In the standard $(x,y)$ coordinate plane, a square has two adjacent vertices at $A(1, 4)$ and $B(4, 8)$ . If the square lies entirely in the first quadrant, what is the $x$ -coordinate of the vertex diagonally opposite to $A$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The

x

-coordinate of the vertex diagonally opposite to

A

is

8

.

The vector from

A(1,4)

to

B(4,8)

is

\vec{AB} = (3,4)

with length

5

. Since the adjacent sides of a square must be perpendicular and equal in length, the vector translation must be either

(4, -3)

or

(-4, 3)

. Applying the translation

(4, -3)

to

B

and

A

gives

C(8, 5)

and

D(5, 1)

, both of which lie strictly in the first quadrant. The diagonally opposite vertex to

A

is

C

, and its

x

-coordinate is

8

.

1

Calculate the vector representing side

AB

and its length.

\vec{AB} = (3, 4)

, which has a length of

\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5

.

This determines the length and orientation of the square's base.

2

Determine the perpendicular vectors of equal length to find the directions of the adjacent sides.

The perpendicular vectors of length

5

are

(4, -3)

and

(-4, 3)

.

The adjacent sides of a square are perpendicular and equal in length to side

AB

.

3

Find the coordinates of the other two vertices for both possible positions of the square.

Position 1 vertices:

C = B + (4, -3) = (8, 5)

and

D = A + (4, -3) = (5, 1)

. Position 2 vertices:

C' = B + (-4, 3) = (0, 11)

and

D' = A + (-4, 3) = (-3, 7)

.

Adding the perpendicular vectors to the coordinates of the base vertices yields the remaining vertices.

4

Determine which square lies entirely in the first quadrant and identify the target coordinate.

The square

ABCD

with vertices

C(8, 5)

and

D(5, 1)

lies entirely in the first quadrant because all

x

- and

y

-coordinates are positive. The vertex diagonally opposite to

A

is

C(8, 5)

, which has an

x

-coordinate of

8

.

The alternative square

ABC'D'

has a vertex at

D'(-3, 7)

, which lies in the second quadrant.

A commercial building has two water reservoirs. Reservoir $X$ contains $1,200$ gallons of water and is draining at a constant rate of $18$ gallons per minute. Reservoir $Y$ contains $360$ gallons of water and is being filled at a constant rate of $22$ gallons per minute. After how many minutes will both reservoirs contain the exact same amount of water?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 21

Cevap

The two reservoirs will contain the same amount of water after 21 minutes.

The correct answer is 21 minutes. By setting the expressions for the volume of both reservoirs equal (

1,200 - 18t = 360 + 22t

) and isolating the variable, we find

40t = 840

, which simplifies to

t = 21

minutes.

3

Set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for

t

.

1,200 - 18t = 360 + 22t \implies 840 = 40t \implies t = 21

Equating the two volume expressions allows us to find the time

Instead of solving algebraically, one can check the rates of change relative to each other. The distance between the initial volumes is

1,200 - 360 = 840

gallons. Since they are moving toward each other (one draining, one filling), their relative rate of convergence is

18 + 22 = 40

gallons per minute. Dividing the total volume difference by the rate of convergence gives

840 / 40 = 21

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16.50

Cevap

The cost of a bag of Reserve Blend is 16.50 dollars.

The cost of a bag of Reserve Blend is 16.50 dollars. Let

x

represent the cost of a bag of House Blend. A bag of Reserve Blend costs

3x - 4.50

. Since the total cost for

3

bags of House Blend and

2

bags of Reserve Blend is

54.00

, we write the linear equation

3x + 2(3x - 4.50) = 54

. Expanding the terms gives

3x + 6x - 9 = 54

, which simplifies to

9x - 9 = 54

. Adding

9

to both sides yields

9x = 63

. Dividing by

9

gives

x = 7.00

. Substituting

7.00

back into the Reserve Blend expression yields

3(7.00) - 4.50 = 16.50

dollars.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define variables for the costs of each blend.

