In acute triangle $ABC$ , the measure of $\angle A$ is $74^\circ$ . The altitude from vertex $B$ to side $AC$ and the altitude from vertex $C$ to side $AB$ intersect at point $H$ inside the triangle. What is the measure, in degrees, of $\angle BHC$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 106

Cevap

The measure of

\angle BHC

is 106 degrees.

In quadrilateral

AEHD

, the sum of the angles is

360^\circ

. Since the angles at

E

and

D

are

90^\circ

because they are formed by altitudes, the sum of

\angle A

and

\angle EHD

must be

180^\circ

. Thus,

\angle EHD = 180^\circ - 74^\circ = 106^\circ

. Since

\angle BHC

and

\angle EHD

are vertical angles,

\angle BHC = 106^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Define the intersection points of the altitudes with the opposite sides.

Let the altitude from vertex

B

intersect side

AC

at point

D

, and let the altitude from vertex

C

intersect side

AB

at point

E

. Therefore,

\angle ADH = 90^\circ

and

\angle AEH = 90^\circ

.

Altitudes by definition are perpendicular to the sides they intersect, forming

90^\circ

angles.

2

Analyze the sum of interior angles in the quadrilateral

AEHD

.

The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is

360^\circ

, so

\angle A + \angle AEH + \angle EHD + \angle ADH = 360^\circ

.

Any quadrilateral can be split into two triangles, making the sum of its interior angles

360^\circ

.

3

Substitute the known angle measures to find the measure of

\angle EHD

.

74^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle EHD + 90^\circ = 360^\circ \implies 254^\circ + \angle EHD = 360^\circ \implies \angle EHD = 106^\circ

.

Solving the linear equation for the unknown angle

\angle EHD

.

4

Relate

\angle EHD

to the target angle

\angle BHC

.

Since line segments

BD

and

CE

intersect at

H

, the angles

\angle BHC

and

\angle EHD

are vertical angles, so

\angle BHC = \angle EHD = 106^\circ

.

Vertical angles are equal in measure.

A circle in the first quadrant of the standard $(x,y)$ coordinate plane is tangent to the $x$ -axis and is also tangent to the line $y = \frac{4}{3}x$ . If the center of the circle lies on the line with equation $y = 3x - 10$ , what is the radius of the circle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

The radius of the circle is 2.

The correct answer is obtained by determining that the center of a circle tangent to the

x

-axis in the first quadrant has the form

(h, R)

where

R

is the radius. Using the distance from this point to the line

4x - 3y = 0

gives

h = 2R

to ensure the center remains in the first quadrant. Substituting

(2R, R)

into the line

y = 3x - 10

yields

R = 3(2R) - 10

, which solves to

R = 2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the relation between the circle's center coordinates and its radius.

The center is

(h, R)

where

R

is the radius.

Because the circle is tangent to the

x

-axis and lies in the first quadrant, the y-coordinate of its center must equal its radius.

2

Apply the point-to-line distance formula from the center to the line

y = \frac{4}{3}x

.

The relation is

|4h - 3R| = 5R

.

The distance from the center

(h, R)

to the line

4x - 3y = 0

must equal the radius

R

.

3

Solve the absolute value equation for

h

in terms of

R

.

Since

h > 0

, we find

h = 2R

.

The positive case

4h - 3R = 5R

gives

h = 2R

, whereas the negative case

4h - 3R = -5R

gives a negative

h

which violates the first-quadrant condition.

4

Substitute the center coordinates

(2R, R)

into the line

y = 3x - 10

and solve for

R

.

R = 2

.

The center lies on this line, so its coordinates must satisfy the line's equation.

The sum of the

y

-coordinates of the intersection points is 4.

Substituting

y = 3x - 1

into the circle's equation gives

(x-1)^2 + (3x-3)^2 = 10

. Factoring out 3 from the second term yields

(x-1)^2 + 9(x-1)^2 = 10

, which simplifies to

10(x-1)^2 = 10

The area of the rectangle is 30 square units.

