Alice was having a conversation with her friend Trina, who had a discovery to share:
Pick any two integers. Look at the sum of their squares, the difference of their squares,
and twice the product of the two integers you chose. Those three numbers are the
sides of a right triangle.
a. Write an equation that models this conjecture using the variables x and y.
b. Investigate this conjecture for at least three pairs of integers. Does her trick
appear to work in all cases, or only in some cases? Explain.
c. Use Trina’s trick to find an example of a right triangle in which all of the sides
have integer length, all three sides are longer than 100 units, and the three side
lengths do not have common factors.
BONUS: If Trina’s conjecture is true, use the equation found in part a to prove the
conjecture. If it is not true, modify it so it is a true statement, and prove the new
statement

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. (x² + y²)² = (x² - y²)² + (2xy)²

b. The conjecture works in all cases.

c. Sides of 119, 120, and 169

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Equation that models this conjecture

x² + y² = sum of squares

x² - y² = difference of square

  2xy = twice the product of the integers

If these are the sides of a right triangle then

(x² + y²)² = (x² - y²)² + (2xy)²

b. Test the conjecture

(i) Try x = 2, y = 1

(2² + 1²)² = (2² - 1²)² + (2×2×1)²

       5² = 3² + 4²

      25 = 9 + 16

(ii) Try x = 3, y = 1

(3² + 1²)² = (3² - 1²)² + (2×3×1)²

      10² = 8² + 6²

    100 = 64 + 36

(iii) Try x = 3, y = 2

(3² + 2²)² = (3² - 2²)² + (2×3×2)²

       13² = 5² + 12²

     169 = 25 + 144

The conjecture appears to work in all cases.

c. A possible triangle

We must have one side greater than 100. That means,  

x² > 100 or x >1 0.

                                      Let x = 12

                               One side = 12² + y²

                  The second side = 12² - y²

The third side must have 2xy > 100

                                        24y > 100

                                            y > 4.2

                                      Try y = 5

                              (12² + 5²)² = (12² - 5²)² + (2 × 12 × 5)²

                                       169² = 119² + 120²

So, one right triangle could have sides of 119, 120, and 169.

Furthermore, these sides have no common factors.

Check:

 169² = 119² + 120²

28561 = 14161 + 14400

28561 = 28561

4) Find the value of x in the given diagram. (3 points)
88°
142°
136°
105°
136°

Answers

Answer:

113

Step-by-step explanation:

The given shape has 6 angles so it's a hexagon and the sum of interior angles in a hexagon is = 720

To find the the value of x we need to add all given values up and subtract it from 720:

88 + 142 + 105 + 136 + 136 + x = 720

607 + x = 720 subtract 607 from both sides

x = 113

A pilot was scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to air traffic, her departure has been delayed by 10 minutes. Air traffic control approved a new flight plan that will allow her to arrive three times faster than she calculated in her original flight plan. Let x represent the time, in minutes, of her original flight. Create an equation that can be used to predict the number of minutes after 4:00 pm she will arrive at her destination. y equals one third times x plus 10 y = 3x + 10 y equals one third times x minus 10 y = 3x − 10

Answers

Answer:

a. y equals one third times x plus 10

= y = 1/3(x) + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Let the original final plan = x

Let the current flight plan = y

The initial time of departure = 4.00pm

Her flight was then delayed for 10 minutes

We are told in the question that:

The current flight plan allows her arrive at her destination three times faster.

This means y= (1/3)x

y = x/3

Hence the equation generated =

y = x/3 +10

y = 1/3(x) + 10

You poured some 6% alcohol solution and some 8% alcohol solution into a mixing container. Now you have 600 grams of 7.4% alcohol solution. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many grams of 6% solution and how many grams of 8% solution you poured into the mixing container.
You mixed ___ grams of 6% solution with ____grams of 8% solution.

Answers

Answer:

180 grams of 6%420 grams of 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s and e represent the grams of 6% and 8% solution, respectively. The given relations can be described by ...

  s + e = 600 . . . . . you have 600 grams of mixture

  0.06s +0.08e = 0.074(600) . . . . grams of alcohol in the mixture

__

The first equation can give an expression for s that substitutes nicely into the second equation:

  s = 600 -e

  0.06(600 -e) +0.08e = 0.074(600) . . . . substitute for s

  0.02e = 0.014(600) . . . . . . subtract 0.06(600)

  e = 420 . . . . . . . divide by 0.02

  s = 600 -420 = 180

You mixed 180 grams of 6% solution with 420 grams of 8% solution.

