What is the length of the apothem of the regular pentagon shown below? Round to one decimal place

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are subtracting two fractions; therefore, we must make the denominators the same by finding the least common multiple. Since we have x - 3 for one denominator and x + 2 for the other, we don't have any common factors. Hence, the least common multiple would be their product.

[tex](x-3)(x+2)\\x(x-3)+2(x-3)\\x^2-3x+2x-6\\x^2-x-6[/tex]

The question is looking for the coefficient of the second term. Since there is just a negative sign in front of the x, the "?" can be filled with either a negative sign or a -1.

Solve the second equation for [tex]t[/tex], then substitute it into the first equation.

[tex]y = t + 2 \implies t = y-2[/tex]

[tex]x = t^2 - 3 \implies \boxed{x = (y-2)^2 - 3}[/tex]

well, the regular price is really "x", which oddly enough is 100%, but we also know that $358 is really the discounted price by 20%, namely 100% - 20% = 80%, so we know that 358 is really just 80% of "x", so

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 358& 80 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{358}~~=~~\cfrac{100}{80} \\\\\\ \cfrac{x}{358}=\cfrac{5}{4}\implies 4x=1790\implies x=\cfrac{1790}{4}\implies x\approx 448[/tex]

Answer: If they worked together, it would take 31.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a certain formula for equations like this:

[tex]\frac{1}{t1} +\frac{1}{t2}=\frac{1}{tb}[/tex]

t1= the time it took for the first person to complete the task.

t2= the time it took for the second person to complete the task.

tb= the time it took for both of them to complete the task.

We have the values for both t1 and t2, but not for tb.

t1= 45

t2= 105

tb= x

[tex]\frac{1}{45} +\frac{1}{105} = \frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Now it's simple algebra, and all we need to do is solve for x

The LCM for both fractions is 315, so now we multiply BOTH sides of the equation by 315.

[tex]\frac{315}{45} + \frac{315}{105} = \frac{315}{x}[/tex]

This will simplify nicely, so now we just need to get x on the other side.[tex]7 + 3 = \frac{315}{x} \\\\\ 10*x = \frac{315}{x} * x[/tex]

[tex]10x = 315 \\\\x = 31.5[/tex]

Applying the definition of the median of a triangle: x = 9; CD = 28; DB = 28.

The median of a triangle can be defined as a line segment in a triangle that joins the vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the side of the triangle that is opposite the vertex.

Given triangle ABC, where AD is the median and D is the midpoint of side AB, therefore:

Side CD equals side DB.

Side CD = 5x - 17

Side DB = 3x + 1

Make both segments equal to each other. Therefore, we would have the equation:

5x - 17 = 3x + 1

Solve for x

Add both sides by 17

5x - 17 + 17 = 3x + 1 + 17

5x = 3x + 18

Subtract 3x from both sides

5x - 3x = 3x + 18 - 3x

2x = 18

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

CD = 5x - 17

Plug in the value of x

CD = 5(9) - 17

CD = 45 - 17

CD = 28 units.

DB = 3x + 1

Plug in the value of x

DB = 3(9) + 1

DB = 27 + 1

DB = 28 units.

The exponential model for the data is: [tex]y = 693(1.5)^x[/tex]

When the cost is of $6000, the weight is of approximately 5.3 carats.

An exponential function is modeled by:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In which:

From the table, the rate of change is given by:

b = 4980/3210 = 3210/2140 = 2140/1430 = 1.5.

When x = 1, y = 1040, hence the initial value is found as follows:

1.5a = 1040.

a = 1040/1.5

a = 693.

So the model is:

[tex]y = 693(1.5)^x[/tex]

When the cost is of $6000, the weight is found as follows:

[tex]693(1.5)^x = 6000[/tex]

[tex](1.5)^x = \frac{6000}{693}[/tex]

[tex]1.5^x = 8.658[/tex]

[tex]\log{1.5^x} = \log{8.658}[/tex]

x log(1.5) = log(8.658)

x = log(8.658)/log(1.5)

x = 5.3

Answer:

  f(x) = x³ -4x² +9x +164

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function has a zero at x=p, it has a factor (x-p). When a polynomial function with real coefficients has a complex zero, its conjugate is also a zero.

Given the two zeros and the one we can infer, we can factor our 3rd-degree polynomial function as ...

  f(x) = a(x -(-4))·(x -(4+5i))·(x -(4-5i))

Using the factoring of the difference of squares, we can combine the complex factors to make a real factor.

  f(x) = a(x +4)((x -4)² -(5i)²) = a(x +4)(x² -8x +16 +25)

The value of this at x=1 is ...

  f(1) = a(1 +4)(1 -8 +41) = 170a

We want f(1) = 170, so ...

  170 = 170a   ⇒   a=1

The factored polynomial function is ...

  f(x) = (x +4)(x² -8x +41)

Expanding this expression, we have ...

  f(x) = x(x² -8x +41) +4(x² -8x +41) = x³ -8x² +41x +4x² -32x +164

  f(x) = x³ -4x² +9x +164

The attached graph verifies the real zero (x=-4) and the value at x=1. It also shows that the factor with complex roots has vertex form (x -4)² +25, exactly as it should be.

