Given ΔABC and ΔXYZ are similar triangles. BC = x + 7, AC = x + 6, YZ = 4 − x, and XZ = 3 − x.

Similar triangles have sides in proportion.

\frac{BC}{YZ} =\frac{AC}{XZ}

Substituting the given values :

\frac{x+7}{4-x} =\frac{x+6}{3-x}

To solve for x we cross multiply

(x+7)(3-x)=(4-x)(x+6)

Using FOIL to multiply

3x-x^{2} +21-7x =4x+24-x^{2} -6x

Simplifying like terms

-4x+21=-2x+24

To solve for x we isolate the x term

Adding 2x both sides:

-4x+2x+21=24

-2x+21=24

Subtracting 24 both sides

-2x=24-21

-2x=3

Dividing by -2 we have x=-\frac{3}{2}

Option B is the right answer.

Pens cost 15 pence each.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The amount the school pays is £32.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of each pen = 15 pence

The cost of each ruler = 20 pence

The number of pens bought by the school = 150

The number of rulers bought by the school = 90

The cost reduction (discount) on the items bought = 1/5

Therefore, we have;

The total cost of the pens bought by the school = 150 × 15 = 2250 = £22.50

The total cost of the rulers bought by the school = 90 × 20 = 1800 = £18.00

The total cost of the writing materials (rulers and pens) bought by the school = £22.50 + £18.00 = £40.50

The discount = 1/5 total cost reduction = 1/5×£40.50  = $8.10

The amount the school pays = The total cost of the writing materials - The discount

The amount the school pays = £40.50 - $8.10 =  £32.40

The amount the school pays =  £32.40.

Find three different surfaces that contain the curve r(t) = t^2 i + lnt j + (1/t)k
Viefleur [7K]

solution:

Consider the curve: r(t) = t²i +(int)j + 1/t k

X= t² , y = int ,z = 1/t

Using, x = t², z = 1/t

                    X = (1/z)²

Xz²= 1

Using y = int, z= 1/t

Y = in│1/z│

Using x = t², y = int

Y = int

= in(√x)

Hence , the required surface are,

Xz² = 1

Y = in│1/z│

Y= in(√x)

Lets say that Williams current age is x, since it is currently unknown
From here we know that in 15 years (x+15) he will be 3 times his age 5 years prior (3x-5). Thus we can set these equations up as equal to one another
1) x + 15 = 3(x - 5)
2) x + 15 = 3x-15
3) 30= 2x
4) 15 = x
5) Now this age is his current age of 15 years, but they also want his age 15 years from now
The equation is x + 15 = 3(x - 5)

This should be correct now, sorry for the misconception. Good luck

Oil leaks out of a tanker at a rate of r=f(t) liters per minute, where t is in minutes. If f(t)=Ae^(−kt), write a definite integ
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The definite integral expressing the total quantity of oil, 'V', which leaks out of the tanker in the first hour is given as follows;

V = \int\limits^{60}_0 {A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t)}} \, dt

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The rate at which oil leaks out of the tanker, r = f(t)

The unit of the oil leak = Liters per minute

The unit of t = Minutes

If \ f(t) = A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t )}

Therefore, we have;

The definite integral expressing the total quantity, 'V', of oil which leaks out of the tanker in the first hour is given as follows;

V = \int\limits^{60}_0 {A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t)}} \, dt

Therefore, we have;

\int\limits^{60}_0 {A \cdot e^{(-k \cdot t)}} \, dt = \dfrac{A \cdot e ^{60 \cdot k} - A}{k \cdot e ^{60 \cdot k} }
