Triangle X Y Z is shown. Angle Z W X is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point W to point Y on side Z X to form a right

angle. The length of W Y is 4, the length of Y X is a, the length of Z Y is 3, the length of Z W is c, and the length of W X is b. What is the value of a? 5 units 5 and one-third units 6 and two-thirds units 7 units

Answer:

5 and one-third units

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, we are given the following values:

The length of W Y = 4

The length of Y X = a

The length of Z Y = 3

We are to find a

From the describe diagram above, we would have the following

WY:ZY = YX :WY

WY/ ZY = YX/WY

4/3= a/4

Cross Multiply

4× 4 = 3a

Divide both sides by 3

a = 16/3

a = 5 1/3 units

a = 5 and one third units

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 6x2 + 12x – 7?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is of the form: ax^2+bx+c= 0 .....[1] where

a. b and c are coefficient and x is the variable.

The solutions of the equation are;

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Given the function: f(x) = 6x^2+12x-7

To find the zero of this function.

Set f(x) = 0

⇒6x^2+12x-7=0

On comparing this with equation [1] we have;

a = 6, b = 12 and c = -7

then;

x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{(12)^2-4(6)(-7)}}{2(6)}

x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{144+168}}{12}

or

x = \frac{-12\pm\sqrt{312}}{12}

or

x = \frac{-12\pm 2\sqrt{78}}{12}

x = \frac{-6\pm \sqrt{78}}{6}

Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) are;

\frac{-6+\sqrt{78}}{6} and \frac{-6-\sqrt{78}}{6}

On a certain​ route, an airline carries 7000 passengers per​ month, each paying ​$30. A market survey indicates that for each​ $
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The ticket price that maximizes revenue is $50.

The maximum monthly revenue is $250,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write a function that describes the revenue of the airline.

We know one point of this function: when the price is $30, the amount of passengers is 7000.

We also know that for an increase of $1 in the ticket price, the amount of passengers will decrease by 100.

Then, we can write the revenue as the multiplication of price and passengers:

R=p\cdot N=(30+x)(7000-x)

where x is the variation in the price of the ticket.

Then, if we derive R in function of x, and equal to 0, we will have the value of x that maximizes the revenue.

R(x)=(30+x)(7000-100x)=30\cdot7000-30\cdot100x+7000x-100x^2\\\\R(x)=-100x^2+(7000-3000)x+210000\\\\R(x)=-100x^2+4000x+210000\\\\\\\dfrac{dR}{dx}=100(-2x)+4000=0\\\\\\200x=4000\\\\x=4000/200=20

We know that the increment in price (from the $30 level) that maximizes the revenue is $20, so the price should be:

p=30+x=30+20=50

The maximum monthly revenue is:

R(x)=(30+x)(7000-100x)\\\\R(20)=(30+20)(7000-100\cdot20)\\\\R(20)=50\cdot5000\\\\R(20)=250000

What do the differences between the points (as shown on the graph) represent?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

They represent the rise and run of the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The difference between the x-axis of the points represents the "run" of the graph (or how much you should run along x-axis to get to the next point.)</em>

<em>The difference between the y-axis of of the points represents the "rise" of the graph (or how much you should rise up the y-xis to get to the next point).</em>

The ratio of rise to run is the slope of the graph, which tells us  how many steps should we take on the y-axis for every step we move forward on the x-axis.

Anna and Lionel share $675 in the ratio 4 : 5 Lionel gives 3/5 of his share of the money to his mother. How much money does Lion
Alika [10]

Answer:

$225

Step-by-step explanation:

Total share ratio = 4+5 = 9

Lionel's ratio = 5

Lionel's share = (5/9) × 675

                       = $375

Lionel's mum = (3/5) x 375

                      = $225
