In the diagram, ABC is a triangle in which AB = 4 cm, BC = 6 cm and angle ABC = 150°. The line CX is perpendicular to the line ABX.
(i) Find the exact length of BX and show that angle CAB = tan^-1 (3/4+3√3)
(ii)
Show that the exact length of AC is √52 + 24√3 cm.
Answers
Part (i)
Angle ABC is 150 degrees. The angle CBX is supplementary to this, so,
(angleABC)+(angleCBX) = 180
angle CBX = 180-(angleABC)
angle CBX = 180-150
angle CBX = 30 degrees
Because of the right angle marker at point X, we can find that triangle CBX is a 30-60-90 triangle. This special type of right triangle has its hypotenuse twice as long as the short leg, which we'll call y. The long leg is equal to y*sqrt(3) units.
The diagram shows BC = 6 is the hypotenuse, so the short leg is y = 6/2 = 3. The longer leg is y*sqrt(3) = 3*sqrt(3) which is the distance from B to X.
In summary so far,
CX = 3
BX = 3*sqrt(3)
We have enough information to find the tangent of angle CAB, and then find the actual angle itself.
tan(angle CAB) = opposite/adjacent
tan(angle CAB) = (CX)/(AX)
tan(angle CAB) = 3/(4+3*sqrt(3))
angle CAB = arctan( 3/(4+3*sqrt(3)) )
I'm using arctan in place of tan^(-1) which is the same basic function, just different notation.
========================================================
Part (ii)
Focus on triangle AXC. The legs we found were
AX = 4+3*sqrt(3)
CX = 3
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse AC
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(AX)^2 + (CX)^2 = (AC)^2
(AC)^2 = (AX)^2 + (CX)^2
(AC)^2 = (4+3*sqrt(3))^2 + (3)^2
(AC)^2 = (4+3*sqrt(3))(4+3*sqrt(3)) + 9
(AC)^2 = 4(4+3*sqrt(3))+3*sqrt(3)(4+3*sqrt(3)) + 9
(AC)^2 = 16+12*sqrt(3)+12*sqrt(3)+27 + 9
(AC)^2 = 52+24*sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt( 52+24*sqrt(3) )
Note that AC is a length so AC is positive. We don't have to worry about the plus minus.
This is known as a nested radical since one square root is buried in another.
We can write that as [tex]AC = \sqrt{52 + 24\sqrt{3}}[/tex] if you're curious as to how that looks on paper.
Using your calculator, you should find that,
[tex]\sqrt{52+24\sqrt{3}} \approx 9.673118[/tex]

The cost $y$ (in dollars) to rent a kayak is proportional to the number $x$ of hours that you rent the kayak. It costs $27 to rent the kayak for 5 hours
Answers
Note: Consider we need to find the constant of proportionality.
Given:
The cost y (in dollars) to rent a kayak is proportional to the number x of hours that you rent the kayak.
It costs $27 to rent the kayak for 5 hours.
To find:
The constant of proportionality.
Solution:
The cost y (in dollars) to rent a kayak is proportional to the number x of hours that you rent the kayak.
[tex]y\propto x[/tex]
[tex]y=kx[/tex]
where, k is constant of proportionality.
It costs $27 to rent the kayak for 5 hours. So, put x=5 and y=27 in the above equation.
[tex]27=k(5)[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5.
[tex]\dfrac{27}{5}=k[/tex]
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is [tex]\dfrac{27}{5}[/tex].

Which linear equations have an infinite number of solutions? Check all that apply.
(x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )
8(x + 2) = 5x – 14
12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)
1\2(6x + 10) = 7(3\7x – 2)
4.2x – 3.5 = 2.1 (5x + 8)
Answers
Answer:
a) (x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )
c) 12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation can be said to have an infinite number of solutions when the number of the right hand side is the same at the number on the left hand side of the equation.
For example:
2 = 2 or x = x or 0 = 0
Solving the question above:
Which linear equations have an infinite number of solutions? Check all that apply.
a) (x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )
x - 3/7 = 6x/6 - 18/42
x - 3/7 = x - 3/7
Collect like terms
x - x = -3/7 + 3/7
0 = 0
The linear equation in option a has an infinite number of solutions
b) 8(x + 2) = 5x – 14
8x + 16 = 5x - 14
Collect like terms
8x - 5x = -14 - 16
3x = -30
x = -30/3
x = -10.
The linear equation in Option b has a true solution.
c) 12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)
12.3x - 18 = -18 + 12.3x
Collect like terms
12.3x - 12.3x = -18 + 18
0 = 0
The linear equation in Option c has infinite number of solutions
d) 1\2(6x + 10) = 7(3\7x – 2)
6x/2 + 5 = 21/7x - 14
3x + 5 = 3x - 14
Collect like terms
3x - 3x = -14 - 5
0 = -19
The linear equation Option d has no solution
e) 4.2x – 3.5 = 2.1 (5x + 8)
4.2x - 3.5 = 10.5x + 16.8
Collect like terms
4.2x - 10.5x = 16.8 + 3.5
-6.3x = 20.3
x = -20.3/6.3
x = -3.22
Hence, the linear equation in Option e has a true solution
Therefore, the linear equations have an infinite number of solutions are:
a) (x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )
c) 12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)
Answer(x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 ) and (12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)

Emily is preparing cookies for her friends she is at the market where she sees a 14 ounce bag of chocolate chips for 3.50 the market also sells a 24 ounce bag for 5.28 which size bag is better to buy
Answers
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Bag 1:
[tex]14\ ounce = 3.50[/tex]
Bag 2:
[tex]24\ ounce = 5.28[/tex]
Required
Which is a better buy
To get which buy is better, we first get the unit price of each bag.
[tex]Unit\ Price = Amount/Size[/tex]
For bag 1:
[tex]Unit\ Price = 3.50/14[/tex]
[tex]Unit\ Price = 0.25[/tex]
For bag 2:
[tex]Unit\ Price = 5.28/24[/tex]
[tex]Unit\ Price = 0.22[/tex]
The best buy is the one with smaller unit price
Hence, bag 2 is better to buy

The three-digit number "ab5" is divisible by 3. How many different three-digit numbers can "ab5" represent?
Answers
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
I can't prove this, but I can tell you the answer.
30.
a = 100 s digit
b = 10 s digit
5 is always the units digit.
I'm pretty sure that 30 is the correct answer.
What an interesting question. If I find out how it is done, I'll post it in the comments.
I can say this much.
a + b + 5 must be divisible by 3.
a = 1 b = 9 + 5
a = 1 b = 6 + 5
a = 1 b = 3 + 5
a = 1 b = 0 + 5
===============
Three more are obtained by interchanging the 100s and 10s digit except for b = 0
a = 9 b=1 + 5
a = 6 b =1 + 5
a = 3 b= 1 + 5
==================
a = 2 b = 2 + 5
a = 2 b = 5 + 5
a = 2 b = 8 + 5
only 2 more are obtained by interchanging the 10s and 100s digit
=============
a = 3 b = 4 +5
a = 3 b = 7 +5
You can't go any further. You get 2 more by interchanging the b and a digits.
=============
I hope you see what I've done here. I don't think this is an exact proof, but it is an exhaustive search.
