In PQR, point S lies on QR. If PS is perpendicular to QR, which term describes PS?A. Perpendicular bisector
B. Angle bisector
C. Median
D. Altitude

Answers

Answer 1
It can't be for sure a perpendicular bisector cuz you don't know what kind of triangle you are dealing with so that one's out.  It's not necessarily an angle bisector either for the same reason. A median means that PS will go through the opposite side right in the center, and again, depending upon what type of triangle you have, this could be true...So it is an altitude, which is like a height of a triangle. It drops down from a vertex and forms a right angle with wherever it goes through. So D.

What is the graph of the function?

f(x) = 2x 2

Answers

The function given is f(x)=2x²

Check the coordinate of y when x=0 ⇒ f(0)=0
Check the coordinate of x when y=0 ⇒ x=0

We have two pairs of coordinate, (0, 0) and (0, 0)

The first two graphs have these coordinates so we need to do further checking

take x=1 ⇒ f(1) = 2(1)² = 2
take x=2 ⇒ f(2) = 2(2)² = 8

we have two pairs of coordinates; (1, 2) and (2, 8)

The correct answer is OPTION A

Answer:

For f(x)=2x² graph, the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

For x = -2; y = 8For x = -1; y = 2For x = 0; y = 0For x = 1; y = 2For x = 2; y = 8

C.Horizontal shift 2 units, then vertical shift up by 3 units
D.Horizontal stretch by factor 2, reflection through the x-axis, then the vertical stretch by factor 3

Answers

the 3 before the x causes a horizontal compression , the -2 causes a vertical stretch followed by reflection in x axis. Its A

Answer:  A. Horizontal compression by factor 1/3, vertical stretch by factor 2, then a reflection through the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, If there is a function, y= a cos bx

Then a shows vertical stretch while b shows horizontal compression.

Here, Given function, y= cos x

After transformation, It is giving y = -2 cos 3x

therefore here is a horizontal compression occurs with factor 1/3.

Also Negative sign shows there also did reflection through x-axis.

And, It also, stretched vertically by factor 2. ( also shown in the below graph)

Thus, Option A) is correct.      




It takes Brian 15 hours longer to build a model car than it takes John. If they work together, they can build the model car in 4 hours. Using complete sentences, explain each step in figuring out how to determine the time it would take Brian to build the car on his own

Answers

It would take Brian 20 hours to build the model car on his own.

To determine the time it would take Brian to build the model car on his own, we can follow these steps:

1. Let's denote the time it takes John to build the model car as J hours.

2. Since it takes Brian 15 hours longer than John, we can express the time it takes Brian as J +15 hours.

3. If they work together, they can build the model car in 4 hours. This means that in 1 hour, they complete [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex] of the job together.

4. In 1 hour, John completes [tex]\(\frac{1}{J}\)[/tex] of the job, and Brian completes [tex]\(\frac{1}{J + 15}\)[/tex] of the job.

5. So, the equation representing the rate at which they work together is:

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{J} + \frac{1}{J + 15} = \frac{1}{4} \][/tex]

6. Now, we solve this equation to find J, the time it takes John to build the model car on his own.

7. Once we find J, we can find J+15  which represents the time it takes Brian to build the model car on his own.

So, the equation representing the rate at which they work together is:

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{J} + \frac{1}{J + 15} = \frac{1}{4} \][/tex]

To solve this equation, we can multiply both sides by the least common denominator, which is [tex]\( 4J(J + 15) \)[/tex], to clear the fractions:

[tex]\[ 4(J + 15) + 4J = J(J + 15) \][/tex]

Expanding and simplifying:

[tex]\[ 4J + 60 + 4J = J^2 + 15J \]\[ 8J + 60 = J^2 + 15J \]\[ J^2 + 15J - 8J - 60 = 0 \]\[ J^2 + 7J - 60 = 0 \][/tex]

Now, we have a quadratic equation. We can solve this equation using factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula. Let's use factoring:

[tex]\[ (J - 5)(J + 12) = 0 \][/tex]

Setting each factor equal to zero:

[tex]\[ J - 5 = 0 \] or \( J + 12 = 0 \)[/tex]

Solving each equation:

[tex]For \( J - 5 = 0 \), we get \( J = 5 \).For \( J + 12 = 0 \), we get \( J = -12 \).[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative solution.

Now that we have found J=5 hours, which represents the time it takes John to build the model car on his own, we can find [tex]\( J + 15 = 5 + 15 = 20 \)[/tex] hours.

A ramp 24 ft long rises to a platform that is 20 ft off the ground. find x , the angle of elevation of the ramp. round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answers

[tex]sin(x)= \frac{BC}{AC}= \frac{20}{24} \approx 0.8333 \ \ \to \ \ x\approx56.4^o[/tex]

Final answer:

To determine the angle of elevation x, we use the sine function with the opposite side (20 ft) and the hypotenuse (24 ft) to get sin(x) = 20/24, and by taking the arcsin of the result, we find that x ≈ 56.4° when rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Explanation:

To find x, the angle of elevation of the ramp, we can use trigonometric functions. Since we have the length of the ramp (hypotenuse) and the height of the platform (opposite side) in a right-angled triangle, we can use the sine function, which is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Using the sine function: sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse = 20/24.

We first calculate the ratio: sin(x) = 20/24 = 0.8333.

To find the angle x, we take the inverse sine (also known as arcsine) of the ratio: x = arcsin(0.8333).

Using a calculator set to degree mode, we find that x ≈ 56.4° when we round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer:
________________________________________________________
The measurements of the 2 (TWO) supplementary angles are:
________________________________________________________

Explanation:
_________________________________________________
Two supplementary angles:
_________________________________________________
Angle 1:  "x:
_________________________________________________
Angle 2:  "(6 + 2x)"
_________________________________________________
        All supplementary angles, by definition, add up to 180 degrees,  so given that the 2 (two) angles are supplementary:

(x) + (6 + 2x) = 180 ;  Find "x"  and "(6 + 2x)" .
__________________________________________________
   x + 6 + 2x = 180 ;

      3x + 6 = 180 ;

   Subtract "6" from each side of the equation ;
___________________________________________________
      3x + 6 − 6  = 180 − 6 ;

          3x = 174 ;
___________________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "3"  ;
  to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;

          3x / 3 = 172 / 3 ;

               x = 58 ;
________________________________________________
So: 
________________________________________________
Angle 1:  "x" :  x = 58 .
________________________________________________
Angle 2:  "(6 + 2x)" =  " 6 + 2(58) = 122 .
________________________________________________
122 + 58 =? 180 ?  Yes!
________________________________________________
So, the measurements of the 2 (TWO) supplementary angles are:
           58° and 122° .

Line A
slope = (-1 - 5)/(3+1) = -6/4 = -3/2

b = 5 - 3/2
b = 7/2
equation of line A: y  = -3/2x + 7/2

Line B
slope = (-1 - 2)/(6-7) = -3/-1 = 3

let the number of '5' bill be y.

Total number of bills = 14

x + y = 14 ..[1]

Worth of 14 bills = 50

So,[tex]x\times 1+y\times 5=\$50[/tex]