Let

x

represent the cost of a bag of House Blend in dollars. The cost of a bag of Reserve Blend is represented by the expression

3x - 4.50

.

Establishing algebraic expressions for the unknowns based on the problem description allows us to set up a linear equation.

2

Set up the linear equation based on the total cost of the purchase.

The total cost of

3

bags of House Blend and

2

bags of Reserve Blend is

54.00

dollars:

3(x) + 2(3x - 4.50) = 54

.

The sum of the individual total costs of the two blends must equal the overall purchase total.

3

Distribute and combine like terms to simplify the equation.

3x + 6x - 9 = 54

simplifies to

9x - 9 = 54

.

Applying the distributive property removes the parentheses, allowing like terms to be combined.

4

Isolate the variable term by adding

9

to both sides.

9x = 63

.

To solve for

x

, we must first isolate the term containing the variable by performing the inverse operation.

5

Solve for

x

by dividing both sides by

9

.

x = 7.00

.

Dividing isolates

x

, giving the cost of a bag of House Blend.

6

Calculate the cost of a bag of Reserve Blend using the expression from Step 1.

3(7.00) - 4.50 = 21.00 - 4.50 = 16.50

dollars.

The question asks for the cost of a bag of Reserve Blend, not the House Blend, so we evaluate the expression

3x - 4.50

at

x = 7.00

.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $-\frac{1}{2}$

Cevap

The slope of the line could be

-\frac{1}{2}

.

The correct answer is

-\frac{1}{2}

. By setting the

x

-intercept of the line to

(a, 0)

and the

y

-intercept to

(0, b)

, the distance condition gives

|a| = 2|b|

. Substituting the point

(2, -3)

into the intercept equation of a line,

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1

, yields

\frac{2}{a} - \frac{3}{b} = 1

. Solving the two cases (

a = 2b

and

a = -2b

) gives the intercept pairs

(-4, -2)

and

(8, -4)

. Calculating the slope

m = -\frac{b}{a}

for both pairs results in

-\frac{1}{2}

and

\frac{1}{2}

. Since

-\frac{1}{2}

is one of these possible values, it is the correct choice.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Represent the line

L

using its intercepts. Let the

x

-intercept of

L

be

(a, 0)

and the

y

-intercept be

(0, b)

. Since the line does not pass through the origin, we have

a \neq 0

and

b \neq 0

.

The equation of the line can be written in intercept form as:

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1

Using intercept form allows us to directly relate the coordinates of the intercepts to the given point and the distance condition.

2

Translate the distance condition and the given point into equations. The distance from the origin to the

x

-intercept is

|a|

, and the distance to the

y

-intercept is

|b|

. The problem states that the distance to the

x

-intercept is twice the distance to the

y

-intercept, so

|a| = 2|b|

. Additionally, the line passes through

(2, -3)

, so we substitute

x = 2

and

y = -3

into the intercept equation.

|a| = 2|b|

and

\frac{2}{a} - \frac{3}{b} = 1

This sets up a system of equations to solve for the unknown intercepts

a

and

b

.

3

Solve the system of equations by analyzing the two cases for the absolute value:

a = 2b

and

a = -2b

.

Case 1: If

a = 2b

, then

\frac{2}{2b} - \frac{3}{b} = 1 \implies \frac{1}{b} - \frac{3}{b} = 1 \implies -\frac{2}{b} = 1 \implies b = -2

, which gives

a = -4

. Case 2: If

a = -2b

, then

\frac{2}{-2b} - \frac{3}{b} = 1 \implies -\frac{1}{b} - \frac{3}{b} = 1 \implies -\frac{4}{b} = 1 \implies b = -4

, which gives

a = 8

.

Resolving the absolute value yields the exact coordinates of the intercepts for both valid scenarios.

4

Calculate the slope

m

for both cases using the formula

m = -\frac{b}{a}

.

For Case 1,

m = -\frac{-2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}

. For Case 2,

m = -\frac{-4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}

.

