Aseem and Stana are building model cars. Stana's car is 5 less than 2 times the length of Aseem's car. The sum of the lengths of

both cars is 20 inches. Write an equation to determine the lengths of Aseem's and Stana's cars.
1. 2x − 5 + x = 20
2. 5 − 2x + x = 20
3. 2x − 5 = 20
4. 5 − 2x = 20

Answer:

1. 2x - 5 + x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Aseem's car as x,

Stana's = 5 less than 2x

= 2x - 5

Aseem's + Stana's = 20

x + 2x - 5 = 20

2x - 5 + x = 20

Answer:

Equation to determine the lengths of Aseem's and Stana's cars is:

1. 2x − 5 + x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of Aseem's car= x

Stana's car is 5 less than 2 times the length of Aseem's car.

i.e. Length of Stana's car= 2x-5

The sum of the lengths of both cars is 20 inches.

i.e. 2x-5+x= 20

Hence, equation to determine the lengths of Aseem's and Stana's cars is:

1. 2x − 5 + x = 20

In this problem, the ratios are inversely proportional. Find the missing value. If R1 = 6, R2 = 8, and I1 = 12, what is the valu

Drupady [299]

Answer:

$I_2=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been told that the ratios are inversely proportional in our given problem. We are asked to find the missing value.

We know that two inversely proportional quantities are in form $y=\frac{k}{x}$ , where, y is inversely proportional to x and k is the constant of proportionality.

Let us find constant of proportionality using $R_1 = 6$ and $I_1 = 12$ in above equation.

$6=\frac{k}{12}$

$6*12=\frac{k}{12}*12$

$72=k$

Now, we will use $72=k$ and $R_2 = 8$ in our equation to find $I_2$ as:

$8=\frac{72}{I_2}$

$I_2=\frac{72}{8}$

$I_2=9$

Therefore, the value of $I_2$ is 9.

Which equation is y = 3(x – 2)2 – (x – 5)2 rewritten in vertex form? Y = 3 (x minus seven-halves) squared minus StartFraction 27

densk [106]

Answer: y = 2 (x minus one-half) squared minus StartFraction 27 Over 2 EndFraction

or

$y=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2)-\dfrac{27}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of equation : $f (x) = a(x - h)^2 + k,$ where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

$y=3(x-2)^2-(x-5)^2\\\\=3(x^2+4-4x)-(x^2+25-10x)\\\\=3x^2+12-12x-x^2-25+10x\\\\=2x^2-2x-13\\\\=2(x^2-x-\dfrac{13}{2})\\\\=2(x^2-x+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{13}{2})\\\\=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2-\dfrac{1+26}{4})\\\\=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2-\dfrac{27}{4})=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2)-\dfrac{27}{2}$

Hence, the vertex form of the equation is $y=2((x-\dfrac{1}{2})^2)-\dfrac{27}{2}$

Given the general identity tan X =sin X/cos X , which equation relating the acute angles, A and C, of a right ∆ABC is true?

irakobra [83]

First, note that $m\angle A+m\angle C=90^{\circ}.$ Then

$m\angle A=90^{\circ}-m\angle C \text{ and } m\angle C=90^{\circ}-m\angle A.$

Consider all options:

A.

$\tan A=\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}$

By the definition,

$\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB},\\ \\\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC},\\ \\\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\sin A}{\sin C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\tan A.$

Option A is true.

B.

$\cos A=\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan (90^{\circ}-A)=\dfrac{\sin(90^{\circ}-A)}{\cos(90^{\circ}-A)}=\dfrac{\sin C}{\cos C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB}{BC},\\ \\\sin (90^{\circ}-C)=\sin A=\dfrac{BC}{AC}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\tan (90^{\circ}-A)}{\sin (90^{\circ}-C)}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AC}}=\dfrac{AB\cdot AC}{BC^2}\neq \dfrac{AB}{AC}.$

Option B is false.

3.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

Now

$\dfrac{\cos A}{\tan C}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{AB}{BC}}=\dfrac{BC}{AC}\neq \sin C.$

Option C is false.

D.

$\cos A=\tan C.$

By the definition,

$\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan C=\dfrac{AB}{BC}.$

As you can see $\cos A\neq \tan C$ and option D is not true.

E.

$\sin C = \dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}.$

By the definition,

$\sin C=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\cos (90^{\circ}-C)=\cos A=\dfrac{AB}{AC},\\ \\\tan A=\dfrac{BC}{AB}.$

Then

$\dfrac{\cos(90^{\circ}-C)}{\tan A}=\dfrac{\dfrac{AB}{AC}}{\dfrac{BC}{AB}}=\dfrac{AB^2}{AC\cdot BC}\neq \sin C.$

This option is false.

A gym is considering changing its operating hours at multiple locations in a city. The gym management wants to know what percent

Marrrta [24]

You don't need the names since there is 4367, and that would only be about 1/9th of the whole amount of members, so b is out of the question. you need average people to make it, so d is out of the question, and picking a random letter out of the alphabet is as arbitrary as a, but you are adding the effect of Inconsistency so I would say Let the gym management decide which members should be surveyed is the right answer
