James is solving a number puzzle that involves three integers, a, b, and c, where c is a positive integer. The product of a and b is 6. The product of a and c is -4. The product of b and c is -6.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Three integers, a, b, and c, where c is a positive integer.

The product of a and b is 6.

The product of a and c is -4.

The product of b and c is -6.

To find:

The values of a,b and c.

Solution:

According to the given information:

[tex]ab=6[/tex]        ...(i)

[tex]ac=-4[/tex]       ...(ii)

[tex]bc=-6[/tex]      ...(iii)

From (ii), we get

[tex]a=-\dfrsc{4}{c}[/tex]          ...(iv)

From (iii), we get

[tex]b=-\dfrsc{6}{c}[/tex]         ...(v)

Putting [tex]a=-\dfrsc{4}{c}[/tex]  and [tex]b=-\dfrsc{6}{c}[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]\dfrac{-4}{c}\times \dfrac{-6}{c}=6[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{24}{c^2}=6[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{24}{6}=c^2[/tex]

[tex]4=c^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]\pm \sqrt{4}=c[/tex]

[tex]\pm 2=c[/tex]

It is given that c is a positive integer. So, it cannot be negative and the only value of c is [tex]c=2[/tex].

Putting [tex]c=2[/tex] in (iv), we get

[tex]a=-\dfrsc{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]a=-2[/tex]

Putting [tex]c=2[/tex] in (v), we get

[tex]b=-\dfrsc{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]b=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the values of a,b,c are [tex]a=-2,b=-3,c=2[/tex].

How come it’s a right triangle, I think you do a2+b2=C2. Therefore, you do 9.4 times 9.4 and then 15.1 times 15.1. So it will be 9.4 + b2=15.1. 88.36+ b2=228.01. Then you subtract that and it will be 139.65. Then you do square roots because you are trying to get rid of the second power. And the final answer is 11.81736011. How they told you to round it to the nearest tenth, I will be 11.8. I think this is the answer.

1. a. The image's dilated side lengths on each side:

AB = CD = 45cm.

BD = AC = 24cm.

2. a. Equal ratios exist between the lengths of matching sides. The ratio is the same as the dilation's scale factor.

b. The image is a dilation of the original image.

c. The scale factor = 4.

3. a. The image is a dilation of the original image.

b. The scale factor = 2.

What do you mean by scale factor?

A scale factor, often referred to as a conversion factor, is a numerical value that is used to alter a figure's size without altering its shape. The scale factor can be calculated if both the dimensions of the original and the dilated (increased or lowered) figure are known. The basic formula for calculating a figure's scale factor is given as,

Scale factor is equal to the division between the dimensions of the new and old shapes.

In the first figure, the sides are given as:

AB = 15cm

BD = 8cm

Scale factor = 3

Now, using the scale factor formula:

Scale factor = New dimensions/Old dimensions

⇒ 3 = New dimension/15

⇒ New dimension of AB = 45cm.

Similarly, new dimension of BD = 24cm.

In the second figure, as the lengths of corresponding sides have equal ratios. Both the figures are similar. The image is the dilation of the original figure as the lengths of corresponding sides have equal ratios. The ratio is the same as the dilation's scale factor. So, the scaler factor here is 4.

Now in the last figure we can see that the coordinates of A', B', C' and D' are exactly half of that of the coordinates of A, B, C and D.

The ratio of the coordinates is 2:1.

Therefore, the scale factor = 2.

The sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio of 3 : 4:10. If the length of the
shortest side is 9 in., what is the perimeter of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

51cm

Step-by-step explanation:

9 divided by 3 is 3inches

3 inches is 1 share

3 plus 4 plus 10 is 17

17 times 3 is 51

The length of the triangle is 9, 12, and 30. Then the perimeter of the triangle will be 51 inches.

What is the triangle?

The polygonal shape of a triangle has a number of sides and three independent variables. Angles in the triangle add up to 180 °.

The perimeter of the triangle is determined by adding together all of its sides.

The sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio of 3:4:10. If the length of the shortest side is 9 in.

Let x be the canceled value from the ratio. Then we have the ratio will be 3x: 4x: 10x.

The value of the variable 'x' is given as,

3x = 9

x = 9 / 3

x = 3

Then the other sides of the triangle will be

4x = 4 (3) = 12 in

10x = 10 (3) = 30 in

Then the perimeter of the triangle will be calculated as,

P = 9 + 12 + 30

P = 51 inches

The length of the triangle is 9, 12, and 30. Then the perimeter of the triangle will be 51 inches.

The percentage of Theo's clients are on the varsity team will be 27%

What will be a percent of Theo's clients are on the varsity team?

It is given in the question that

clients, 40% play football

clients, 60% play Baseball

Of the students who play football, 30% are on the varsity team,

50% of Theo's baseball clients are on the varsity team.

So clients who play football and are on the varsity team will be

If t represents the amount of time Neda has spent typing the second letter, which equation states the rule used to determine the number of words, W, Neda has typed today?

Answers

Answer:

W = t + 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of words typed in the first letter = 200

The relationship between the total words typed, W and the number of seconds, t spent on the second letter :

W = number of words typed in first letter + t

W = 200 + t

Choosing any pair of values from the table :

W = 245 ; t = 45

W = 200 + 45

W = 245

Therefore, the number of words, W typed today can be represented as

W = 200 + t

What is Square Root?

Square root of a number is the value such that the value when multiplied to itself two times gives the original number.

It is denoted by the symbol √.

For example, square root of 16 is 4 since 4 × 4 = 16

Given expression is

√100 / √25

We have to find the square root of each of the value and then divide it.

We know that,

100 = 10 × 10

So 100 = 10²

So,√100 = 10

Similarly,

25 = 5 × 5

So √25 = 5

Substituting the values,

√100 / √25 = 10 / 5 = 2

Hence the quotient is 2.

Bacteria are the most common example of exponential growth. Select a number between 2 and 10 to represent the hourly growth rate of a certain bacteria. For example, selecting the number 8 would mean that the amount of bacteria will be 8 times greater after every hour.
a. Suppose you start with one single bacterium. Make a table of values showing the number of bacteria that will be present after each hour for the first six hours using the hourly growth rate that you selected. Then determine how many bacteria will be present once 24 hours have passed.
b. Explain why this table represents exponential growth.
c. Using this example, explain why any nonzero number raised to a power of zero is equal to one.
d. Write a rule for this table.

Hour 6            729 bacterium

After 24 hours, the number of the bacterium will reach 282,429,536,481.

B)  This table represents exponential growth because of the number of bacterium always being multiplied by 3.

C)  The reason that any number to the zero power is one is that any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which is the multiplicative identity, 1.

D)  Y = 1 + 3 to the power of x
