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

13

,

14

, and

15

, which gives a total of 3 possible integer values.

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?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 14

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}

yields

12 = w - 2

. Finally, adding

2

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

14.00

, 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

\frac{8}{5}

eliminates the fractional coefficient of

\frac{5}{8}

on the right side.

4

Add

2

to both sides of the equation to solve for

w

.

w = 14

Adding

2

isolates the variable

w

, giving the final weight of the package.

A line segment in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane has endpoints at $A(-1, 10)$ and $B(7, -2)$ . If point $M$ is the midpoint of this segment, what is the distance from $M$ to the origin $(0, 0)$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5

Cevap

The distance from the midpoint

M

to the origin is 5.

To find the distance from the midpoint

M

to the origin

(0,0)

, we first determine the coordinates of

M

by taking the average of the coordinates of

A(-1, 10)

and

B(7, -2)

. This results in

M\left(\frac{-1+7}{2}, \frac{10+(-2)}{2}\right) = (3, 4)

. Next, we apply the distance formula between

M(3,4)

and the origin

(0,0)

to get

\sqrt{(3-0)^2 + (4-0)^2} = \sqrt{9+16} = \sqrt{25} = 5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the coordinates of the midpoint

M

of the segment

AB

.

The midpoint is

M(3, 4)

.

The midpoint formula is

M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)

. Substituting the coordinates of

A(-1, 10)

and

B(7, -2)

gives the x-coordinate as

\frac{-1 + 7}{2} = 3

and the y-coordinate as

\frac{10 + (-2)}{2} = 4

.

2

Calculate the distance from the midpoint

M(3, 4)

to the origin

(0, 0)

.

The distance is 5.

The distance formula is

d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

. Substituting the coordinates of

M(3, 4)

and the origin

(0, 0)

gives

d = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (4 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5

Cevap: 14

Cevap

The correct value of

k

is 14.

The slope of the line

5x - 2y = 15

is found by solving for

y

, yielding

y = \frac{5}{2}x - 7.5

. The slope of any perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of

\frac{5}{2}

, which is

-\frac{2}{5}

. Given the

y

-intercept

(0, 12)

, the equation of the perpendicular line

is calculated as

\left(\frac{3+7}{2}, \frac{k+6}{2}\right) = \left(5, \frac{k+6}{2}\right)

. Since the midpoint lies on

L_1

, substituting

x = 5

into the line equation gives

y = -\frac{2}{5}(5) + 12 = 10

A circle in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane has a diameter with one endpoint at $(-3, 5)$ and its center at $(2, -7)$ . What is the $y$ -coordinate of the other endpoint of the diameter?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -19

Cevap

The y-coordinate of the other endpoint of the diameter is -19.

Because the center of a circle is the midpoint of any diameter, the midpoint formula applies. For the y-coordinate, the equation is

y_m = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}

. Substituting the y-coordinate of the given endpoint (

5

) and the center (

-7

) yields

-7 = \frac{5 + y_2}{2}

. Multiplying both sides by 2 gives

-14 = 5 + y_2

. Subtracting 5 from both sides results in

-19

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship between the circle's center and its diameter.

The center of the circle,

(2, -7)

, is the midpoint of the diameter.

By definition, the center of a circle bisects any diameter, making it the midpoint of the diameter's endpoints.

2

Apply the midpoint formula to set up an equation for the y-coordinate.

y_m = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}

The y-coordinate of a midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the two endpoints.

3

Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for the unknown y-coordinate.

y_2 = -19

Substituting the given y-coordinates yields

-7 = \frac{5 + y_2}{2}

. Multiplying by 2 gives

-14 = 5 + y_2

, and subtracting 5 from both sides yields

-19

.

A marathon runner plans to run a total of $d$ miles this week. The runner schedules $\frac{2}{3}(d - 6)$ miles of the run on soft dirt trails and $0.4(d + 15)$ miles on asphalt roads. If the runner completes only these two segments for a total of $34$ miles, what is the value of $d$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 30

Cevap

The value of

d

is 30.

The value of

d

that satisfies the equation is

30

because substituting

30

back into the original equation yields a true statement:

\frac{2}{3}(30 - 6) + 0.4(30 + 15) = 16 + 18 = 34

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the equation based on the given information: the trail running distance plus the road running distance equals the total distance.

\frac{2}{3}(d - 6) + 0.4(d + 15) = 34

This relates the individual segment distances to the total planned mileage of

34

miles.

2

Distribute the coefficients to eliminate the parentheses.

\frac{2}{3}d - 4 + 0.4d + 6 = 34

Distributing

\frac{2}{3}

to

(d-6)

gives

\frac{2}{3}d - 4

, and distributing

0.4

to

(d+15)

gives

0.4d + 6

.

