What is the height of a triangle if the base is 10 cm and the sides are 13 cm

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: if the sides (plural, meaning more than 1) and the base is 10

that means
2 sides=13 cm
base=10
since 2 sides equal legnths, isocolees
draw a line from the top angle, opposite the base side, perpendicular to the base
you will form 2 right triangles each with a base of 10/2=5 and a hypotonuse of 13 solve for other leg

a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse=13
a=10=1 leg
b=mystery leg (height)

10^2+x^2=13^2
100+x^2=169
subtract 100 from both sides
x^2=69
take square root of both sides
x=√69

it would be safe to put √69 as the answe since it cannot be simplified into a whole number (about 8.3066238629181)
Answer 2
Answer: because the sides are the same it is an isosceles triangle, therefore the altitude forms two right triangles and also bisects the base

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem
5^2 + h^2= 13^2
 
25+h^2= 169
     h^2= 144
       h=12

FYI  there are familiar combinations for right triangles, might be worthwhile to check them out, it will save a lot of time.

Some examples are 3,4,5  /  5,12. 13  / 9,40,41 etc

Hope this helps

Write the equation of the parabola with a focus (1,2) and directrix y = 1

Answers

since the y shifted and focus is above directix, parabola opens up
4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2
distance from focus to veretx=distance from vertex to directix=P

from focus to directix is
from 2 to 1 which is 1 distance
1/2=P since 1/2of 1=1/2
4(1/2)(y-k)=(x-h)^2
vertexis 1 higher than directix so add 1/2 to 1 to get 1.5
vertex=(1,1.5)
vertex=(h,k)

equation is
4(1/2)(y-1.5)=(x-1)^2
if you want vertex form
2(y-1.5)=(x-1)^2
divide 2
y-1.5=(1/2)(x-1)^2
add 1.5
y=(1/2)(x-1)^(2)+1.5

I don’t understand at all

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function, f(x) = |x|, has no transformations applied to it.

When the number is with the x, it translates the graph horizontally. <->

When the number is outside of the absolute box, it translates the graph vertically. ^ V

When the number is multiply the absolute box on the outside with the x inside, it scales the graph.

So, first lets apply the translations of horizontal and vertical shift.

The graph translated 1 units downwards.

The graph translates 2 units to the right.

g(x) = |x - 2| - 1

We subtract the 2 because that makes it go right, while if we added it would go left.

Now for the scale.

The lines have a slope of (1)/(4), so that is what we are multiplying.

g(x) = (1)/(4)|x - 2| - 1

^That is your transformed function.

Can someone help me figure this out? The explanation gave me no idea on how to do this.

Answers

by solving both equations:
(x^4 + 5x^2 -36) = 0              (2x^2 +9x-5)=0
(x^2 -4) ( x^2 +9) = 0              (2x-1) ( x+5) = 0 
 (x-2) (x+2) (x^+9) = 0             (2x-1) (x+5) = 0
So from this w get : 
x = 2 , -2 
x= 1/2 
x = -5 
x= 3i , -3i

Caitlin has a movie rental card worth $175. After she rents the first movie, the card’s value is$172.25. After she rents the second movie, its value is $169.50. After she rents the third movie,
the card is worth $166.75.
Assuming the pattern continues, write an equation to define A(n), the amount of money on the
rental card after n rentals.
Caitlin rents a movie every Friday night. How many weeks in a row can she afford to rent a movie,
using her rental card only? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

The equation A(n)= $175 –(n x $2.75) would define the amount of money on the
rental card after (n) rentals.

According to the pattern given, $2.75 will be deducted to the rental card every after Caitlin rents a movie. We can simply divide the amount of the card which is $175 by $2.75 which we presume the rental fee. From that, we can have a result of 63.63 rentals using her card. Therefore, there will be 63.63 weeks Caitlin can afford to rent a movie.

There are 2,100 bacteria in a circular petri dish. The dish has a radius of 40 millimeters. What is the approximate population density? (Use 3.14 for π)

Answers

A petri dish is simply a circle; thus, we use the formula of the area of the circle which is πr^2. 
Given r = 40 mm
A = 
π(40)^2 = 5026.55 sq. mm

Population density = bacteria count / area
PD = 2,100 / 5026.55
PD = 
0.417782 bacteria / mm sq.

Therefore, the answer is approximately 0.418 
bacteria per square millimeter.
Determine the area of the circular petri dish through the equation, A = πr^2. Substituting the radius to the equation and solving for area gives, 5024 mm^2. The population density is obtained by dividing the population with the calculated area. Thus, the population density is approximately 0.418 bacteria per mm^2.