The slope of a line with intercepts

(a, 0)

and

In a triangle, the lengths of the sides are $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ , where $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ are integers such that $x < y < z$ . If $x = 7$ and the perimeter of the triangle is $32$ , what is the number of possible integer values for $z$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

There are exactly 3 possible integer values for the side length z.

The correct answer is 3. By expressing the second side as

y = 25 - z

and applying the ordering constraint

7 < 25 - z < z

, we determine that

12.5 < z < 18

. Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem (

7 + y > z

) yields the restriction

z < 16

. Combining these conditions restricts the integer values of

z

to

\{13, 14, 15\}

, which counts to exactly 3 possible values.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the side length

y

in terms of

z

.

y = 25 - z

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the side lengths:

x + y + z = 32

. Substituting

x = 7

gives

7 + y + z = 32

, which simplifies to

y = 25 - z

.

2

Apply the given inequality constraint

x < y < z

to find initial bounds for

z

.

12.5 < z < 18

Substituting

x = 7

and

y = 25 - z

into

x < y < z

yields

7 < 25 - z < z

. The left inequality

7 < 25 - z

simplifies to

z < 18

. The right inequality

25 - z < z

simplifies to

25 < 2z

, or

z > 12.5

.

3

Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem to establish the final constraint on

z

.

z < 16

Since

z

is the longest side, the sum of the two shorter sides must be strictly greater than

z

:

x + y > z

. Substituting

x = 7

and

y = 25 - z

gives

7 + 25 - z > z

, which simplifies to

32 > 2z

, or

z < 16

.

4

Combine all constraints and count the valid integer values for

z

.

3 possible values (

13, 14, 15

)

Combining the bounds from the steps gives

12.5 < z < 16

. The integers satisfying this inequality are

A shipping company charges a rate based on the weight of a package. The total cost $C$ , in dollars, to ship a package of weight $w$ pounds is given by the formula $C = \frac{5}{8}(w - 2) + 6.50$ for packages weighing more than $2$ pounds. If the shipping cost for a certain package is $\$14.00$ , what is the weight of the package, in pounds?

Cevap

The weight of the package is 14 pounds.

Substituting

C = 14.00

into the formula gives

14.00 = \frac{5}{8}(w - 2) + 6.50

. Subtracting

6.50

from both sides yields

7.50 = \frac{5}{8}(w - 2)

. Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal

\frac{8}{5}

to both sides gives the weight

w = 14

pounds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Substitute the total shipping cost into the formula.

14.00 = \frac{5}{8}(w - 2) + 6.50

Since the shipping cost

C

is given as

, we substitute this value into the formula to solve for the unknown weight

w

.

2

Subtract

6.50

from both sides of the equation.

7.50 = \frac{5}{8}(w - 2)

Subtracting

6.50

isolates the term containing the variable

w

on the right side of the equation.

3

Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction.

12 = w - 2

Multiplying by

eliminates the fractional coefficient of

\frac{5}{8}

on the right side.

Cevap: $x + 3y = 26$

Cevap

The equation of the line containing the other diagonal is

x + 3y = 26

.

The correct equation is

x + 3y = 26

. Since the diagonals of a square are perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals of each other. The given diagonal has a slope of

3

, meaning the other diagonal has a slope of

-\frac{1}{3}

. Since the vertex

(2, 8)

does not satisfy the equation of the first diagonal, it must lie on the second diagonal. Substituting this point into the slope-intercept or point-slope equation yields the standard form equation

x + 3y = 26

2

Determine the relationship between the two diagonals of a square.

The diagonals of a square are perpendicular to each other.

By geometric definition, the diagonals of any square intersect at right angles.

3

Calculate the slope of the perpendicular diagonal.

The slope of the perpendicular diagonal is

-\frac{1}{3}

.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so the perpendicular slope is

-\frac{1}{3}

.

4

Identify the point that the perpendicular diagonal passes through.

The perpendicular diagonal passes through the vertex

(2, 8)

.