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = (x+4)(x^2-8x+41)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so there are a couple of things to note here. The first thing is that there is a complex solution

Complex Conjugate Root Theorem:

    if [tex]a-bi[/tex] is a solution then [tex]a+bi[/tex] is a solution and vice versa

Fundamental Theorem Of Algebra:

   Any polynomial with a degree "n", will have "n" solutions. Those solutions can be real and imaginary numbers

So since we're given the root: [tex]4+5i[/tex], we can use the Complex Conjugate Root Theorem to assert that: [tex]4-5i[/tex] is also a solution.

So now we know 3 solutions/zeroes, and since n=3 (the degree), we can know for a fact that we have all the solutions due to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.

So using these roots, we can express the polynomial as it's factors. When you express a polynomial as factors it'll look something like so: [tex]f(x) = a(x-b)(x-c)(x-d)...[/tex] where a, b, and d are zeroes of the polynomial. Also notice the "a" value? This will affect the stretch/compression of the polynomial.

So let's express the polynomial in factored form:

[tex]f(x) = a(x-(-4))(x-(4+5i))(x-(4-5i))[/tex]

Simplify the x-(-4)

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x-(4+5i))(x-(4-5i))[/tex]

Now let's distribute the negative sign to the complex roots

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x-4-5i)(x-4+5i))[/tex]

Now let's rewrite the two factors (x-4-5i) and (x-4+5i) so the (x-4) is grouped together

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)((x-4)-5i)((x-4)+5i))[/tex]

If you look at the two complex factors, this looks very similar to the difference of squares: [tex](a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2[/tex]

In this case a=(x-4) and b=5i. So let's use this identity to rewrite the two factors

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)((x-4)^2-(5i)^2)[/tex]

Let's expand out the (x-4)^2

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2+2(-4)(x)+(-4)^2-(5i)^2)[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2-8x+16-(5i)^2)[/tex]

Now simplify the (5i)^2 = 5^2 * i^2

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2-8x+16-(-25))[/tex]

Simplify the subtraction (cancels out to addition)

[tex]f(x) = a(x+4)(x^2-8x+41)[/tex]

So just to check for the value of "a", we can substitute 1 as x, and set the equation equal to 170

[tex]170 = a(1+4)(1^2-8(1)+41)\\170 = a(5)(1-8+41)\\170 = a(5)(34)\\170 = 170a\\a=1[/tex]

In this case it's just 1, so the polynomial can just be expressed as:
[tex]f(x) = (x+4)(x^2-8x+41)[/tex]

Function 1

f(x) = 5x - 11 and g(x) = (x + 11)/5

Represent 5x - 11 with y in f(x) = 5x - 11

y = 5x - 11

Swap x and y

x = 5y - 11

Add 11 to both sides

x + 11 = 5y

Divide by 5

y = (x + 11)/5

Express as a function

g(x) = (x + 11)/5

From the question, we have:

f(x) = 5x - 11 and g(x) = (x + 11)/5

This means that the function g(x) is an inverse of the function f(x)

Answer:

Domain: All Real Numbers

Range: All Real Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

So the domain of a function can be defined as an interval of x-values, which you can input into the function and get real numbers as an output. Since we have a cube root here, or more specifically an odd nth root, the domain is all real numbers, since cbrt(negative number) will just be a negative number since (negative number * negative number * negative number) = negative number, so there does exist a solution, unlike even nth roots like square root, which is restricted to only positive values inside the radical, otherwise you get non-real solutions.

Now let's look at the range of the function, which can be defined as an interval of y-values which can possibly be outputted by the function.

Since as mentioned before, the cube root isn't limited to a certain interval, and rather all real numbers, the range is also similar, since whenever you have a negative number in the radical, the output will be a negative number, so the range is all real numbers

The answer is A.

As any number can be inputted in place of x and the result, y, will be directly proportional to the inputting value, the domain and range of the function is All Real Numbers.

Answer:

28/57

Step-by-step explanation:

odds in favor of event occurring = (probability event occurs)/(probability event does not occur)

Let p = probability event occurs.

Then the probability the event does not occur is 1 - p.

Let the odds = a/b.

a/b = p/(1 - p)

a(1 - p) = bp

a - ap = bp

bp + ap = a

p(a + b) = a

p = a/(a + b)

p = 28/(28 + 29)

p = 28/57

As per the given scenario, the probability of event E is 28/57 or approximately 0.4912.

Probability is a measure of the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. It is usually expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 means the event is impossible and 1 means the event is certain to occur.

If the odds in favor of an event E are "a to b," then the probability of E is given by:

P(E) = a / (a + b)

In this case, the odds in favor of E are 28 to 29, which means that there are 28 favorable outcomes for E and 29 unfavorable outcomes against E.

So, using the formula above, we can compute the probability of E as:

P(E) = 28 / (28 + 29)

P(E) = 28 / 57

Therefore, the probability of event E is 28/57 or approximately 0.4912.
