Answer:

5×1 +9×0.1
5.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The verbiage "five and nine tenths" can refer to the mixed number 5 9/10, or to the decimal in standard form, 5.9. Simply converting the phrase to a decimal gets you the standard form.

The expanded form can be written a number of ways, depending on how you like to show the place value multipliers. The simplest expanded form is simply the sum of the digits:

5 + 0.9

You can show the multipliers in standard form:

5×1 + 9×0.1

Or, you can show the multipliers in exponential form:

5×10⁰ +9×10⁻¹

What’s the angle it’s looking for ?

Law Incorporation [45]

Given:

m(ar KN) = 2x + 151

m(ar LN) = 61°

m∠NMK = 2x + 45

To find:

m∠NMK

Solution:

By property of circle:

<em>If a tangent and a secant intersect outside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one-half the positive difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.</em>

$$\Rightarrow m\angle NMK=\frac{1}{2} (m \ ar(KN) - m\ arLN))$

$$\Rightarrow 2x+45=\frac{1}{2} (2x + 151-61)$

$$\Rightarrow 2x+45=\frac{1}{2} (2x + 90)$

Multiply by 2 on both sides, we get

$$\Rightarrow 2\times (2x+45)=2\times \frac{1}{2} (2x + 90)$

$$\Rightarrow 4x+90=2x + 90$

Subtract 90 from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 4x+90-90=2x + 90-90$

$$\Rightarrow 4x=2x$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 4x-2x=2x-2x$

$$\Rightarrow 2x=0$

$$\Rightarrow x=0$

Substitute x= 0 in m∠NMK.

m∠NMK = 2x + 45

= 2(0) + 45

= 45

Therefore m∠NMK = 45.

A rectangular plot of land that contains 1500 square meters will be fenced and divided into two equal portions by an additional

WINSTONCH [101]

Let x = the length of the rectangle
Let w= the width

Two sections are required, hence 2w of fence required
2x+3w=500

this can be written as:
3w=1500-2x
w=(1500-2x)/3

Area=x*w
replacing w with our expression:
A=x(1500-2x)/3
A=(500x-2x^2)/3

This is a quadratic equation, if we find the axis of symmetry we will know what value of x gives maximum area:
Axis of symmetry: x=-b/2a
From our equation we get:
a=-2/3; b=1500/3
thus
x=(1500/3)/(-(-2/3))
x=750
thus the maximum area will be given by length of 750