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. By finding the difference between the x-coordinates of the horizontal vertices (

4 - (-2) = 6

) and the difference between the y-coordinates of the vertical vertices (

2 - (-3) = 5

), we find the dimensions to be 6 and 5. Multiplying these gives

6 \times 5 = 30

A straight hiking trail ascends a hill at a constant incline. On a coordinate grid where the units represent meters, the path of the trail is a straight line starting at the coordinate point $(10, 150)$ and ending at the coordinate point $(90, 190)$ . What is the slope of this trail?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 0.5

Cevap

The correct answer is

0.5

(or

\frac{1}{2}

).

The slope of a line is defined as the change in the

y

-coordinates divided by the change in the

x

-coordinates:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

. By substituting the coordinates of the start of the trail

(10, 150)

and the end of the trail

(90, 190)

, we calculate

\frac{190 - 150}{90 - 10} = \frac{40}{80} = 0.5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the coordinates from the problem statement.

(x_1, y_1) = (10, 150)

and

(x_2, y_2) = (90, 190)

To calculate the slope between two points, we first need to define their coordinates.

2

Recall the formula for the slope of a line passing through two points.

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Slope represents the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run).

3

Substitute the coordinate values into the slope formula and simplify.

m = \frac{190 - 150}{90 - 10} = \frac{40}{80} = 0.5

Plugging the values into the formula yields the constant rate of change (slope) of the trail.

The total area of the triangle is 6. To divide the triangle into two equal-area regions, each region must have an area of 3. Since point

P(4,7)

\frac{3}{4}

of the way from

A

to

C

, the area of the sub-triangle

\triangle PBC

is only

\frac{1}{4} \times 6 = 1.5

. Thus, the dividing line must intersect side

AB

at a point

Q

to form

\triangle APQ

with an area of 3. Using the area ratio formula,

\text{Area}(\triangle APQ) = \frac{AP}{AC} \times \frac{AQ}{AB} \times \text{Area}(\triangle ABC) \implies 3 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{AQ}{AB} \times 6

, which gives

\frac{AQ}{AB} = \frac{2}{3}

A + \frac{2}{3}(B - A) = (1, 1) + \frac{2}{3}(9, 15) = (7, 11)

m\angle P + m\angle Q + m\angle R = 180^\circ

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle is always 180 degrees.

3

Solve for the measure of angle R

m\angle R = 60^\circ

Substitute the values of angles P and Q into the equation: 40 + 80 + m\angle R = 180, which simplifies to 120 + m\angle R = 180, and solving for m\angle R gives 60.

A landscaping company charges a one-time equipment mobilization fee of $45$ plus an hourly labor rate of $32.50$ per worker. A homeowner hires a crew of $3$ workers to clear their yard. If the total bill for the job is $435$ dollars, for how many hours did the crew work?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

4

The total cost of

435

dollars is the sum of the one-time

45

dollar mobilization fee and the hourly labor cost of

32.50

dollars per worker for

3

workers over

h

hours. This translates to the equation

45 + 3(32.50)h = 435

, which simplifies to

45 + 97.50h = 435

. Subtracting

45

from both sides gives

97.50h = 390

. Dividing by

97.50

yields

h = 4

hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the algebraic expression representing the total cost based on the number of hours worked,

h

. The total cost consists of a fixed mobilization fee of

45

dollars and a variable labor cost of

32.50

dollars per worker per hour.

45 + 3(32.50)h

To represent the relation between the hours worked and the total charge.

2

Equate the expression for the total cost to the actual total bill of

435

dollars and simplify the labor rate coefficient.

45 + 97.50h = 435

To form a solvable linear equation in terms of the unknown number of hours,

h

.

3

Subtract the fixed mobilization fee of

45

from both sides of the equation.

97.50h = 390

To isolate the term containing the variable

h

.

4

Divide both sides of the equation by

97.50

to solve for

h

.

h = 4

To determine the number of hours the crew worked.