The vertex

(2, 8)

does not lie on the first diagonal because

8 \neq 3(2) - 4

. Since a square only has two diagonals, any vertex not on the first diagonal must lie on the second diagonal.

5

Find the equation of the perpendicular diagonal using point-slope form.

The equation is

x + 3y = 26

.

Using the point-slope form

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

with

m = -\frac{1}{3}

and point

(2, 8)

yields

y - 8 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 2)

, which simplifies to

3(y - 8) = -(x - 2) \Rightarrow 3y - 24 = -x + 2 \Rightarrow x + 3y = 26

Cevap: 21

Cevap

The sum of all possible values of the third side length is 21.

To find the sum of all possible values of

x

, we first apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem. For a triangle with side lengths 5, 12, and

x

, the third side must satisfy

12 - 5 < x < 12 + 5

, which simplifies to

7 < x < 17

. The perimeter

P

of the triangle is given by

P = 5 + 12 + x = 17 + x

. Given that

7 < x < 17

, the perimeter must be between

17 + 7 = 24

and

17 + 17 = 34

. The only multiples of 5 within this range are 25 and 30. Setting the perimeter equal to these values gives

17 + x = 25 \implies x = 8

, and

17 + x = 30 \implies x = 13

. Both values are integers and satisfy the triangle inequality. The sum of these values is

8 + 13 = 21

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the range of possible values for the third side,

x

.

12 - 5 < x < 12 + 5

, which simplifies to

7 < x < 17

.

The length of any side of a triangle must be strictly greater than the difference between the other two sides and strictly less than their sum.

2

Determine the expression for the perimeter of the triangle and find the bounds for the perimeter.

Perimeter

P = 5 + 12 + x = 17 + x

. Since

7 < x < 17

, the perimeter must satisfy

17 + 7 < P < 17 + 17

, which means

24 < P < 34

.

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three side lengths.

3

Identify which values of the perimeter in this range are multiples of 5, and find the corresponding values of

x

.

The multiples of 5 between 24 and 34 are 25 and 30. If

P = 25

, then

17 + x = 25 \implies x = 8

. If

P = 30

, then

17 + x = 30 \implies x = 13

. Both

x = 8

and

x = 13

are integers that satisfy the initial inequality.

We must find the integer values of

x

that make the perimeter a multiple of 5.

4

Calculate the sum of all possible values of

x

.

8 + 13 = 21

The question asks for the sum of all valid integer values of

x

Cevap: $(x - 4)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 16$

Cevap

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 16

The correct equation is

(x - 4)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 16

. A circle with center

(h, k)

and radius

r

has the standard equation

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

. Substituting

(4, -2)

for the center gives

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

. Since the circle is tangent to the

y

-axis, the radius is the horizontal distance from the center to the line

x = 0

, which is

Cevap: $14.75$

Cevap

The package's total weight was 14.75 pounds.

The correct answer of 14.75 pounds is found by setting up the equation representing the total shipping cost. First, calculate the cost for the first 10 pounds, which is the flat fee of 15.00 dollars plus 2.50 dollars per pound for 10 pounds: 15 + 2.50(10) = 40.00 dollars. Since the total charge of 59.00 dollars is greater than 40.00 dollars, the package must weigh more than 10 pounds. Let w be the total weight of the package. The remaining weight exceeding 10 pounds is w - 10, which is charged at 4.00 dollars per pound. Setting up the equation: 40 + 4(w - 10) = 59. Solving for w gives: 4(w - 10) = 19, which simplifies to w - 10 = 4.75, so w = 14.75.

. Then, we apply the arithmetic series sum formula:

S_6 = \frac{6}{2}[2(\frac{1}{2}) + 5(\frac{1}{6})] = 3[1 + \frac{5}{6}] = 3(\frac{11}{6}) = \frac{11}{2}

The production cost is 9 dollars per gallon.

The correct answer is the value obtained by setting the two cost expressions equal, solving for

d = 20

back into either expression to find the cost of

9

dollars per gallon.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set the two production cost expressions equal to each other.

