The coordinates of triangle GBW are G (20, 10) B (-35, 20), and W (5,-10). Is GBW a right triangle? Justify your answer.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: We know from Pythagoras' Theorem, a right angle triangle can be identified by the relationship:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Thus, we know if the side lengths of the triangle in question abide by this relation, the triangle is right.

First, we must find the greatest side length.

We know, using the distance formula.

GB= √((-35-20)^2 +(20-10)^2) =√(3125)
BW= √((5+35)^2 +(-10-20)^2) =√(2500)
WG= √((20-5)^2 +(10+10)^2) =√(625)

From this, we know that:
GB\ \textgreater \ BW\ \textgreater \ WG
Therefore, GB would be the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Now we substitute the values for the two shorter lengths and the greater length into the pythagorean theorem:
a^2+b^2=2500+625=3125
c^2=3125
\therefore LHS=RHS
Therefore, this triangle is a right angled triangle

What is the square root of 49 multiplied by the square root of 9

Answers

First we need to find the the answer to both the square root of 49 and 9.

The "square root" is a term referring to a number, multiplied by itself (x • x) would be = to your square root.

So for example: Square root of 16 = 4 because 4*4=16 

So lets get out numbers:

√(9) =3
√(49)=7

Now you multiply 3*7 (or 7*3) and you get 21.

Final answer: 21

Well, first, you need to find the square root of the two numbers. To find it, they are the numbers multiplied by each other to get a product.  Example: The square root of 49 = 7. Why? Because 7 times 7 = 49. You see how we multiplied 7 by its own self, and how we DIDN'T multiply 7 by any other number BUT itself? See, that's how you find the square root. So, we know that 3 times 3 = 9, and THAT means the square root of 9 = 3. All we have to do now is solve the problem when it says to multiply both of the numbers, (7 times 3), and WHAT DO YOU GET? 21! (Get it? Like the 21 joke-trend?) :D (Laughing emote). :P
Final Answer: 21. :-)

Davinci Digital Media’s wholesale price to the retailer for a digital video camcorder is $1,399.99. Manufacturing costs include $360.00 for production wages and benefits. Production wages and benefits are what percent of the wholesale price to the retailer?

Answers

If you would like to know what percent of the wholesale price to the retailer are production wages and benefits, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $1,399.99 is $360.00 
x% * 1,399.99 = 360.00
x/100 * 1,399.99 = 360.00
x = 360.00 * 100 / 1,399.99
x = 25.71%

The correct result would be 25.71%.

N a water treatment plant, water passes through a cone-shaped filter with a height of 4 m and a diameter of 9 m. The water flows from the filter into a cylinder below it. One full cone-shaped filter fills one-fifth of the cylinder.What are the dimensions of the cylinder? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.
A. h = 3 m; r = 3 m
B.h = 4.23 m; r = 5 m
C.h = 15 m; r = 6 m
D.h = 33.75 m; r = 2 m

Answers

Given:
Cone-shaped filter: height = 4m ; diameter = 9m
cylinder:  one full cone-shape filter fills 1/5 of the cylinder

volume of the cone  = π r² h/3 = 3.14 * (4.5m)² * 4m/3
V = 3.14 * 20.25m² * 1.33m
V = 84.57 m³

84.57 m³ ÷ 1/5 = 84.57 m³ * 5 = 422.85 m³ volume of the cylinder

Volume of cylinder = π r² h

Choice A: V = 3.14 * (3m)² * 3m = 3.14 * 9m² * 3m = 84.78 m³
Choice B: V = 3.14 * (5m)² * 4.23m = 3.14 * 25m² * 4.23m = 332.10 m³
Choice C: V = 3.14 * (6m)² * 15m = 3.14 * 36m² * 15m = 1695.60 m³
Choice D: V = 3.14 * (2m)² * 33.75 m = 3.14 * 4m² * 33.75m = 423.90 m³

The closest answer is Choice D. height = 33.75 m ; radius = 2 m 

Answer and maybe an explanation.Thanks in advance.

inverses

solve for x
replace x with f inverse
replace y with x



so
first minus 2 both sides
y-2=√(2x-3)
square both sides
y^2-4y+4=2x-3
add 3 to both sides
y^2-4y+7=2x
divide both sides y 2
(y^2-4y+7)/2=x

x turns to f inverse and y turns to x


f(x)⁻¹=(x^(2)-4x+7)/(2)

Graph the line using intercepts: 4x-3y=12

Answers

First you have to find the intercepts!

To find the y-intercept (I usually do that first), pretend x=0.
Then it becomes:
4(0)-3y=12
Which then becomes:
-3y=12.
Divide both sides, and y = -4.
Then the (x,y) coordinate would become (0, -4).

Next you would find the x-intercept, and pretend y = 0.
Which then becomes:
4x-3(0)=12
3x0 cancels out to become:
4x = 12
And x = 3 because division stuffs.
Then THIS point would then be (3,0).

So then, you would plot (0,-4) and (3,0) on a graph and connect the points! I attached a picture for reference.

hope that helped~
Graph the intercepts by assigning the balue to y or x then after u assign u will graph it. Since it is a linear equation it might be easier so it may be a  line not a parabola
