the time in minutes from 2 to 6 and output values describe the distance in miles from 1/6 to 11/12

Calculating the rate of change using the first two pairs of input-output values

Relative change = change in distance/change in time

(17/48 - 1/6)/(3-2) = (17/48 - 8/48) /1 = 9/48 = 3/16 miles/minute

We will get the same result if we take any other ordered pair of input and output values.

So D is your answer! Hope this helped!

Rate of change is the change in a particular variable, over another variable.

The rate of change is: 3/16 miles per minutes

To calculate the rate of change, we select any two points on the table (see attachment)

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (2,\frac 16)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (3,\frac{17}{48})[/tex]

The rate of change (m) is calculated as follows:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{\frac{17}{48} - \frac{1}{6}}{3-2}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{\frac{17}{48} - \frac{1}{6}}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{17}{48} - \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]m = \frac{17- 8}{48}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{9}{48}[/tex]

Reduce fraction

[tex]m = \frac{3}{16}[/tex]

Hence, the rate of change is: 3/16 miles per minutes

Answers

Answer:

1.) x^2 + 3x

2.) 3x^2 - 3x

3.) 278

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the following functions:

f(x) = x + 5

g(x) = x2 + 4x + 5

h(x) = 3x2 - 2x + 5

1.) To match the function with its value,

(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

Substitutes for the two functions

X + 5 = x^2 + 4x + 5

Collect the like terms and equate them to zero

X^2 + 4x - x + 5 - 5

X^2 + 3x

Therefore, (f+g) (x) = x^2 + 3x

2.) (f*h)(x) = f(x) × h(x)

x + 5 = 3x^2 - 2x + 5

Collect the like terms

3x^2 - 2x - x + 5 - 5

3x^2 - 3x

Therefore, (f×h)(x) = 3x^2 - 3x

3.) h[f(5)] -g[h(1)]

First find f(5)

That is, substitute x for 5 in f(x)

f(5) = 5 + 5 = 10

Also, do the same for h(1)

h(1) = 3(1)^2 - 2(1) + 5

h(1) = 3 - 2 + 5 = 6

h[f(5)] - g[h(1)]

= 3(10)^2 - 2(10) + 5 - (6)^2 + 4(6) + 5

= 300 - 20 + 5 - 36 + 24 + 5

= 334 - 56

= 278

Therefore, h[f(5)] - g[h(1)] = 278

This Bridge is a landway over the water, connecting two cities bearing to each other relations in some respects similar. It is the function of such works to bless "both him that gives and him that takes." The development of the West has not belittled, but has enlarged New York, and Brooklyn will grow by reason of this Bridge, not at New York's expense, but to her permanent advantage. The Brooklyn of 1900 can hardly be guessed at from the city of to-day. The hand of Time is a mighty hand. To those who are privileged to live in sight of this noble structure every line of it should be eloquent with inspiration. Courage, enterprise, skill, faith, endurance--these are the qualities which have made the great Bridge, and these are the qualities which will make our city great and our people great. God grant they never may be lacking in our midst. Gentlemen of the Trustees, in accepting the Bridge at your hands, I thank you warmly in Brooklyn's name for your manifold and arduous labors.
