Geometry_Word_Problems/452464: please calculate/solve for a right (90°) triangle when the vertical leg is 4" and hypotenuse is at a 30 degree angle (330°).
what is the length of the base in inches?
what is the length of the hypotenuse in inches?
IE.
if the vert Leg 4" and the hypotenuse is at 45°
than the horz. leg is 4"
and the hypotenuse is 5.66"
but this makes a different right triangle and this one is easy for me. I know I should have listened better 38 years ago! In the future how can I figure this myself?

sin(30) = 1/2
--> sin(30) = 4/hyp = 1/2
hyp = 8 inch if I interpreted it right.

Using the same method:

hyp = 4/0.70711 =~ 5.66

r = 2400/140 ft/sec = 120/7 ft/sec
22 ft/sec = 15 mph (from memory, but you can confirm it)
r in mph = (120/7)*15/22 = 1800/154 mph
r = 900/77 mph

3x+2[1-3(x+2)]=2x

3x+2-6x-12=2x
---------------
-3x -10 = 2x
I get x= -10.
---------------
3x+2[1-3(x+2)]=2x
2[1-3(x+2)] = -x
2 - 3(x+2) = -x
- 3(x+2) = -x-2
3(x+2) = x+2
3x+6 = x+2
2x+4 = 0

How do you solve this equation?
(-2x^3y)^6
------------
1st, it's not an equation. I can tell, there's no equal sign.
(-2x^3 y)^6
Each factor is raised to the 6th power.
%28-2x%5E3%2Ay%29%5E6+=+%28-2%29%5E6%2A%28x%5E3%29%5E6%2Ay%5E6
= 64x%5E18y%5E6
----------------
If the exponent is on the outside of the parentheses do you multiply it by the exponents inside the parenthesis or add them?
When it's raised to a power, you multiply them.

eg %28x%5E2%29%5E3+=+x%5E2%2Ax%5E2%2Ax%5E2+=+x%5E6

log[13](3x+9)-log[13](3)=log[13](12)
log(3x+9) - log(3) = log(12) All bases are the same, so it doesn't matter.
Subtracting logs --> division
log( (3x+ 9)/3) = log(12)
If the logs are equal, then
(3x+9)/3 = 12
x+3 = 12
x = 9

$497 = 71% of the RP (100 - 29)
RP*0.71 = 497
RP = 497/0.71
RP = $700

Solve by substitution.
6m+n=52
m-5n=19 --> m = 5n+19
Sub for m in the 1st eqn
6m+n=52
6(5n+19) + n = 52
30n + 114 + n = 52
31n = -62
n = -2

6m+n=52
6m - 2 = 52
6m = 54
m = 9

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B6x%2B15+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%286%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A15=-24.

The discriminant -24 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -24 is + or - sqrt%28+24%29+=+4.89897948556636.