3

Combine the constant terms on the left side of the equation.

\frac{2}{3}d + 0.4d + 2 = 34

Combining the constants

-4

and

6

yields

2

.

4

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable terms.

\frac{2}{3}d + 0.4d = 32

Subtracting

2

from both sides simplifies the equation to have variable terms on one side and constant terms on the other.

5

Convert the decimal

0.4

to a fraction to combine the coefficients of

d

.

\frac{2}{3}d + \frac{2}{5}d = 32

Converting

0.4

to

\frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}

allows us to work with a common denominator.

6

Find a common denominator to add the fractions.

\frac{10}{15}d + \frac{6}{15}d = 32 \Rightarrow \frac{16}{15}d = 32

The least common multiple of

3

and

5

is

15

.

7

Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of

d

to solve for

d

.

d = 32 \times \frac{15}{16} \Rightarrow d = 2 \times 15 \Rightarrow d = 30

Multiplying by

\frac{15}{16}

isolates

d

on the left side of the equation.

Anahtar Kavram

Solving linear equations involving fractions and decimals by distributing, combining like terms, and isolating the variable.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of converting the decimal

0.4

to a fraction, you can multiply the entire equation by a common multiple like

15

to eliminate both the fraction and the decimal:

15 \left[ \frac{2}{3}(d - 6) + 0.4(d + 15) \right] = 15(34) \Rightarrow 10(d - 6) + 6(d + 15) = 510 \Rightarrow 10d - 60 + 6d + 90 = 510 \Rightarrow 16d + 30 = 510 \Rightarrow 16d = 480 \Rightarrow d = 30

. This method avoids working with fractional coefficients.

Cevap

21

To find the coefficient of the

t^2

term, we perform polynomial multiplication on the expression

V(t) = 3t(2t - 1)(t + 4)

. First, multiplying the binomials

(2t - 1)(t + 4)

yields

2t^2 + 7t - 4

. Next, distributing the

3t

term to the trinomial yields

6t^3 + 21t^2 - 12t

. The coefficient of the

t^2

term in this standard form polynomial is 21.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Expand the product of the two binomials

(2t - 1)(t + 4)

.

2t^2 + 7t - 4

Use the distributive property (FOIL) to multiply the binomials:

2t(t) + 2t(4) - 1(t) - 1(4) = 2t^2 + 8t - t - 4 = 2t^2 + 7t - 4

.

2

Multiply the resulting trinomial by the monomial

3t

.

6t^3 + 21t^2 - 12t

Distribute

3t

to each term:

3t(2t^2) + 3t(7t) + 3t(-4) = 6t^3 + 21t^2 - 12t

.

The length of side

The altitude divides the acute triangle into two right triangles. In the first right triangle,

\triangle PQS

, the angles are

30^\circ

,

60^\circ

, and

90^\circ

, with a hypotenuse of

24

. This makes the adjacent leg

QS = 12

and the shared altitude

PS = 12\sqrt{3}

. In the second right triangle,

\triangle PRS

, the hypotenuse is

39

and one leg is

12\sqrt{3}

. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the other leg

SR = \sqrt{39^2 - (12\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1521 - 432} = \sqrt{1089} = 33

. Summing the two segments gives the total length of side

QR = 12 + 33 = 45

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the two right triangles formed by the altitude.

The altitude

PS

divides

\triangle PQR

into two adjacent right triangles:

\triangle PQS

and

\triangle PRS

, which share the side

PS

.

Establishing these right triangles allows us to apply right-triangle trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem.

2

Use the properties of the

30^\circ\text{-}60^\circ\text{-}90^\circ

triangle

\triangle PQS

to find

QS

and

PS

.

QS = 12

and

PS = 12\sqrt{3}

.

In a

30^\circ\text{-}60^\circ\text{-}90^\circ

triangle, the leg opposite the

30^\circ

angle is half the hypotenuse, and the leg opposite the

60^\circ

angle is

\sqrt{3}

times the shorter leg. Here, hypotenuse

PQ = 24

, so

QS = 12

and

PS = 12\sqrt{3}

.

3

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to

\triangle PRS

to find

SR

.

SR = 33

.

In right triangle

\triangle PRS

, the hypotenuse is

PR = 39

. By the Pythagorean Theorem,

PS^2 + SR^2 = PR^2

. Squaring the sides gives

(12\sqrt{3})^2 + SR^2 = 39^2 \implies 432 + SR^2 = 1521

. Solving for

SR

gives

SR^2 = 1089 \implies SR = 33

.

4

Sum the segments

QS

and

SR

to find the total length of

QR

.

