Answer:

5. 94 square units.

6. 159 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Heron's Formula: [tex]\bold{\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}}[/tex]

5.

Using the values c = 17, b = 13, and a = 15,

Calculate the semi-perimeter of the triangle as:

s =[tex]\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

s =[tex]\frac{15 + 13 + 17}{2}=22.5[/tex]

Using Heron's formula, the area of the triangle is:

A = [tex]\bold{\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}}[/tex]

A = [tex]\sqrt{22.5(22.5-15)(22.5-13)(22.5-17)}=93.90[/tex] ≈94 approximately

Therefore, the area of triangle ABC is approximately 94 square units.

6.

Using the values, a = 23, b = 25, and c = 14,

we can calculate the semi-perimeter of the triangle as:

s =[tex]\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

s =[tex]\frac{ 23 + 25 + 14}{2}[/tex]

s = 31

Using Heron's formula, the area of the triangle is:

A = [tex]\bold{\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}}[/tex]

A = [tex]\sqrt{31(31-23)(31-25)(31-14)}=159.05[/tex]≈159 approximately

Therefore, the area of triangle ABC is approximately 159 square units.

Answer:

5)  93.90 square units (2 d.p.)

6)  159.05 square units (2 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle given its side lengths, use Heron's formula.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8 cm}\underline{Heron's Formula}\\\\$A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $A$ is the area of the triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a, b$ and $c$ are the side lengths of the triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $s$ is half the perimeter.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

Given side lengths of triangle ABC:

To find the half perimeter, s, half the sum of the 3 side lengths:

[tex]\implies s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}=\dfrac{15+13+17}{2}=22.5[/tex]

Substitute the values of a, b, c and s into Heron's formula and solve for area, A:

[tex]\begin{aligned}A&=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\&=\sqrt{22.5(22.5-15)(22.5-13)(22.5-17)}\\&=\sqrt{22.5(7.5)(9.5)(5.5)}\\&=\sqrt{8817.1875}\\&=93.89988019...\\&=93.90\; \sf units^2\;(2\;d.p.)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of triangle ABC is 93.90 square units, to two decimal places.

[tex]\hrulefill[/tex]

Given side lengths of triangle ABC:

To find the half perimeter, s, half the sum of the 3 side lengths:

Substitute the values of a, b, c and s into Heron's formula and solve for area, A:

[tex]\begin{aligned}A&=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\&=\sqrt{31(31-23)(31-25)(31-14)}\\&=\sqrt{31(8)(6)(17)}\\&=\sqrt{25296}\\&=159.0471628...\\&=159.05\; \sf units^2\;(2\;d.p.)\end{aligned}[/tex]

The solution for X is X ≈ [tex]tan^{(-1)(0.7429)[/tex], which is approximately 0.6619 radians or approximately 37.89 degrees.

Given: 1 secX + 3 = cosX + tanX (2 + sinX)

To simplify the equation, let's express secX and tanX in terms of sinX and cosX:

1/cosX + 3 = cosX + sinX/cosX (2 + sinX)

Now, multiply both sides by cosX to eliminate the denominators:

[tex]1 + 3cosX = cos^2X + sinX(2 + sinX)[/tex]

Expanding the equation:

[tex]1 + 3cosX = cos^2X + 2sinX + sin^2X[/tex]

Since [tex]sin^2X + cos^2X[/tex] equals 1 (based on the Pythagorean identity), we can substitute it into the equation:

[tex]1 + 3cosX = 1 + 2sinX + sin^2X[/tex]

Rearranging the terms:

[tex]3cosX = 2sinX + sin^2X[/tex]

Now, let's express cosX in terms of sinX using the Pythagorean identity:

cosX = √(1 - [tex]sin^2X[/tex])

Substituting this into the equation:

3√(1 - [tex]sin^2X) = 2sinX + sin^2X[/tex]

Squaring both sides to eliminate the square root:

[tex]9(1 - sin^2X) = (2sinX + sin^2X)^2[/tex]

Expanding the right side:

