Answer:

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have that

The line BH bisects angle EBC,

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

then

m∠EBC=m∠EBH+m∠HBC

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

so

m∠EBC=2(m∠EBH)

substitute the given values and solve for a

31a-2=2(4a+45)\\31a-2=8a+90\\31a-8a=92\\23a=92\\a=4

<em>Find the measure of angle EBH</em>

m∠EBH=(4(4)+45)=61°

Remember that

m∠EBH=m∠HBC

therefore

The measure of angle HBC is m∠HBC=61°

A botanist predicts that the height of a certain tree will increase by 2% every year. If the height of the tree is now 50 feet,
Neporo4naja [7]
To answer this kinda question, we gotta tackle it year by year. 
By the end of the first year, the tree would grow by 2% = 102% of its original height.
Year 1: 102% x 50 = 51 feet
Year 2: 103% x 51 = 52.02 feet

Hope I helped!! xx

A rock is thrown in the air from the edge of a seaside cliff. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 8x – 9), whe
algol13
Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:
0 = -16(x^2-8x-9)

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:
0 = x^2-8x-9

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":
0 = ax^2 + bx + c

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:
0 = (x-9)(x+1)

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is "It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."

Nevin made tables of values to approximate the solution to a system of equations. First he found that the x-value of the solutio
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation are

y=4x-3

y=-5x+9

On solving both the equation, we get

4x-3=-5x+9

4x+5x=9+3

9x=12

9x=\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}

Put this value in the given equation.

y=4(\frac{4}{3})-3

y=\frac{16}{3}-3

y=\frac{16-9}{3}

y=\frac{7}{3}

The solution of the given system of equation is

(\frac{4}{3},\frac{7}{3})=(1.333,2.333)\approx (1.3,2.3)

The best approximation of the exact solution is (1.3,2.3). Therefore the correct option is B.