QR = 45

.

Because

\triangle PQR

is an acute triangle, the altitude

PS

lands at a point

S

on the segment

QR

, meaning

QR = QS + SR

. Adding the lengths gives

12 + 33 = 45

The correct answer is 7.

To find the points of intersection between the circle and the line, we substitute the line's equation

y = x

into the circle's equation

x^2 + y^2 - 10x - 4y = 0

. This substitution yields

2x^2 - 14x = 0

. Factoring out

2x

gives

2x(x - 7) = 0

, which has solutions

x = 0

and

x = 7

. The solution

x = 0

corresponds to the origin

(0, 0)

. Therefore, the

x

-coordinate of the second point

P

is

7

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Substitute

y = x

into the equation of the circle.

x^2 + x^2 - 10x - 4x = 0

Since the line is

y = x

, any point of intersection must satisfy both equations.

2

Combine like terms to simplify the quadratic equation.

2x^2 - 14x = 0

Grouping the quadratic and linear terms yields a single equation in terms of

x

.

3

Factor the quadratic equation.

2x(x - 7) = 0

Factoring allows us to identify the individual roots of the equation.

4

Solve for

x

and identify the value for point

P

x = 7

The solution

x = 0

corresponds to the origin. Thus, the

The correct answer is 3.

The correct answer is 3. Finding the slope of the first line gives 0.5. The negative reciprocal of 0.5 is -2, which is the slope of the perpendicular line. Setting up the slope equation between the point (2, -1) and the y-intercept (0, 3) confirms the y-coordinate is indeed 3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the slope of Line A.

The slope of Line A is 0.5.

Using the slope formula

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

for points

(-3, 4)

and

(5, 8)

gives

m_A = \frac{8 - 4}{5 - (-3)} = \frac{4}{8} = 0.5

.

2

Find the slope of Line B.

The slope of Line B is -2.

Because Line B is perpendicular to Line A, its slope must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of Line A:

m_B = -\frac{1}{0.5} = -2

.

3

Determine the y-intercept of Line B.

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept is 3.

Line B passes through

(2, -1)

and

(0, b)

. Using the slope formula:

\frac{b - (-1)}{0 - 2} = -2 \implies \frac{b + 1}{-2} = -2 \implies b + 1 = 4 \implies b = 3

gives

y - (-1) = -2(x - 2)

In $\triangle ABC$ , point $D$ lies on side $BC$ such that $AD = BD$ . If the measure of $\angle ADC$ is $112^\circ$ and the measure of $\angle BAC$ is $85^\circ$ , what is the measure of $\angle C$ , in degrees?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 39

Cevap

The measure of

\angle C

is

39^\circ

.

The measure of

\angle C

is found by first calculating the interior angle

\angle ADB = 180^\circ - 112^\circ = 68^\circ

since

BDC

forms a straight line. Because

AD = BD

,

\triangle ABD

is isosceles with

\angle B = \angle BAD

. Using the angle sum of

\triangle ABD

, we have

2(\angle B) + 68^\circ = 180^\circ

, which yields

\angle B = 56^\circ

. Finally, using the angle sum of

\triangle ABC

, we calculate

\angle C = 180^\circ - (85^\circ + 56^\circ) = 39^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the measure of

\angle ADB

using the linear pair relationship with

\angle ADC

.

\angle ADB = 68^\circ

Angles on a straight line add up to

180^\circ

. Since

D

lies on

BC

,

\angle ADB + \angle ADC = 180^\circ

.

2

Calculate the measure of

\angle B

using the properties of the isosceles triangle

ABD

.

\angle B = 56^\circ

Since

AD = BD

, the base angles opposite to these sides are equal:

\angle BAD = \angle B

. The sum of angles in

\triangle ABD

is

180^\circ

, so

2(\angle B) + 68^\circ = 180^\circ

.

3

Find the measure of

\angle C

using the triangle angle sum theorem on the large triangle

ABC

.

\angle C = 39^\circ

The sum of the angles in

\triangle ABC

is

180^\circ

\angle BAC + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ

Instead of finding

first and then solving for

, we can find the angle

\angle DAC

first. Since

\angle ADC = 112^\circ

is an exterior angle to

\triangle ABD

, we have

\angle ADC = \angle B + \angle BAD

. Since

\angle B = \angle BAD

, we get

2(\angle BAD) = 112^\circ \implies \angle BAD = 56^\circ

. Because

\angle BAC = 85^\circ

, we have

\angle DAC = 85^\circ - 56^\circ = 29^\circ

. Now looking at

\triangle ADC

, we can solve for

\angle C

directly:

\angle C = 180^\circ - (112^\circ + 29^\circ) = 39^\circ
