I need help with this problem i have in Algebra 1.Here is the instructions: The measure of two angles of a triangle are given. Find the measure of the third angle. Problem:x, y Please help me.
2 ANGLES ARE X AND Y ..LET THIRD ANGLE BE CALLED A
THEN WE HAVE IN A TRIANGLE =SUM OF 3 ANGLES =180.SO
X+Y+A=180
A = 180-X-Y
SINCE WE KNOW X AND Y WE CAN FIND THE THIRD ANGLE A FROM THIS RELATION/EQUATION..
SUPPOSE X= 50 AND Y =70 DEG.THEN
A = 180-50-7-=180-120=60
THIRD ANGLE =60


Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/56077: The rectangle ABCD is inscribed in the circle with center(0,0) and radius 6. The x-coordinate of the vertex A is expressed as x. (Shows a diagram with an x and y axis. A circle, with a square inside it where each of the 4 corners of the square touches the circle. And a point A at the top right corner labeled as point A (x,y). Where A is the vertex.)
Then express the area S of the rectangle ABCD as a function of x in the form: A(x) = b*x*sqr(c-x^2)
Where b and c are coefficients.
I have tried area=base*height which gives the formula area= x^2+Y^2=12^2. I just am not sure where to go from here or if I am even on the right track.

A circle, with a square inside it where each of the 4 corners of the square touches the circle. And a point A at the top right corner labeled as point A (x,y). Where A is the vertex.)
OK ..BUT THE DIAGRAM IS NEEDED AS THE DATA GIVEN BY YOU IS NOT FULLY CLEAR.IS THE RECTANGLE AND CIRCLE HAVE SAME CENTRE IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT.ANY WAY ASSUMING THAT CENTRE IS SAME AND THE AXES ARE PARALLEL TO SIDES,I AM GIVING THE ANSWER.PLEASE CONFIRM THE ASSUMPTIONJS OR GIVE THE DRAWING.
SO AS PER OUR ASSUMPTION
AB || DC || Y AXIS
BC || AD || X AXIS
CENTRE OF RECTANGLE IS O(0,0) AS IS THE CENTRE OF CIRCLE.
HENCE DIAGONAL = AC = DIAMETER = 2*6=12 AND OA = RADIUS = 6
SINCE A IS (X,Y)
OA^2 = 6^2 = X^2+Y^2
Y=SQRT(36-X^2)
SIDES OF RECTANGLE ARE
AB = 2Y=2SQRT(36-X^2)
BC = 2X
AREA OF RECTANGLE = AB*BC = 2X*2SQRT(36-X^2)=4XSQRT(36-X^2)
B=4.....C=36 ...IN YOUR EQN.



Then express the area S of the rectangle ABCD as a function of x in the form: A(x) = b*x*sqr(c-x^2)
Where b and c are coefficients.
I have tried area=base*height which gives the formula area= x^2+Y^2=12^2. I just am not sure where to go from here or if I am even on the right track.

Sorry, asked the wrong distance question before. I am trying to find distance for (-3, -2)=(X1,Y1)..and (1,4)=(X2,Y2). I get 10.
HOW DID YOU GET 10? FORMULA IS D = SQRT[(X2-X1)^2 + (Y2-Y1)^2]
D = SQRT[(1+3)^2 + (4+2)^2]=SQRT(16+36)=SQRT(52)

Amanda has 400 feet of lumber to frame a
rectangular patio (the perimeter of a rectangle is 2
times length plus 2 times width). She wants to
maximize the area of her patio (area of a rectangle is
length times width). What should the dimensions of the
patio be, and show how the maximum area of the patio
is calculated from the algebraic equation.
Answer:
IF L AND B ARE DIMENSIONS WE HAVE
PERIMETER=2(L+B)=400.....OR.....L+B=200..OR......B=200-L.................I
AREA=A
=LB=L(200-L)=200L-L^2=-{L^2-200L}=-{(L^2)-2(L)(100)+100^2-100^2}
A=10000-(L-100)^2
(L-100)^2 BEING PERFECT SQUARE,ITS MINIMUM VALUE IS
ZERO.
HENCE AREA IS MAXIMUM WHEN L-100 IS ZERO,OR WHEN L=100
AND THEN THE MAXIMUM AREA WOULD BE
A-MAX.=10000-0=10000
DIMENSIONS ARE 100*100