In the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane, a line $L_1$ is perpendicular to the line that contains the points $(3, 5)$ and $(-1, 8)$ . If $L_1$ is also parallel to the line defined by the equation $ax + 6y = 15$ , what is the value of the constant $a$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -8

Cevap

The value of the constant

a

is

-8

.

The slope of the line containing

(3, 5)

and

(-1, 8)

is

-\frac{3}{4}

. The slope of a line perpendicular to it is the negative reciprocal, which is

\frac{4}{3}

. Because line

L_1

is parallel to the line

ax + 6y = 15

, they must have equal slopes. The slope of

ax + 6y = 15

is

-\frac{a}{6}

. Setting the two slopes equal gives

-\frac{a}{6} = \frac{4}{3}

, which yields

a = -8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the slope of the line containing the points

(3, 5)

and

(-1, 8)

.

The slope is

-\frac{3}{4}

.

Using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

for the points

(3, 5)

and

(-1, 8)

, we get

m = \frac{8 - 5}{-1 - 3} = \frac{3}{-4} = -\frac{3}{4}

.

2

Determine the slope of line

L_1

using the perpendicular relationship.

The slope of

L_1

is

\frac{4}{3}

.

Since line

L_1

is perpendicular to the line with slope

-\frac{3}{4}

, its slope must be the negative reciprocal, which is

-\frac{1}{-3/4} = \frac{4}{3}

.

3

Express the slope of the line

ax + 6y = 15

in terms of

a

.

The slope is

-\frac{a}{6}

.

Rewriting the equation

ax + 6y = 15

in slope-intercept form (

y = mx + b

) gives

6y = -ax + 15

, which simplifies to

y = -\frac{a}{6}x + \frac{5}{2}

. The slope is the coefficient of

x

, which is

-\frac{a}{6}

.

4

Set the slope of

L_1

equal to the slope of the parallel line to solve for

a

.

a = -8

Because line

L_1

is parallel to the line

ax + 6y = 15

, their slopes are equal:

-\frac{a}{6} = \frac{4}{3}

. Multiplying both sides by

-6

gives

a = -8

.

If $u$ and $v$ are positive real numbers such that $\frac{(u^{-2} v^3)^3}{u^k v^{-1}} = \frac{v^{10}}{u^{10}}$ , what is the value of the exponent $k$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The value of the exponent is 4.

By applying the exponent rules systematically, the expression on the left simplifies to

u^{-6-k} v^{10}

, and the expression on the right is

u^{-10} v^{10}

. Equating the exponents of

u

gives

-6-k = -10

, which solves to

k = 4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the power of a product and power of a power properties to the numerator

(u^{-2} v^3)^3

.

u^{-6} v^9

According to the power of a product rule,

(xy)^a = x^a y^a

, and the power of a power rule,

(x^a)^b = x^{ab}

.

2

Use the quotient of powers property to simplify the left side of the equation.

u^{-6-k} v^{10}

The quotient of powers rule states that

\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}

, so the exponents of like bases are subtracted:

-6 - k

for

u

and

9 - (-1) = 10

for

v

.

3

Rewrite the right side of the equation,

\frac{v^{10}}{u^{10}}

, using a negative exponent.

u^{-10} v^{10}

Applying the negative exponent rule,

\frac{1}{x^a} = x^{-a}

.

4

Set the simplified expressions equal and solve for

k

.

k = 4

Since

u^{-6-k} v^{10} = u^{-10} v^{10}

, the exponents of the base

u

must be equal. Therefore,

-6 - k = -10

, which simplifies to

k = 4

.

What value of the base $b$ satisfies the equation $\log_b (3b + 10) = 2$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The correct answer is 5.

Applying the definition of logarithms to the equation

\log_b(3b + 10) = 2

converts it to the quadratic equation

b^2 = 3b + 10

. Subtracting

3b

and

10

from both sides results in

b^2 - 3b - 10 = 0

. Factoring the quadratic yields

(b - 5)(b + 2) = 0

, giving the potential solutions

b = 5

and

b = -2

. Because the base of a logarithm must be positive (

b > 0

), the negative solution is extraneous. This leaves

5

as the only valid base.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the logarithm to exponential form.

b^2 = 3b + 10

By the definition of logarithms,

\log_b(x) = y

is equivalent to

b^y = x

.

