Triangles/165224: This question is from textbook Lets Review Math A QUESTION: In isosceles triangle ABC the ratio of the measure of vertex angle A to the measure of angle B is 2 to 5. Find angle C. 1st APPROACH: we know that in an isosceles triangle two angles are the same and the sides opposite them are also the same. Since this problem doesn't tell you which is the base vertex in this isosceles triangle, I have assumed it to be 5x. Because of "RULE:" the length of each side is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference between these lengths....3less than x less than 7. Therefore x is in the range of 4, 5, 6. 2x+5x+5x=180 12x=180 x=15 Angle C is 75 degrees 2nd APPROACH: we know that in an isosceles triangle two angles are the same and the sides opposite them are also the same. Since we already used 5x as the base vertex in our previous approach lets assume 2x is the base angle, this time, because it's an isosceles triangle. 2x+2x+5x=180 9x=180 x=20 Angle C is 40 degrees BOOKS ANSWER IS 100 degrees, why? 1 solutions Answer 121825 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-11-02 00:51:12 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's a quick note about what the ratio is really saying: Since the ratio is vertex angle A to the measure of angle B, this means that we have this ratio: A:B ---> 2:5 So this means that the vertex angle is SMALLER than the base angle. However, if you have a base angle of 40 degrees, this means that the vertex angle is which means that the vertex angle is larger (not smaller) than the base angle. So this effectively rules out the "2nd Approach" answer. Remember, the ratio is vertex:base angle (not the other way around) However, I agree with your first approach. That answer is correct. You'll find that the base angles are 75 degrees and the vertex angle is 30 degrees. Since the ratio of 30:75 reduces to 2:5, this verifies the answer. Note: it is IMPOSSIBLE to have both an isosceles triangle AND have a base angle that is greater than 90 degrees. Why? Base angles are equal. So if there is an obtuse base angle, there are really 2 obtuse angles in the triangle (which is impossible; triangles can only have at most one obtuse angles). So this means that either the book is wrong or maybe you read the wrong answer.

Functions/165207: state the domain of the following and provide a brief explanation for your answer: h(x)=3x^2+5x-3 1 solutions Answer 121776 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-11-01 16:06:33 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looking at , we can see that there are no square roots, logs, and other functions where there are restrictions on the domain. Also, we can see that the function does not have a division by x (or any combination of variables and constants). So we don't have to worry about division by zero. Since we don't have any restrictions on the domain, this shows us that the domain is all real numbers. In other words, we can plug in any number in for x So the domain of the function in set-builder notation is: In plain English, this reads: x is the set of all real numbers (In other words, x can be any number) Also, in interval notation, the domain is:

Let's evaluate the left endpoint a=2 Start with the given equation. Plug in . Square to get . Multiply and to get . Multiply and to get . Combine like terms. ------------------------------------------------ Let's evaluate the right endpoint b=3 Start with the given equation. Plug in . Square to get . Multiply and to get . Multiply and to get . Combine like terms. So as x changes from 2 to 3, f(x) (ie y) changes from -3 to 10 which means that the graph MUST have crossed over the x-axis somewhere in between x=2 and x=3. So this shows that there is a zero between a and b

Start with the given function Set the denominator equal to zero. Remember, dividing by 0 is undefined. So if we find values of x that make the denominator zero, then we must exclude them from the domain. Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver) Now set each factor equal to zero: or or Now solve for x in each case So our solutions are or Since and make the denominator equal to zero, this means we must exclude and from our domain So our domain is: which in plain English reads: x is the set of all real numbers except or So our domain looks like this in interval notation note: remember, the parenthesis excludes -3 and 3 from the domain If we wanted to graph the domain on a number line, we would get: Graph of the domain in blue and the excluded values represented by open circles Notice we have a continuous line until we get to the holes at and (which is represented by the open circles).

Evaluation_Word_Problems/165097: A circular flower bed is surrounded by a ring of grass with an Area of 314 square yards. Find the width of the ring of grass. 1 solutions Answer 121688 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-10-31 21:52:14 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Are you sure that you don't want find the "radius" (instead of the "width")? Or do you want to find the diameter? Start with the area of a circle formula Plug in and replace with (this is an approximation) Divide both sides by 3.14 Divide Rearrange the equation. Take the square root of both sides (only the positive square root is considered). So the radius of the circle is about 10 yards which means that the diameter is about 20 yards (which is twice the radius)

Evaluation_Word_Problems/165101: A baseball is hit at a point 3 ft above the ground at a velocity of 100ft/s and at an angle of 45 degrees with respect of the ground. The path of the baseball is given by the function f(x) = -0.0032x2 + x +3 where f(x) is the height of the baseball (in feet) and x is the horizontal distance from home plate (in feet). What's the maximum hieght reached by the baseball? 1 solutions Answer 121685 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-10-31 21:36:09 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember, the max height occurs at the vertex. So if we find the y-coordinate of the vertex, we find the max height. Note: the same applies to the min height (if there exists a min height) In order to find the vertex, we first need to find the x-coordinate of the vertex. To find the x-coordinate of the vertex, use this formula: . Start with the given formula. From , we can see that , , and . Plug in and . Multiply. Divide So the x-coordinate of the vertex is . Now that we know the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can use it to find the y-coordinate of the vertex. Start with the given equation. Plug in . Square to get . Multiply Combine like terms. So the y-coordinate of the vertex is . So the vertex is (156.25,81.125). Since the y-coordinate is , this means that the max height is 81.125 ft.

Evaluation_Word_Problems/165093: A 10m by 34m garden is surrounded by a walkway of uniform width (call it "x"). The total area of the garden and walkway is 640 square meters. what is the width of the walkway? 1 solutions Answer 121684 by jim_thompson5910(28717)   on 2008-10-31 21:24:32 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = width of the path With these type of problems, it helps to draw a picture. So draw two rectangles, one inside of the other, and label the inside rectangle's dimensions: Now the label the width of the path "x" (denoted in red) Since there are 2 "x" lengths per side, this means that you need to add "2x" to both the length and width of the inner rectangle to get the length and width of the outer rectangle. If this makes no sense at all, here's a visual: So the length and width of the outer rectangle is and respectively. This means that for the outer rectangle (the given area of both the walkway and the garden), and Remember, the area of any rectangle is Start with the area of a rectangle formula Plug in , and FOIL Subtract 640 from both sides. Combine like terms. Notice we have a quadratic equation in the form of where , , and Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for x. Start with the quadratic formula Plug in , , and Square to get . Multiply to get Rewrite as Add to to get Multiply and to get . Take the square root of to get . or Break up the expression. or Combine like terms. or Simplify. So the possible answers are or However, since a negative width is not possible, this means that is NOT a solution. ================================================== Answer: So the solution is which means that the width of the path is 3 meters.