[tex]9(1 - sin^2X) = (2sinX)^2 + 2(2sinX)(sin^2X) + (sin^2X)^2\\9 - 9sin^2X = 4sin^2X + 4sin^3X + sin^4X[/tex]

Rearranging the terms:

[tex]sin^4X + 4sin^3X + 4sin^2X + 9sin^2X - 9 = 0[/tex]

Combining like terms:

[tex]sin^4X + 4sin^3X + 13sin^2X - 9 = 0[/tex]

Unfortunately, this equation does not have a simple algebraic solution. It needs to be solved numerically or graphically. Using numerical methods or a graphing calculator, we can find that one solution to this equation is sinX ≈ 0.7429.

Taking the inverse tangent (arctan) of both sides, we have:

X = arctan(0.7429)

Therefore, the solution for X is X ≈ t[tex]an^{(-1)}(0.7429)[/tex], which is approximately 0.6619 radians or approximately 37.89 degrees.

Given:

Cost of packaging (C) = 1/4 x²

Weight of chocolates (W) = x + 2

To find the cost of packaging per weight unit, we can express it as C/W.

Substituting the given expressions:

The probability that the next chew Fatoumata removes from the bag will be orange or apple, rounded to the nearest whole number, is approximately 55%.

To calculate the probability that the next chew Fatoumata removes from the bag will be either orange or apple, we need to determine the total number of times an orange or apple chew was selected.

From the given results, Fatoumata selected an orange chew 6 times and an apple chew 10 times. To find the probability, we add the number of occurrences for each chew:

Orange chews: 6 times

Apple chews: 10 times

Total occurrences of orange or apple chews: 6 + 10 = 16

Fatoumata performed the experiment a total of 29 times. So, the probability of selecting an orange or apple chew can be calculated as:

Probability = (Total occurrences of orange or apple chews) / (Total number of experiments) = 16 / 29

To express this probability as a percentage, we multiply the probability by 100:

Probability (as a decimal) = 16 / 29 ≈ 0.5517

Probability (as a percentage) = 0.5517 × 100 ≈ 55.17%

Therefore, the probability that the next chew Fatoumata removes from the bag will be orange or apple, rounded to the nearest whole number, is approximately 55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Store A offers a 20% discount which is equivalent to 0.20 x $1,640 = $328.

The laptop is therefore sold for $1,640 - $328 = $1,312 at Store A.

Store B offers a 10% discount which is equivalent to 0.10 x $1,500 = $150.

Slope = rise/run. The equation is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

So let's pick 2 points. There are pink dots on (-2,2) and (6,-4), so we'll use those points.

slope = (2-(-4))/(-2-6)

slope = (2+4)/(-2-6)

slope = (6)/-8, which we can simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator each by 2.

slope = -3/4

Just as a quick check, this makes sense because as x increases, y decreases so we should expect the slope to be negative.

8.2 CO₂ - dioxide

8.3 SO₂ - dioxide

8.4 CaCO - carbonate

8.5 NaOH - hydroxide

Here is the correct matching of each compound to its type:

8.1 CO - oxide

8.2 CO₂ - dioxide

8.3 SO₂ - dioxide

8.4 CaCO - incorrect notation (needs a subscript for the number of atoms)

8.5 NaOH - hydroxide

Compound 8.4, CaCO, is not correctly represented. It should have a subscript to indicate the number of atoms present in the compound.

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

          (-2 , 3) ⇒ x₁ = -2 & y₁ = 3

          (0 , 2) ⇒  x₂ = 0 & y₂ = 2

Answer:

Solution: x = 2, y = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

Equation 1: 2x - 3y = 13

Equation 2: x + 2y = -4

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

2(x + 2y) = 2(-4)

Simplified: 2x + 4y = -8

Add Equation 1 and Equation 3:

4x + y = 5

Solve Equation 4 for y:

y = 5 - 4x

Substitute y into Equation 2:

x + 2(5 - 4x) = -4

Simplify:

-7x + 10 = -4

Solve for x:

x = 2

Substitute x into Equation 5:

y = 5 - 4(2)

y = -3

Solution: x = 2, y = -3.
