Answer:

Option A : $x=\sqrt{60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Pythagoras theorem here.

We have the hypotenuse as 8 units

We have the base as x and perpendicular side as 2 units.

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$x^{2} +2^{2} =8^{2}$

=> $x^{2} +4=64$

=> $x^{2} =64-4$

=> $x^{2} =60$

=> $x=\sqrt{60}$

Hence, option A is the answer.

Answer: A, x = square root of 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

8^2 = 2^2 + x^2

x^2 = 8^2 - 2^2

x^2 = 64 - 4

x^2 = 60

x = sqrt of 60

O find the minimum value of the quadratic expression −4x2+8x−25,

fredd [130]

Answer:

Marla didn't use the right steps to complete the square. Maria made a mistake in step 1, she put 8x instead of -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-4x^{2}+8x-25$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

Find the vertex

step 1

Factor the leading coefficient -4

$-4(x^{2}-2x)-25$

step 2

Complete the square

$-4(x^{2}-2x+1-1)-25$

step 3

$-4(x^{2}-2x+1)-25+4$

$-4(x^{2}-2x+1)-21$

step 4

Rewrite as perfect squares

$-4(x-1)^{2}-21$

the vertex is the point (1,-21)

The maximum value of the quadratic equation is (1,-21)

therefore

Marla didn't use the right steps to complete the square. Maria made a mistake in step 1, she put 8x instead of -2x

Which lines are parallel if M^4 +M^5? Justify your answer.

Igoryamba

Opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal, so angle 1 is the same as angle 4. That means angle 1 = angle 5 as well.

<span>When a line intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are equal. That is, if r and s are parallel, then the angles formed when l intersects r are the same s the angles formed when l intersects s. Angle 1 = Angle 5, Angle 2 = Angle 6, and so forth. Since we know angle 1 = angle 5, so from that you can see that r and s are parallel</span>

On a recent road trip, Mr. Yost drove 210 miles in 3 1/2 hours. Find both the miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mil

amid [387]

Miles driven per hour is 60 miles per hour

Hours driven per mile is 0.01667 hours per mile

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

On a recent road trip, Mr. Yost drove 210 miles in 3 1/2 hours

Therefore,

Miles driven = 210 miles

$Time\ taken = 3\frac{1}{2}\ hour = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5\ hour$

To find: miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mile

<h3><u>Miles driven per hour</u></h3>

$\frac{miles}{hour} = \frac{210}{3.5}\\\\\frac{miles}{hour} = 60\ miles\ per\ hour$

<h3><u>Hours driven per mile</u></h3>

$\frac{hours}{miles} = \frac{3.5}{210}\\\\\frac{hours}{miles} = 0.01667\ hours\ per\ miles$

Thus both the miles driven per hour and the hours driven per mile are found