Answer: 180 grams of 6% solution with 420 grams of 8% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the weight (in grams) of 6% and 8% alcohol solution. Since the total weight is 600 grams, therefore,

[tex]$$\Rightarrow x+y=600 \ldots \text { (1) }[/tex]

Using the statement given, we can write the following equation:

[tex]\Rightarrow 6 x+8 y=(7.4)(600)\\ \Rightarrow 6 x+8 y=4440 \text {... (2) }[/tex]

Substitute the value of y from equation (1) into equation (2), we'll get:

[tex]\begin{gathered}\Rightarrow 6 x+8(600-x)=4440 \\\Rightarrow 6 x+4800-8 x=4440 \\\Rightarrow 2 x=360 \\\Rightarrow x=180\end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\Rightarrow y=600-180=420[/tex]

Therefore, you mixed 180 grams of 6% solution with 420 grams of 8% solution.

A jacket's original price is $65.00. It is on sale for 40% off. You have to pay 5% sales tax. What is the final price for the jacket?
Explain good pls

Answers

Answer:

$40.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = $65.00

If the jacket is on sale for 40% off, then it is now 60% of the original price.

60% = 60/100 = 0.6

⇒ 60% of $65.00 = 0.6 × 65

                              = $39

If we have to pay 5% sales tax, then this means that the final price will be 105% of the sale price.

105% = 105/100 = 1.05

⇒ 105% of $39 = 1.05 × 39

                         = $40.95

Discount:-

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 0.40(65)=26\$[/tex]

Now

Price after discount=65-26=39$

So

Sales tax is 5%

Total price=39+0.05(39)=40.95$

Hence

Option 1 and 4 are correct

Answer:

D)  I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable along the x-axis is the independent variable.

The variable along the y-axis is the dependent variable.

It would be fair to determine that the time spent reviewing a writing assignment is dependent upon the number of spelling mistakes, as the more mistakes an assignment has, the longer it should take to review, however we cannot say this for certain, therefore we cannot assign the dependent and independent variables.

If the scatter plot shows a negative linear relationship, then as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease.

Statements I and IV suggest a negative linear relationship only, depending on which variable is dependent and independent.
(FYI Statements II and III describe positive linear relationships)

Statement I

x-axis (independent variable) = number of spelling mistakes

y-axis (dependent variable) = review time

Statement IV

x-axis (independent variable) = review time

y-axis (dependent variable) = number of spelling mistakes

Therefore, as we cannot be sure which is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable, the solution is D.

Problem 2

Answer: Approximately 73,280.62908 square feet

Explanation:

Calculate the area of the trapezoid. Ignore the small triangle for now.

A = h*(b1+b2)/2

A = 354*(266+158)/2

A = 75,048

Now calculate the area of the triangle we ignored earlier

Before we do this, we'll need to use the pythagorean theorem to find the missing horizontal piece

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

b = sqrt(c^2 - a^2)

b = sqrt(97^2 - 40^2)

b = 88.368546 which is approximate.

Now we can find the area of the small triangle

Area = base*height/2 = 88.368546*40/2 = 1,767.37092

This is to be subtracted from the area of the trapezoid we found earlier.

75,048 - 1,767.37092 = 73,280.62908

Round the result however you need to.

Solution:

Given:

[tex]\bullet \ \ \text{Volume of party hat} = 75\pi \text{ inches}^{3}[/tex]

[tex]\bullet \ \ \text{Radius of party hat:}\ 5 \ \text{inches}[/tex]

Recall that the formula to find the volume of a cone is πr²h/3. Now, let's use the formula to find the height.

[tex]\bullet \rightarrow \text{Volume of cone:} \ \dfrac{ \pi r^{2} h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\bullet \rightarrow \text{Volume of party hat} =\dfrac{ \pi r^{2} h}{3} = 75\pi \text{ inches}^{3}[/tex]

[tex]\bullet \rightarrow \dfrac{ (\pi )( 5^{2})( h)}{3} = 75\pi \text{ inches}^{3}[/tex]

[tex]\bullet \rightarrow \dfrac{{ (\pi )( 25)( h)}}{25} = \dfrac{225\pi}{25}[/tex]

[tex]\bullet \rightarrow { (\pi )( h)}= 9\pi[/tex]

[tex]\bullet \rightarrow \dfrac{{ (\pi )( h)}}{\pi } =\dfrac{ 9\pi}{\pi }[/tex]
