The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 7.5m, and the length of a leg is 2m. Find the length of the base.

Answers

Answer 1
The legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent; they have the same length, so if one leg measures 2 m, the other leg also measures 2 m.

2m + 2m + b = 7.5 m

b + 4 m = 7.5 m

b = 3.5 m

The length of the base is 3.5 m.
Answer 2

As per linear equation, the length of the base is 3.5m.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation that has the highest power of the variable as 1.

Given, the perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 7.5m.

The length of a leg is 2m.

Therefore, the length of the other leg is 2m.

Let, the length of the base is 'x'.

Therefore, [tex](2 + 2 + x) = 7.5[/tex]

⇒ [tex]4 + x = 7.5[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 7.5-4[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]

If you travel 156 miles on 4 gallons of gasoline how far can you travel on 12 gallons how many miles on 6 gallons

Answers

6 gallons should be 234 miles and 12 should be 468

You can travel a distance of 468 miles on 12 gallons of gasoline and a distance of 234 miles on 6 gallons of gasoline.

What is Proportion?

Proportion is the setting of two or more ratios to be equal.

That is, if there is a ratio between a and b and another ratio between c and d, then we can say that,

a : b = c : d ⇒ a/b = c/d ⇒ a d = b c

We have,

Distance travelled is 156 miles on 4 gallons of gasoline.

We have to find the distance travelled on 12 gallons and 6 gallons of gasoline.

Let x be the distance travelled on 12 gallons of gasoline and y be the distance travelled on 6 gallons of  gasoline.

We have a proportional relation here,

156 : 4 = x : 12 = y : 6

First taking the relation,

156 : 4 = x : 12

⇒ 156/4 = x/12

⇒ 39 = x/12

⇒ x = 39 × 12

⇒ x = 468

Taking the second relation,

156 : 4 = y : 6

⇒ 156/4 = y/6

⇒ 39 = y/6

⇒ y = 39 × 6

⇒ y = 234

Hence you can travel 468 miles on 12 gallons and 234 miles on 6 gallons.

2. Consider the function . a.) Find the inverse of f(x) and name it g(x). Show and explain your work. b.) Use composition to show that f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other. c.) Draw the graphs of f(x) and g(x) on the same coordinate plane. Explain what about your graph shows that the functions are inverses of each other.

First correct answer will get 25 pts and brainliest!!!! So please help! :D

Answers

Part A:

Given that [tex]f(x)= \frac{1}{3} x+2[/tex], we find the inverse g(x) as follows:

First, we rewrite the function as: [tex]y=\frac{1}{3} x+2[/tex]

Next, we switch x and y and then solve for y as follows:

[tex]x=\frac{1}{3} y+2 \\ \\ \frac{1}{3} y=x-2 \\ \\ y=3(x-2) \\ \\ y=3x-6[/tex]

We then rewrite the equation using function notation to get:

[tex]g(x)=3x-6[/tex]



Part B:

For two function that are inverse of each other, the composition of the two functions gives x.

Thus,

[tex]f \circ g=f(g(x))=f(3x-6)= \frac{1}{3} (3x-6)+2=x-2+2=x \\ \\ g\circ f=g(f(x))=g( \frac{1}{3} x+2)=3( \frac{1}{3} x+2)-6=x+6-6=x \\ \\ \therefore f\circ g=g\circ f=x[/tex]

Since, f o g = g o f = x, hence g(x) is the inverse of f(x).



Part C:

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are attached.

From the graph it can be seen that the prperties of both graphs are similar, the properties of one graph in the x-axis correspond to the properties of the other graph in the y-axis and vice-versa. Also, the two lines intersect at a point were x = y.

If y = 15 when X=12 find Y when X=32

Answers

Y should equal 40 if you set it up in a proportion.
Final answer:

By acknowledging the linear relationship between X and Y, we set up a proportion based on the given values and solve for Y when X = 32, finding Y approximately equals 40.

Explanation:

This problem relates to the concept of

linear relationships

in mathematics. By understanding the relationship between two variables x and y, you can find the value of one by knowing the value of the other. Here, if y = 15 when X = 12, we can say that the ratio of y to x is constant. Therefore to find the value of Y when X = 32, we will maintain the same ratio. Now, set up a proportion 15/12 = Y/32 and solve for Y. Cross-multiplication gives us: Y = 15 * 32 / 12. After calculating this, Y equals approximately 40. Therefore, the value of Y when X is 32 will be around 40, keeping the relationship linear.