4. If h(x) = x^3 - x, what is the relationship between h(-3) and -h(-3)?
h(x) is an odd function ...since
H(A)= A^3-A....AND
H(-A) = (-A)^3-(-A)= -A^3+A= -(A^3-A)= -H(A)
HENCE
H(3) = 3^3 - 3 =27-3 =24
H(-3) = (-3)^3-(-3)= -27+3 = -24
SO....H(3) = -H(-3)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the product of two consecutive positive integers is 288. Find the integers.
LET THE 2 NUMBERS BE N,N+1
N(N+1)=288
N^2+N-288=0
NOT POSSIBLE .
THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE PRODUCT OF 2 CONSECUTIVE 'EVEN'INTEGERS IS 288..THEN
ANY INTEGER IS N....ANY EVEN INTEGER IS 2N...NEXT EVEN INTEGER IS 2N+2
2N(2N+2)=288
4N(N+1)=288
N^2+N-72=0
N^2+9N-8N-72=0
N(N+9)-8(N+9)=0
(N-8)(N+9)=0
N=8
SO THE 2 EVEN INTEGERS ARE 2*8=16 AND 16+2=18

2) A pendulum is released and swings through an arc measuring 15 inche. Each swing thererater it travels a distance 0.85 times the length of the previous pass. Approximately how far will the pendulum swing on the eighth pass?
3) A readioactive dye is injected into a system in a medical test. After one hour, 60% of the dye remains. At the end of two hours 60% of the remaining dye remains, and so on. If one unit of dye is injected, approximately what percent will remain after 12 hours?

HT. DURING I DROP = H1 = 18'
HT DURING II DROP = H2 = (2/3)*H1=2*18/3=12
HT.DURING III DROP = H3 = (2/3)*H2=[(2/3)^2]H1
.........................................
..........................................
HT DURING N TH. DROP = HN = [(2/3)^(N-1)]H1
IT HIT GROUND 6 TIMES..HENCE WE WANT HT FOR THE 7 TH. DROP.
THAT IS FOR N=7 WE HAVE H7 = 18=1.58'


2) A pendulum is released and swings through an arc measuring 15 inche. Each swing thererater it travels a distance 0.85 times the length of the previous pass. Approximately how far will the pendulum swing on the eighth pass?
PROCEEDING IN THE SAME MANNER AS ABOVE,WE GET
SN=15


Rational-functions/55443: Hi there. I submitted some problems last Friday, but havent heard anything. If someone has time and is willing to lend soem brain power, I would really appreciate the help.
1. Consider the function f(x)=2.0x^3 + 4.5x^2. What are the coordinate pairs of the relative maximum and the relative minimum of f(x) in the interval {xI-3 2.In what interval or intervals is the function in problem #1 increasing or decreasing? Use set notation as in question # to indicate the answer.
3. What is the greatest integer less than -10.5?
4. Given that f(x)=x^2+6 and g(x)=x-4, find the composite function f(g(x)).
Thank you for your time.

1. Consider the function f(x)=2.0x^3 + 4.5x^2. What are the coordinate pairs of the relative maximum and the relative minimum of f(x) in the interval {xI-3
F(X)=X^2(2X+4.5).....THE ZEROS ARE X=0...AND 2X+4.5=0...OR..X=-4.5/2=-2.25
IN INCREASING ORDER THEY ARE -2.25 AND 0...
HENCE F(X) IS + VE AND INCREASING FOR X>0
F(X)=0 AT X=0
F(X) IS -VE IN THE INTERVAL (-2.25,0)
F(X)=0 AT X=-2.25
F(X) IS POSITIVE FOR X<-2.25
F'(X)= 6X^2+9X =0......3X(2X+3)=0......2 EXTREMA ARE AT X=0 AND X=-3/2
SEE GRAPH BELOW..F(X) HAS A LOCAL MAXIMUM FOR X IN (-2,0)...
MAXIMUM POINT IS (-3/2 ,27/8)
AND A LOCAL MINIMUM FOR X IN (-1,1)...MINIMUM POINT IS (0,0)
+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x%5E2%282%2Ax%2B4.5%29%29+

