Start by letting x represent the number of Sam's pencils. Then Sari has 3x (since she has three times as many)

Together they total 28 pencils:
x + 3x = 28
4x = 28 /:4 (divide both sides by 4)
x = 7
So Sam has 7 pencils.
Sari, having three times as many, has 7 * 3 = 21.[[TAG_8]]

Identify the errors made in finding the inverse of y = x2 + 12x. An image shows a student's work. Line 1 is x = y squared + 12 x

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The three errors are:

1) Incorrectly swapping the variables x and y.

2) Failure to use the ± symbol.

3) The domain is wrong; it should be x ≤ 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Review the following steps.

$y = x^2 + 12x$

Step 1: $x = y^2 + 12x$

The initial step is incorrect because the variables x and y were switched improperly; it should be:

$x=y^2+12y$

Step 2: $y^2= x-12x$

Step 3: $y^2= -11 x$

Step 4: $y=\sqrt{-11x}$ , for x ≥ 0

Step 4 contains an error as the ± sign is required. Additionally, the function's domain is inaccurately stated.

The radicand must be nonnegative, implying that x must satisfy x ≤ 0.

4/9 divided by what equals 12?<br> :)

Inessa [12570]

Answer:

To solve (4/9)/x = 12, multiply both sides by x to get (4/9) = 12x. Then, divide both sides by 12. The answer is 27.

I hope this is helpful!

Given: KL ║ NM , LM = 45, m∠M = 50° KN ⊥ NM , NL ⊥ LM Find: KN and KL

Leona [12618]

Answer:

$KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08\\ \\KN=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

KL ║ NM,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

KN ⊥ NM

NL ⊥ LM

To determine: KN and KL

1. Analyzing triangle NLM, we see it is a right triangle due to NL ⊥ LM. In this context,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

Consequently,

$\tan \angle M=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}=\dfrac{NL}{LM}=\dfrac{NL}{45}\\ \\NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

It is also true that

(angles LNM and M are complementary). $m\angle LNM=90^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$

2. Now considering triangle NKL, it also forms a right triangle as KN ⊥ NM. Within this triangle,

$NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

$m\angle KLN=m\angle LNM=40^{\circ}$ (alternate interior angles)

$m\angle KNL=90^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ (angles KNL and KLN are complementary).

Thus,

$\sin \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KL}{LN}=\dfrac{KL}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08$

and

$\cos \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KN}{LN}=\dfrac{KN}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KN=45\tan 50^{\circ}\cos 50^{\circ}=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$
