The interior angle of the regular octagon below measures 135º, and the
octagon has rotational symmetry. Which of the following is the measure of an
interior angle after a 90° rotation around the point of symmetry?

The Interior Angle Of The Regular Octagon Below Measures 135, And Theoctagon Has Rotational Symmetry.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape won't change, it won't deform, nothing will happen to the interior angle.

This figure is symmetric and not deformed, so the measure of the interior angle won't change no matter how many times you rotate it.

So the interior angle would still be 135º.

Beverly has $50 to spend at an amusement park. Admission to the park is $15. She plans to spend $10 on food. Each ride costs $1.50. What is the maximum number of rides she can ride?

1. Define a variable for this situation.
2. Write an inequality to represent the possible number of rides she can ride.
3.Solve the inequality from #2 to determine the maximum number of rides she can ride.
4.5. If Beverly rides the maximum number of rides possible, will she have spent the entire $50? If she has not spent the entire $50, how much money is left over? Support your answer with an explanation and/or calculations.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = number of rides

total amount of money spent has to be less than  or equal to 50

costs are admission and food and rides

rides cost 1.50 each

50≥ admission + food + rides

50 ≥ 15 +10 + 1.50r

Combine like terms

50 ≥25 + 1.50 r

Subtract 25 from each side

50-25 ≥25-25 + 1.50 r

25  ≥ 1.50 r

Divide by 1.5 on each side

25/1.5 ≥ 1.5r/1.5

50/3  ≥ r

Changing this to a mixed number

16 2/3  ≥r

We can only take a whole number of rides

r = 16

Beverly has not spent all of her 50 dollars since there was a fraction for the rides

cost =  15 +10 + 1.50r

        15+10 + 1.5*16

            25+24

           49

She has 1 dollar left

Suppose the sound wave has the form y=7cos(3x-pi/6) for x in the interval [pi/6 , 7pi/18]. Express x as a function of y, and state the domain of your function.

Answers

Answer:

x = ⅓ acos(y/7) + π/18, [-7, 7/2]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 7 cos(3x − π/6)

Solving for x:

y/7 = cos(3x − π/6)

acos(y/7) = 3x − π/6

acos(y/7) + π/6 = 3x

x = ⅓ acos(y/7) + π/18

The domain of x is the same as the range of y.

When x = π/6:

y = 7 cos(3π/6 − π/6)

y = 7 cos(π/3)

y = 7/2

When x = 7π/18:

y = 7 cos(21π/18 − π/6)

y = 7 cos(π)

y = -7

So the domain of x as a function of y is [-7, 7/2].

Need help fast!!!!!!!!!!! Discuss how to convert the standard form of the equation of a circle to the general form. 50 points

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a circle is

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

where h, k an r are real numbers that can be added at the end.

First, to get to the general form of a circle, you have to expand the binomials. Meaning,

[tex](x-h)^2=x^2-2xh+h^2[/tex] and

[tex](y-k)^2=y^2-2yk+k^2[/tex].

After you do this, then the h^2, k^2, and r^2 terms can be added together to give you one number. Then put everything else in descending order, like this:

[tex]x^2+y^2-(2h)x-(2y)k+(h^2k^2r^2)=0[/tex]

It's very hard to describe when there are no values assigned to the h, k, and r in the equation.

Basic idea:

Expand the binomials and add like terms, setting the whole thing equal to 0.

Which set of numbers can represent the side lengths, in millimeters, of an obtuse triangle?A. 8, 10, 14B. 9, 12, 15C. 10, 14, 17D. 12, 15, 19

Answers

Answer:

  A.  8, 10, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rough cut, a triangle will be obtuse if the longest side is about 1.4 or more times the length of the second-longest side. This derives from the relationship in an isosceles right triangle, where the hypotenuse is √2 ≈ 1.414 times the length of the two equal-length sides. If one side is shorter than the other, and the hypotenuse is still 1.414 times the length of the second-longest side, then the triangle is no longer a right triangle, but is an obtuse triangle.

Here, the first selection has a middle-length side of 10 and a longest side of 14, about 1.4 times 10. It is an obtuse triangle.

_____

More rigorously, you can see if the sum of the squares of the short sides is less than the square of the longest side. If so, the triangle is obtuse. (The Law of Cosines will tell you the angle opposite the longest side must have a negative cosine, so must be greater than 90°.)

Our answer choices are ...

  A. 8^2 + 10^2 = 164 < 14^2 = 196 . . . . . obtuse

Answers

Answer:

The exact volume of the part is 390pi in.^3

Using pi = 3.14, the approximate volume of the part is 1224.6 in.^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the large cone and the volume of the small cone. The subtract the small volume from the large volume.

Large cone:

V = (1/3)(pi)r^2h

V = (1/3)(pi)(9 in.)^2(15 in.)

V = 405pi in.^3

Small cone:

V = (1/3)(pi)r^2h

V = (1/3)(pi)(3 in.)^2(5 in.)

