Answer:

option: C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the side PQ ; we need to first find the length of the given line segment which is perpendicular to side PR; let name it as QS.

Now as ΔQSR is an right angled triangle.

and the length of the side QR and SR is given , so using Pythagorean theorem we have

$QR^{2}=SR^{2}+QS^{2}$

$5^{2}=3^{2}+QS^{2}\\ \\QS^{2}=5^{2}-3^{2}\\\\QS^{2}=25-3=16=4^2$

⇒ QS=4

Now again ΔQSP is an right angled triangle; so using Pythagorean theorem in ΔQSP we have

$PQ^{2}=QS^{2}+PS^{2}\\ \\PQ^{2}=4^{2}+6^{2}=16+36=52$

This means $QS=\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}$

Hence, the length of side PQ is $\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}$ .

Hence, option C is correct.

In the figure above, two line segments in the x-y plane form a right triangle with the x-axis. What is the area of the triangle

Juli2301 [7.4K]

A = (1/2) * b * h
The base is 10; the x-value going from 0 to 10.
The perpendicular height is 2; the y-value going from 0 to 2
A = (1/2) * 10 * 2
A = 10 units ^2

The table gives the probabilities that new cars of different models will have brake failure. The car model that is least likely

melamori03 [73]

All the information we have are the probabilities, and what we need is the lowest number: so let's choose the smallest probability among the numbers: 0.0065%, B 0.0037%,C 0.0108%,D 0.0029%, E 0.0145%. The smallest of the numbers is 0.0029% -it starts with two 00s and the number that follows, 2, is smaller than all there others - so the smallest probability is in option D - and the model would be the corresponding model (but we're missing some information here)

The indicated function y1(x) is a solution of the associated homogeneous equation. Use the method of reduction of order to find

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

y2 = (6x + 7)/36 + (Dx + E)e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of reduction of order is applicable for second-order differential equations.

For a known solution y1 of a 2nd order differential equation, this method assumes a second solution in the form Uy1 which satisfies the said differential equation. It then assumes a reduced order for U'' (w' = U'').

The differential equation becomes easy to solve, and all that is left are integration and substitutions.

a lunch stand makes a $.75 profit on each chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each caesar salad. On a typical weekday, it sells bet

tangare [24]

Answer:

50 Chef's salads and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared in order to maximize profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of Chef's salad is $x$ and the number of Caesar salad is $y$

On a typical weekday, it sells between 40 and 60 Chefs salads and between 35 and 50 Caesar salads.

So, the two constraints are: $40\leq x\leq 60$ and $35\leq y\leq 50$

The total number sold has never exceed 100 salads. So, another constraint will be: $x+y\leq 100$

According to the graph of the constraints, the vertices of the common shaded region are: $(40,35), (60,35), (60,40), (50,50)$ and $(40,50)$ (Refer to the attached image for the graph)