\frac{3}{4}(d - 8) = 0.2(2d + 5)

The problem states that the production cost per gallon is the same for both blends, so their algebraic representations must be equal.

2

Express the decimal as a fraction and solve for

d

.

15(d - 8) = 4(2d + 5) \implies 15d - 120 = 8d + 20 \implies 7d = 140 \implies d = 20

Converting

0.2

to

\frac{1}{5}

allows us to clear fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is

20

. We then distribute, isolate the variable terms, and solve for

3

Substitute the value of

d

back into either of the original cost expressions to find the production cost.

\text{Cost} = \frac{3}{4}(20 - 8) = \frac{3}{4}(12) = 9

The center of the circle is

The correct answer is

(4, 2)

(h, k)

is equidistant from all points on the circle. By setting up the distance formula from the center

(h, k)

to the points

(0,0)

,

(8,0)

, and

(2,6)

, we obtain the equations

h^2 + k^2 = (h-8)^2 + k^2

and

h^2 + k^2 = (h-2)^2 + (k-6)^2

. Solving the first equation yields

16h = 64

, which simplifies to

h = 4

. Substituting

h = 4

into the second equation yields

16 + k^2 = 4 + (k-6)^2

. Expanding and simplifying gives

16 = 40 - 12k

, which simplifies to

12k = 24

, or

k = 2

. Therefore, the center of the circle is

(4, 2)

Set up the distance formula equations for the center of the circle,

(h, k)

, which must be equidistant from the three points on the circle:

(0, 0)

,

(8, 0)

, and

(2, 6)

.

The distances from

(h, k)

to the points are

\sqrt{h^2 + k^2}

,

\sqrt{(h-8)^2 + k^2}

, and

\sqrt{(h-2)^2 + (k-6)^2}

. Since they are radii, we equate them:

h^2 + k^2 = (h-8)^2 + k^2 = (h-2)^2 + (k-6)^2

.

The distance from the center of a circle to any point on its circumference is equal to its radius.

2

Equate the distance to

(0,0)

and the distance to

(8,0)

, then solve for

h

.

h^2 + k^2 = (h-8)^2 + k^2 \implies h^2 = h^2 - 16h + 64 \implies 16h = 64 \implies h = 4

.

Since both points lie on the x-axis, the x-coordinate of the center must lie on the perpendicular bisector of the segment connecting them, which is

x = 4

.

Substitute

h = 4

into the equation equating the distance to

(0,0)

Cevap: False

Cevap

The statement is false because the requirement that the three points must be distinct eliminates one of the algebraic solutions for

k

, resulting in only one possible slope for the line.

The statement is false because equating the slopes between the points leads to the quadratic equation

k^2 - 11k + 28 = 0

, which has the solutions

k = 4

and

k = 7

. However, substituting

k = 4

back into the coordinates results in the points

(4, 4)

and

(4, 4)

, which are not distinct. Thus, only

k = 7

is a valid solution, which yields exactly one line with a slope of

-1

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the collinearity condition using the slope formula.

The slope of the segment connecting

(4, k)

and

(5, 6)

is

m_1 = \frac{6 - k}{5 - 4} = 6 - k

. The slope of the segment connecting

(k, 4)

and

(5, 6)

is

m_2 = \frac{6 - 4}{5 - k} = \frac{2}{5 - k}

. Equating the two slopes gives

6 - k = \frac{2}{5 - k}

.

For three points to be collinear, the slope between any two pairs of points must be equal.

2

Solve the rational equation for

k

.

Multiplying both sides by

5 - k

yields

(6 - k)(5 - k) = 2

, which expands to

30 - 11k + k^2 = 2

. Rearranging into standard quadratic form gives

k^2 - 11k + 28 = 0

. Factoring the quadratic yields

(k - 4)(k - 7) = 0

, giving the solutions

k = 4

or

k = 7

.

Finding the roots of the quadratic equation identifies the algebraic candidates for

k

Determine the number of possible slopes.

For the only valid value
