the base of a triangle is five less than twice it’s height, if the area of the triangle is 6 cm^2, find the length of the base

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Base = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle =  [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

Let h = height

base =  2 times the height - 5; b = 2h-5

Area = 6 cm²

 A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

[tex]6 =\frac{1}{2}(2h - 5)(h)[/tex]             Multiply 2h(h) -5(h)

[tex]6 (2) = 2(\frac{1}{2})(2h^{2} - 5h[/tex]      Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the fraction

 12 = 2h²- 5h

2h ² -  5h  - 12 = 0                Set the equation = 0 and factor  

(2h + 3)(h - 4) = 0

2h + 3 = 0    or h - 4 = 0

2h = -3               h = 4

h = -3/2        or   h = 4        Answer can not be negative so h = 4cm

The base is 2(4) - 5; The base = 8 - 5; base = 3 cm

Mr. Green’s hobby was restoring old houses. He recently purchased an old rundown house that needed a lot of repair, especially with the plumbing. The kitchen faucet dripped all day and night. It intrigued Mr. Green how much water dripped from this faucet in one day, but he surely didn’t want to sit and watch the faucet drip all day. So he figured that if he could discover how much water dripped within a certain time span, he could calculate the dripping rate for any time span. In his first observation he noted that 6 ounces of water dripped in 10 minutes.

A) Using Mr. Green’s observation, can you help him figure out how much water would have dripped in only 5 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

3 ounces of water

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 ounces of water dripped in 10 minutes, then that means that in HALF the time (5 minutes), HALF the amount of water would drip, which is 3 ounces.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Ted-1, Bill-10, Ian-8, Van-9, Cody-3, Sal-5, Violet-2, Sam-6, Will-4, Todd-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to this seems to be "there are seven people standing between Van and Ted." This means either Van or Ted is at one end of the line. There will be one person standing at the end beside whichever one of these is not at the end of the line.

Then "Van is standing between Bill and Ian, who is standing next to Todd" tells you it is not Van who is at the end, but it is Bill. This tells you the four tallest people in decreasing order are Bill, Van, Ian, and Todd. We know Bill is not the shortest, because Bill is taller than Todd. That means Ted is the shortest.

The next shorter people than Todd are Sam and Sal (Sam is between Sal and Todd).

At this point we know the order of 7 people: the 6 tallest, and the shortest. The remaining 3 are Violet, Cody, and Will. Since "Cody is taller than Violet, but shorter than Will," we know the final order, shortest to tallest, is ...

  Ted, Violet, Cody, Will, Sal, Sam, Todd, Ian, Van, Bill

y=5x+7y=2x+8

y=x+42y=2x+8

7x−y=10y=6x+8

Answers

Answer:

Question 1) Option C: 2(2x+1) = y, y = 2x + 8.

Question 4) Option C:  y = x + 4,  2y = 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Definitions:Perpendicular Lines

The graph of perpendicular lines will show an intersection of two lines at a single point, forming 90° adjacent angles. Since perpendicular lines intersect at exactly one point, then it means that they will have one solution.  Additionally, perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes for which multiplying the slopes of both lines result in a product of -1.

Coinciding Lines

Lines that have the same slope and y-intercept. Therefore, they are equivalent equations that will result in an infinitely many solutions. The graph of these lines will coincide on top of each other, as if they are the same line.  The systems of linear equations that result in an infinitely many solutions are dependent and consistent. They are dependent if they have an infinite number of solutions, and consistent because they have at least one solution.

Parallel lines

Parallel lines have the same slope.  A systems of linear equations whose graph involve parallel lines have no solution, as there is no point of intersection between those two lines.  Therefore, parallel lines have no solution, making it an inconsistent system.

Question 1:

We must transform these equations in its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, which will allow us to easily determine the type of lines a given system has based on their slopes.

Option A:

Equation 1:  2x + y = 10

Equation 2: y = −2x + 8

Transform Equation 1 to slope-intercept form:

2x + y = 10

Subtract 2x from both sides:

2x - 2x + y = - 2x + 10

y = -2x + 10  ⇒ This is the slope-intercept form of Equation 1.

