A pentagon has 3 congruent sides and 2 other congruent sides. The perimeter of the pentagon is 36 centimeters. The three long congruent sides are 2 centimeters longer than the two shorter congruent sides.

Let x = length of a short side
Let y = length of a long side

The system of equations can be used to represent the situation.

y = x + 2
2x + 3y = 36

What is the length of one of the shorter congruent sides?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The shorter side of pentagon is 6cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two equations are:

[tex]y = x + 2\\2x + 3y = 36[/tex]

We can use any one of the methods to solve the simultaneous linear equations

As it is also given that x is the length of shorter side, we have to find the value of x

Using the substitution method

We will put the value of y i.e. x+2 in the 2nd equation

So,

[tex]2x+3(x+2) = 36[/tex]

Simplification gives us:

[tex]2x+3x+6 = 36\\5x+6 = 36\\5x = 36-6\\5x = 30\\x = \frac{30}{5}\\x =6[/tex]

Hence,

The shorter side of pentagon is 6cm long

B. g(x) = a + 2
C. g(x) = 27

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = [tex]2(\sqrt[3]{x})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function given in the graph attached is,

f(x) = [tex]\sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]

Function 'f' passes through a point (1, 1).

If the parent function is stretched vertically by 'k' unit,

Transformed function will be,

g(x) = k.f(x)

Therefore, the image of the parent function will be,

g(x) = [tex]k(\sqrt[3]{x})[/tex]

Since, the given function passes through (1, 2)

g(1) = [tex]k(\sqrt[3]{1})[/tex] = 2

⇒ k = 2

Therefore, image of the function 'f' will be,

g(x) = [tex]2(\sqrt[3]{x})[/tex]

The equation y = [tex]-\frac{8}{7}[/tex] x - 7 represents a line perpendicular to the given line

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the slopes of the perpendicular lines is -1, which means if the slope of one line is m, then the slope of the perpendicular line to it is [tex]\frac{-1}{m}[/tex] (negative reciprocal)

The slope of the equation ax + by = c is [tex]\frac{-a}{b}[/tex], where a, b, c are constantThe slope of the equation y = m x + b is m

Let us solve the question

∵ The equation of the given line is 7x - 8y = 16

a = 7 and b = -8

→ Use the rule above to find the slope of it

∵ The slope of the given line = [tex]\frac{-7}{-8}[/tex]

The slope of the given line = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]

To find the slope of the perpendicular line to it reciprocal the fraction and change its sign

The slope of the perpendicular line = [tex]-\frac{8}{7}[/tex]

→ Look at the answer to find the equation which has this slope

The equation of the perpendicular line is y = [tex]-\frac{8}{7}[/tex] x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

current ages

Bill is 8

Jenny is 6

and Phil is 4

the dad is  36

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p, b, j, d represent the ages of Phil, Bill, Jenny, and Dad. We are given the relations ...

  b = 2p

  j = b -2

  2(p +b +j) = d

  (p+9) +(b+9) +(j+9) = d+9

_____

Solving the last equation for d, we get ...

  (p +b +j) +18 = d

Substituting for the sum of p, b, j in the third equation, we have ...

  2(d -18) = d

  d = 36 . . . . . . . . add 36-d

Substituting for b and j in the third equation, we get ...

  2(p +(2p) +(2p-2)) = 36 . . . . .  uses b=2p in the 2nd equation

  10p -4 = 36 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  p = 40/10 = 4 . . . . . . add 4; divide by 10

  b = 2p = 8

  j = b -2 = 6

Jenny's current age is 6.

  Bill: 8; Jenny: 6; Phil: 4; Dad: 36

A school club wants to collect at least 500 canned goods for a school food drive. The club has already collected 30 canned goods
Part A
If 10 club members each collect the same number of canned goods, which inequality represents the minimum number of canned goods, n, each club
member must select for the club to meet the goals?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 10n ≥ 470.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the school club wants to collect at least 500 canned goods, then we know that they don't want to collect any less: they must collet 500 or more canned goods.

They already collected 30 canned goods, therefore we can subtract this quantity from out goal.

500 - 30 = 470

Since there are 10 club members, the number of members multiplied by "n" the minimum amount of canned goods that they can collect, will equal the total amount of canned goods that they need.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the graph

First, we need to make a table.

To do this, we assume values for x

When [tex]x = 1[/tex]

[tex]y = x = 1[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (1,1)[/tex]

When [tex]x = 2[/tex]

[tex]y = x = 2[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (2,2)[/tex]

When [tex]x = 3[/tex]

[tex]y = x = 3[/tex]

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (3,3)[/tex]

When [tex]x = 4[/tex]

[tex]y = x = 4[/tex]

[tex](x_4,y_4) = (4,4)[/tex]

So, the table is:

An experiment consists of rolling two fair dice and adding the dots on the two sides facing up. What is the probability that the sun of the dots is 7 or 11

Answers

Answer:

4 /9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of faces on a number cube = 6

Sample space for two number faces = 6² = 36

Probability that sum of a roll is 7 or 11:

Probability = number required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Number of Required outcome = number of 7's + number of 11's

Number of 7's = 6

Number of 11's = 2

Total = 8

Total possible outcomes = 6² =36

P(sum of 7 or 11 ) = 8 /36 = 4 /9

c(x) =

if 81,000 < x < $1,200
if x > $1,200

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the profit made from sales and c(x) the commission based on sells. If the profit is less  then $1000,they 21%, hence:

if x < 1000, c(x) = 0.21x

If the profit is less  between $1000 and $1200,they 22.5%, hence:

if 1000 < x < 1200, c(x) = 0.225x

If the profit is  greater than $1200,they 23.5%, hence:

if x > 1200, c(x) = 0.235x

Therefore the commission represented as a piecewise function is:

[tex]c(x)=\left \{ {{0.21x\ \ x<1000} \atop {0.225x\ \ 1200<x<1000}} \atop {0.235x\ \ x>1200} \right.[/tex]

Let Time = t

2000 * 0.05 * t = 100t

(33000 * 0.05 * t) = 1650t

1650t - 100t = 50

1550t = 50