Factorizing the polynomial expression x² - 18x + 81 = (x - 9)²

What is factorization?

Factorization is the simplification of an expression into a smaller expression using its factors.

To factor this polynomial expression. x² - 18x + 81, we proceed as follows

Since we have the polynomial expression x² - 18x + 81, we multiply x² by 81 to get x² × 81 = 81x².

Now, we look for the factors of 81x² such that the sum of those factors equal - 18x

So, we have that 81x² = -9x × (-9x)

So, -18x = -9x - 9x

So, replacing this with -18x, we have that

x² - 18x + 81 = x² - 9x - 9x + 81

Now, factorizing, we have that

x² - 9x - 9x + 81 =  x(x - 9) - 9(x - 9)

= (x - 9)(x - 9)

= (x - 9)²

So, factorizing x² - 18x + 81 = (x - 9)².

There is no direct relationship between the size of a lake and number of fish in it. There are other factors than size which determine how many fish may be present in the lake.

Denis and Dasha solve this problem in two different ways. The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 centimeters. Its length is 6 centimeters. What is its width? Use the drop-down menus to complete the sentences below.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the width of a rectangle with a perimeter of 54 cm and a length of 6 cm, use the formula P = 2l + 2w. After plugging in the given values and simplifying, the width is calculated to be 21 cm.

Explanation:

Finding the Width of a Rectangle

To solve this problem, we remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by the formula P = 2l + 2w, where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width. Given the perimeter is 54 centimeters and the length is 6 centimeters, we can set up the equation as follows: 54 = 2(6) + 2w. Simplifying this, we get 54 = 12 + 2w, and then subtracting 12 from both sides gives us 42 = 2w. Dividing both sides by 2, we find the width w to be 21 centimeters.

Step-by-Step Calculation

Start with the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2l + 2w.Substitute the given values into the formula: 54 = 2(6) + 2w.Simplify the equation: 54 = 12 + 2w.Isolate the width term: 42 = 2w.Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the width: w = 21.

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 21 centimeters.

The percent of 67.5 is equal to 7.02 is for the number 10.4.

To find what percent of 67.5 is 7.02, we can use proportions.

Let's represent the unknown percentage as 'x'. The proportion can be set up as follows:

(7.02 / 67.5) = (x / 100)

Now, solve for 'x':

7.02 × 100 = 67.5 × x

702 = 67.5x

x = 702 / 67.5

x ≈ 10.4

Therefore, 7.02 is approximately 10.4 percent of 67.5.

Answers

Let us start with the schnauzers, the easiest one to imagine. Let us assume that there were x number of schnauzers. Scottie's are 3 more than schnauzers. So their number is x+3 Wire haired terriers are 5 less than twice the number of schnauzers. So their number is 2x -5 (2x for twice the number of schnauzers) Now add all these numbers. That is x + x+3 + 2x-5 = 4x -2 The total number of dogs, 78, is given in the question Now we know that 4x -2 =78 4x = 78 +2 = 80 Therefore x = 80/4 = 20. So there were 20 schnauzers, 23 Scottie’s and 35 wire haired terriers

In a company, it takes 4 employees 4 days to complete a task. It would take 2 employees 8 days to complete the same task. Which function can be used to represent e, the number of employees working on the task, and d, the number of days it takes them to complete that task?

Answers

The function representing the relationship between the number of employees and the number of days it takes to complete the task is[tex]\[ e \times d = 16 \][/tex].

To represent the relationship between the number of employees (e) and the number of days (d) it takes to complete a task, we can use the formula:

[tex]\[ e \times d = k \][/tex]

where  k is a constant representing the amount of work to be done.

Given the information that 4 employees complete the task in 4 days, and 2 employees complete it in 8 days, we can set up two equations using the formula:

[tex]\[ 4 \times 4 = k \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 2 \times 8 = k \][/tex]

Now, solve each equation for ( k):

[tex]\[ 4 \times 4 = 16 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 2 \times 8 = 16 \][/tex]

Since both equations give us the same constant ( k ), we can conclude that:

[tex]\[ e \times d = 16 \][/tex]

Therefore, the function representing the relationship between the number of employees and the number of days it takes to complete the task is:

[tex]\[ e \times d = 16 \][/tex]
