X=6.2
y=0.5x
y=0.5*6.2
y=3.1
z=14.5-x-y
z=14.5-6.2-3.1
z=5.2
each variable is a side

The shorter sides of an acute triangle are x cm and 2x cm. The longest side of the triangle is 15 cm. What is the smallest possi
Ierofanga [76]
For an acute angled triangle 

h^2 < x^2 + y^2      where h = longest side and x and y are the other 2 sides.

so here we have

15^2 <  x^2 + (2x)^2

15^2 <  5x^2

x^2 >  15*3 = 45
x > sqrt 45 or x > 6.7

So smallest whole number value of  x is 7

Pedro has created the function f(x)= 4x-3/2 to represent the number of assingments he has completed where x represents the numbe
Law Incorporation [45]
The given function is
f(x) = 4x - 3/2
where
f(x) = number of assignments completed
x =  number of weeks required to complete the assignments

We want to find f⁻¹ (30) as an estimate of the number of weeks required to complete 30 assignments.
The procedure is as follows:

1. Set y = f(x)
   y = 4x - 3/2

2. Exchange x and y
   x = 4y - 3/2

3. Solve for y
   4y = x + 3/2
   y = (x +3/2)/4

4. Set y equal to f⁻¹ (x)
  f⁻¹ (x) = (x + 3/2)/4

5. Find f⁻¹ (30)
  f⁻¹ (30) = (30 + 3/2)/4 = 63/8 = 8 (approxmately)

Answer:
Pedro needs about 8 weeks to complete 30 assignments.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

$45

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information;

  • Money invested (Principal) is $300
  • Rate of interest is 5% per annum
  • Time the money is invested is 3 years

We need to determine the amount of interest the money will earn after three years.

  • Simple interest is calculated by the formula;
  • Simple interest =(PRT) ÷ 100, Where P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest and T is the time.

Therefore, in this case;

Simple interest = ($300 × 5 × 3) ÷ 100

                         = $45

Thus, the money invested earned a simple interest of $45

andreyandreev [35.5K]
This is the concept of application of the Pythagorean theorem. The resultant speed of the motorboat which is crossing the river that has a northward current of 5 m/s at a speed of 8 m/s will be given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=8^2+5^2
c^2=64+25
c^2=89
c=sqrt89
c=9.4 m/s