Since Equations 1 and 2 have the same slope, but different y-intercepts, then it means that they are parallel lines that have no point of intersection.

Option B:

Transform both equations to slope-intercept form:

Equation 1:  2x + 4y = 10

                   [tex]\large\bf\sf{y\:=\:-\frac{1}{2}x\:+\:\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]  ⇒ This is the slope-intercept form of Equation 1.

Equation 2:  2(x+2y) = 10

Distribute 2 into the parenthesis:

2(x+2y) = 10

2x + 4y = 10  ⇒ It is clear at this point that this equation matches Equation 1. Thus, the slope-intercept form of Equation 2 will be the same:

[tex]\large\bf\sf{y\:=\:-\frac{1}{2}x\:+\:\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]  ⇒ Slope-intercept form of Equation 2.

It turns out that Equations 1 and 2 are equivalent, as they have exactly the same slope and y-intercept. Therefore, they have coinciding lines and have infinitely many solutions.

Option C:

Transform both equations to slope-intercept form:

Equation 1:  2(2x+1) = y

                    y = 4x + 2   Slope-intercept form of Equation 1.

Equation 2:  y = 2x + 8  

Option D:

Equation 1: y = 10 − 2x

                    y = − 2x + 10   This is the slope-intercept form of Equation 1.

Equation 2:  y = −2x + 7

Since Equations 1 and 2 have the same slope, but different y-intercept, then it means that they are parallel from each other.

Answer for Question 1:

Out of all the given four options, Option C seems to be the correct answer, since the given system has varying slopes and y-intercept.  Therefore, the correct answer for Question 1 is Option C:  2(2x+1) = y, y = 2x + 8.

Question 4:

For Question 4, I will not elaborate as thoroughly as in Question 1 since I'll be using the same techniques.

Option A)

Equation 1:  2x+ 7x + y = 6

Combine like terms:

2x+ 7x + y = 6

9x + y = 6

Subtract 9x from both sides:

9x - 9x + y = - 9x + 6

y = - 9x + 6 Slope-intercept form of Equation 1.  

Equation 2: y = 9x + 6

Option A Explanation:

Equations 1 and 2 have different slopes and the same y-intercept. This implies that they will have a point of intersection = one solution. However, they don't have perpendicular lines because their slopes are not negative reciprocal of each other.  Hence, Option A is not a valid answer for  question 4.

Option B)

Equation 1:  y = 5x + 7

Equation 2:  y = 2x + 8

Option B explanation:

Similar to Option A, Equations 1 and 2 have different slopes and varying y-intercepts. Since they are not parallel from each other, and do not have coinciding lines, then Option B is not a valid answer for  question 4.

Option C)

Equation 1:  y = x + 4

Equation 2:  2y = 2x + 8

Transform Equation 2 to Slope-intercept form:

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y:

[tex]\displaytext\mathsf{\frac{2y}{2}\:=\:\frac{2x\:+\:8}{2}}[/tex]

y = x + 4   This is the slope-intercept form of Equation 2.  

Option C explanation:

Equations 1 and 2 are equivalent, as they have exactly the same slope and y-intercept. They also have coinciding lines, having infinitely many solutions.  

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer for Question 4.

Option D)

Equation 1:  7x − y = 10

                    y = 7x - 10   This is the slope-intercept form of Equation 1.

Equation 2:  y = 6x + 8

Option D explanation:

Similar to Option B, Equations 1 and 2 have different slopes and varying y-intercepts. Since they are not parallel from each other, and do not have coinciding lines, then Option D is not a valid answer for  question 4.

What is the constant of proportionality K.

Answers

Answer:

K=2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I’m assuming that by constant of proportionality you mean slope of the line. To do that, you just figure out how y changes with x. The easiest way to do this is rise over run (y over x). If you look at the graph, there is a point that pass through (0,0) and another that passes through (5,2) so if you count how many spaces we moved up then how many spaces we moved right, you will get the slope of the line. Spaces moved up are 2-0=2 and spaced moved right are 5-0=5. Use rise over run which is going to be 2/5. So, K=2/5.
