The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
Answer: they have 68 servings of ice cream left for the party
Step-by-step explanation:
The Smiths purchased 6 containers of ice cream for a party. Each container holds 9 cups of ice cream. This means that the total number of cups of ice cream that they have is
6 × 9 = 54 cups
Before the party, their sons ate 3 cups of ice cream altogether. This means that the number of cups of ice cream that they have left is
54 - 3 = 51 cups
One serving is 3/4 cup of ice cream. This means that the number of serving that they have left is
51/0.75 = 68
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>:
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>:
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:
⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>

Answer:
(-1.92, 1.08)
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>incenter</em> is the center of the largest circle that can be inscribed in the triangle. That circle is called the <em>incircle</em>. The incenter is at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors. For a right triangle, the <em>inradius</em> (the radius of the incircle), is found from a simple formula:
r = (a + b - c)/2 . . . . . where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the legs
In your triangle, the inradius is ...
r = (5 + 3 -√(5² +3²))/2 = 4 -√8.5 ≈ 1.08452
Among other things, this means the coordinates of the incenter are about (1.08, 1.08) from the right angle vertex, so are about ...
incenter ≈ (-1.92, 1.08)
Part A: x = -5/4, 3 || (-5/4, 0) (3, 0)
To find the x-intercepts, we need to know where y is equal to 0. So, we will set the function equal to 0 and solve for x.
4x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0
4 x 15 = 60 || -12 x 5 = 60 || -12 + 5 = -7
4x^2 - 12x + 5x - 15 = 0
4x(x - 3) + 5(x - 3) = 0
(4x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
4x + 5 = 0
x = -5/4
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
Part B: minimum, (7/8, -289/16)
The vertex of the graph will be a minimum. This is because the parabola is positive, meaning that it opens to the top.
To find the coordinates of the parabola, we start with the x-coordinate. The x-coordinate can be found using the equation -b/2a.
b = -7
a = 4
x = -(-7) / 2(4) = 7/8
Now that we know the x-value, we can plug it into the function and solve for the y-value.
y = 4(7/8)^2 - 7(7/8) - 15
y = 4(49/64) - 49/8 - 15
y = 196/64 - 392/64 - 960/64
y = -1156/64 = -289/16 = -18 1/16
Part C:
First, start by graphing the vertex. Then, use the x-intercepts and graph those. At this point we should have three points in a sort of triangle shape. If we did it right, each of the x-values will be an equal distance from the vertex. After we have those points graphed, it is time to draw in the parabola. Knowing that the parabola is positive, we draw in a U shape that passes through each of the three points and opens toward the top of the coordinate grid.
Hope this helps!