2

Rearrange into standard quadratic form.

b^2 - 3b - 10 = 0

Subtracting

3b

and

10

from both sides sets the quadratic expression equal to zero.

3

Factor the quadratic equation.

(b - 5)(b + 2) = 0

Finding two integers that multiply to

-10

and add to

-3

gives

-5

and

2

.

4

Solve for the variable and apply base constraints.

b = 5

Solving the factored equation yields

b = 5

or

b = -2

. Since a logarithmic base must be strictly positive (

b > 0

), we reject

b = -2

as extraneous, leaving

b = 5

.

In a triangle, two of the sides have lengths $13$ and $20$ . The third side has a length of $s$ , where $s$ is an integer. If the side of length $20$ is the longest side of the triangle, and the triangle is obtuse, what is the number of possible values for $s$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

There are 8 possible integer values for

s

.

To find the number of possible integer values for

s

, we combine the Triangle Inequality Theorem (

13 + s > 20 \implies s > 7

) and the condition for an obtuse triangle with

20

as the longest side (

20^2 > 13^2 + s^2 \implies s^2 < 231 \implies s \leq 15

). This limits

s

to integers in the range

[8, 15]

, which contains exactly

8

values.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the lower bound for

s

.

s > 7

, so the minimum integer value is

8

.

The sum of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be strictly greater than the longest side.

2

Set up the obtuse triangle inequality with

20

as the longest side.

20^2 > 13^2 + s^2

In any obtuse triangle with longest side

c

, the inequality

c^2 > a^2 + b^2

must hold.

3

Solve the inequality

20^2 > 13^2 + s^2

for

s

.

s^2 < 231 \implies s \leq 15

Simplifying the inequality gives

400 > 169 + s^2 \implies s^2 < 231

. The largest integer whose square is less than

231

is

15

.

The functions $f$ and $g$ are defined for all permissible real numbers by $f(x) = \frac{x + 3}{x - 1}$ and $g(x) = 2x - 5$ . If $(f \circ g)(x) = 3$ , what is the value of $x$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The value of

x

that satisfies the equation

(f \circ g)(x) = 3

is

4

.

To solve for

x

in

(f \circ g)(x) = 3

, we find the composite function

f(g(x))

by substituting

g(x) = 2x - 5

into

f(x)

. This yields

f(g(x)) = \frac{(2x-5)+3}{(2x-5)-1} = \frac{2x-2}{2x-6}

. Setting this equal to

3

gives

\frac{2x-2}{2x-6} = 3

. Multiplying by

2x-6

yields

2x-2 = 6x-18

. Rearranging terms to isolate

x

gives

4x = 16

, which results in

x = 4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Substitute the expression for

g(x)

into

f(x)

to obtain the composite function

(f \circ g)(x)

.

(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{2x - 2}{2x - 6}

By definition of function composition,

(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))

. Substituting

g(x) = 2x - 5

into

f(x) = \frac{x+3}{x-1}

yields

f(2x-5) = \frac{(2x-5)+3}{(2x-5)-1}

, which simplifies to

\frac{2x-2}{2x-6}

.

2

Set the composite function expression equal to

3

and solve for

x

.

x = 4

We set

\frac{2x-2}{2x-6} = 3

. Multiplying both sides by the denominator

2x-6

gives

2x-2 = 3(2x-6)

. Expanding the right side gives

2x-2 = 6x-18

. Subtracting

2x

from both sides and adding

18

to both sides results in

16 = 4x

. Dividing by

4

gives

x = 4

0.6

. The equation becomes

0.6(2x - 7) + 0.4 = 0.2(x + 3)

. Distribute on both sides to get

1.2x - 4.2 + 0.4 = 0.2x + 0.6

. Combine constant terms on the left side to get

1.2x - 3.8 = 0.2x + 0.6

. Subtract

0.2x

and add

3.8

to both sides to isolate the variable, resulting in

x = 4.4