V = 15pi in.^3

Difference in volumes:

volume of part = 405pi in.^3 - 15pi in.^3 = 390pi in.^3

The exact volume of the part is 390pi in.^3

Using pi = 3.14, the approximate volume of the part is 1224.6 in.^3

8. The aquarium has 6 fewer yellow fish than green fish. 40 percent of the fish are yellow. How many green fish are in the aquarium? Show your work.

Answers

Question 1:

For this case we have that the function [tex]f (x) = \frac {5x} {x ^ 2-25}[/tex] is undefined or discontinuous where the denominator equals 0.

[tex]x ^ 2-25 = 0\\x ^ 2 = 25\\x = \pm \sqrt {25}\\x_ {1} = + 5\\x_ {2} = - 5[/tex]

Thus, the function is undefined or discontinuous at +5 and -5.

To find the zeros of the function we match the function to zero and clear "x":

[tex]\frac {5x} {x ^ 2-25} = 0[/tex]

Factoring the denominator, taking into account that the roots are -5 and +5:

[tex]\frac {5x} {(x + 5) (x-5)} = 0[/tex]

We multiply by[tex](x + 5) (x-5)[/tex]on both sides of the equation:

[tex]5x = 0\\x = 0[/tex]

ANswer:

Discontinuity: + 5, -5

Zero: x = 0

Question 2:

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Be the variable that represents the yellow fish

y: Be the variable that represents the green fish

[tex]x = y-6\\x = 0.4 (x + y)[/tex]

We manipulate the second equation:

[tex]x = 0.4x + 0.4y\\x-0.4x = 0.4y\\0.6x = 0.4y\\y = \frac {0.6} {0.4} x\\y = 1.5x[/tex]

We substitute in the first equation:

[tex]x = y-6\\x = 1.5x-6\\x-1.5x = -6\\-0.5x = -6\\x = \frac {-6} {- 0.5}\\x = 12[/tex]

So, we have 12 yellow fish in the aquarium.

[tex]y = 1.5 * 12\\y = 18[/tex]

So, we have 18 green fish.

Answer:

12 yellow fish

18 green fish

A rectangle has a length of 9 centimeters and a width of x centimeters. The perimeter of the rectangle is 28 centimeters. What is the value of x?

NEED HELP!!

Answers

Answer:

x=5

Knowing that the length of the rectangle is 9, we can simply multiply this by 2 since there are two sides that will equal the same. This gets us 18. If we subtract that from 28, we get 10. There are four sides in a rectangle, meaning we have two sides left. This leaves us to divide 10 by two to get a final answer of the width of the retangle being 5 centimeters.

Final answer:

The value of x, which represents the width of the rectangle, can be found by inserting the given length and perimeter into the perimeter formula of a rectangle, P = 2L + 2W. Then, solve for W to get the value of x.

Explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is to understand the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. This formula is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length and W is the width. We know that the length (L) is 9 cm and the perimeter (P) is 28 cm based on the problem given. We are looking to find the value for x which represents the width (W).

Let's substitute the given values into the formula:
28 = 2(9) + 2W.

This simplifies to:
28 = 18 + 2W.

Now, let's solve for W by subtracting 18 from both sides of the equation:
10 = 2W.

To isolate W, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
W = 5
So, the value of x, which represents the width of the rectangle, is 5 cm.

A bag contains purple marbles and blue marbles ,27 in total . The number of purple marbles is 3 less than 4 times the number of blue marbles . How many purple marbles are there

Answers

[tex]p+b=27\\p=4b-3\\\\4b-3+b=27\\5b=30\\b=6\\\\p+6=27\\p=21[/tex]

21

Final answer:

To determine the number of purple marbles, we can use a system of linear equations derived from the problem's conditions. Solving these gives us 21 purple marbles in the bag.

Explanation:

To solve the problem, let's denote the number of blue marbles as x and the number of purple marbles as y. According to the problem, the total number of marbles is 27, which is our first equation, x + y = 27. Additionally, the number of purple marbles is 3 less than 4 times the number of blue marbles, giving us a second equation, y = 4x - 3.

Now, we'll solve for x using substitution. We place the expression for y from the second equation into the first equation:

x + (4x - 3) = 27

5x - 3 = 27

5x = 30

x = 6

Since x is 6, we can find y by substituting back into the second equation:

y = 4(6) - 3

y = 24 - 3

y = 21

There are therefore 21 purple marbles in the bag.

Find the value of x in the following equation: x/2 + 2x/5 = 18 A. x = 11/2 B. x = 2 C. x = 255/7 D. x = 20

Answers

Answer: x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by 10 ( next LCF )

10 ( x / 2 + 2x / 5 ) = 18 * 10

5x + 4x = 180

9x = 180

x = 20

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{2x}{5} = 18[/tex] has the unique solution x = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has the equivalences

[tex]\displaystyle\frac{x}{2} + \frac{2x}{5} = 18 \Leftrightarrow x\left( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{5} \right) = 18 \Leftrightarrow x \left( \frac{9}{10} \right) = 18 \Leftrightarrow x = 18 \cdot \frac{10}{9} = 20.[/tex]