2.In what interval or intervals is the function in problem #1 increasing or decreasing? Use set notation as in question # to indicate the answer.
ALREADY INDICATED ABOVE
3. What is the greatest integer less than -10.5?
PUT ON NUMBER LINE
-11........-10.5.........-10
HENCE -11 IS THE GREATEST INTEGER LESS THAN -10.5

4. Given that f(x)=x^2+6 and g(x)=x-4, find the composite function f(g(x)).
PUT G(X) =Y =X-4
F(G(X)) = F(Y)= Y^2+6 = (X-4)^2+6=X^2+16-8X+6= X^2-8X+22
Thank you for your time.

LET THEIR TIME OF TRAVEL FROM START TO TILL THEY MEET = T HRS
DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY I CAR = 40T
DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY SECOND CAR = 50T
SQUARE OF DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY II CAR = 50T*50T=2500T^2
250 TIMES DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY I CAR = 250*40T=10000T
HENCE
10000T = 2500T^2
4T=T^2
T^2-4T=0
T(T-4)=0
T=4 HRS.....THAT IS THEY MEET AT 4:00 AM+4 = 8:00 AM
BY THIS TIME
I CAR TAVELLED = 4*40 = 160 KM
II CAR TRAVELLED = 4*50 = 200 KM.
HENCE THEIR INTIAL DISTANCE OF SEPERATION = 160+200 = 360 KM.

THESE ARE MATERIAL BALANCE PROBLEMS.THE PRINCIPLE IS
TO APPLY
TOTAL OF ALL INPUTS =TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUTS..
THIS PRINCIPLE CAN BE APPLIED TO TOTAL MIXTURE AS A
WHOLE AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS OF THE
MIXTURE.LET US SEE THE APPLICATION USING YOUR PROBLEM.
HERE THE MIXTURE COMPRISES 2 INPUTS-REGULAR YOGURT
(RY) & NO FAT YOGURT (NFY)
AND ONE OUT PUT-LOW FAT YOGURT (LFY).THE COMPONENT OF
IMPORTANCE IN THE MIXTURE IS FAT CONTENT.SO WE TAKE 2
BALANCES HERE ..ONE FOR THE TOTAL MIXTURE AND ANOTHER
FOR COMPONENT OF FAT IN THE MIXTURE.
I..TOTAL BALANCE...
INPUTS
1.QTY.OF.RY=X POUNDS
2.QTY OF NFY=Y POUNDS
OUT PUT
1.QTY.OF LFY=60 POUNDS
SO APPLYING
TOTAL OF ALL INPUTS =TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUTS.....WE GET
X+Y=60.............................I
II..COMPONENT BALANCE..HERE IT IS FAT .
INPUTS
1.QTY.OF FAT IN RY=X*3/100=3X/100 POUNDS
2.QTY OF FAT IN NFY=Y*0/100=0 POUNDS
OUT PUT
1.QTY.OF FAT IN LFY=60*1/100=60/100 POUNDS
SO APPLYING
TOTAL OF ALL INPUTS =TOTAL OF ALL OUTPUTS.....WE GET
3X/100 + 0=60/100.............................II
3X=60
X=20 POUNDS. OF REGULAR YOGURT
Y=60-20=40 POUNDS OF NO FAT YOGURT.

write the slope-y-intercept equation form of the line which has slope 2/3 =M SAY and passes through the point:P = (X1,Y1)SAY (-3,3)
FORMULA IS
Y= MX -MX1+Y1
Y= 2X/3 -(2/3)(-3)+3=2X/3 +5
write the point-slope equation form of the line which passes through 2 points: P= (X1,Y1) SAY=(-9,0), Q = (X2,Y2) SAY= (-5,3)
FORMULA IS
Y = (Y2-Y1)(X-X1)/(X2-X1) +Y1=(3-0)(X+9)/(-5-0) + 0
Y= -3X/5 -27/5

write the general equation form of the line which passes through the 2 points:(1,2), (6,7)
