The path of a particle in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane is described by the linear equation $3x - y = 2$ , and the path of another particle is described by the quadratic equation $y = x^2 - x - 7$ . If the two paths intersect at two locations, what is the sum of the $y$ -coordinates of these intersection points?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The sum of the

y

-coordinates of the intersection points is 8.

The correct answer is 8. Solving the system by setting

x^2 - x - 7 = 3x - 2

results in the quadratic equation

x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0

. Factoring gives

(x-5)(x+1) = 0

, which yields intersection

x

-coordinates of

x = 5

and

x = -1

. Substituting these back into the linear equation gives

y

-coordinates of

13

and

-5

. Adding these values together yields

13 + (-5) = 8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the linear equation in terms of

y

.

y = 3x - 2

This allows for direct substitution into the quadratic equation.

2

Equate the linear and quadratic expressions to solve for the

x

-coordinates of the intersection points.

x^2 - x - 7 = 3x - 2

Intersection points share the same coordinates for both equations.

3

Set the quadratic equation to zero.

x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0

This puts the equation in standard form so it can be solved by factoring.

4

Factor the quadratic equation.

(x - 5)(x + 1) = 0

, so

x = 5

or

x = -1

Factoring determines the

x

-coordinates of the intersection points.

5

Substitute the

x

-values into the linear equation to determine the

y

-coordinates.

For

x = 5

,

y = 13

. For

x = -1

,

y = -5

.

Finding the

y

-coordinates is necessary to compute their sum.

6

Add the

y

-coordinates together.

13 + (-5) = 8

The question asks for the sum of the

y

-coordinates of the intersection points.

We can use Vieta's formulas to find the sum of the

y

-coordinates without calculating each individual coordinate. The sum of the

y

-coordinates is

y_1 + y_2 = (3x_1 - 2) + (3x_2 - 2) = 3(x_1 + x_2) - 4

. Since

x_1

and

x_2

are the roots of

x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0

, Vieta's formulas state that the sum of the roots is

x_1 + x_2 = -\frac{-4}{1} = 4

. Substituting this value into our sum expression yields

3(4) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8

.

A rectangular park $ABCD$ has a length of $20$ meters and a width of $15$ meters. A straight walking path is built from corner $A$ to a point $P$ on the diagonal path $BD$ such that the path $AP$ is perpendicular to $BD$ . What is the length, in meters, of the path $AP$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 12

Cevap

The length of the path

AP

is

12

meters.

The diagonal

BD

divides the rectangular park into two congruent right triangles. For right triangle

ABD

, the legs are

AB = 20

and

AD = 15

. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse

BD = \sqrt{20^2 + 15^2} = 25

meters. The area of triangle

ABD

is

\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 15 = 150

square meters. Since

AP

is perpendicular to

BD

,

AP

is the altitude to base

BD

, so the area can also be written as

\frac{1}{2} \times 25 \times AP

. Equating the two areas,

12.5 \times AP = 150

, which simplifies to

AP = 12

meters.

1

Calculate the length of the diagonal

BD

using the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle

ABD

.

BD = \sqrt{20^2 + 15^2} = 25

meters.

The diagonal forms the hypotenuse of the right triangle

ABD

, which is needed to calculate the altitude

AP

.

2

Express the area of right triangle

ABD

using the two perpendicular legs,

AB

and

AD

.

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 15 = 150

square meters.

This establishes the total area of the triangle.

3

Express the area of the same triangle using the diagonal

BD

as the base and the perpendicular path

AP

as the height.

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 25 \times AP

.

This sets up an equation using the unknown path length

AP

.

4

Equate the two area expressions and solve for

AP

.

12.5 \times AP = 150 \implies AP = 12

meters.

Since both expressions represent the area of the same triangle, they must be equal.

A warehouse is cooling a refrigerated storage room. The initial temperature of the room is $22^\circ\text{C}$ . A cooling system lowers the temperature by $1.8^\circ\text{C}$ per hour. To store a specific vaccine, the temperature of the room must be kept strictly below $-5^\circ\text{C}$ . What is the minimum number of whole hours the cooling system must run to reach a safe storage temperature?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 16

Cevap

The minimum number of whole hours the cooling system must run is 16.

To find the minimum number of whole hours, we set up the inequality

22 - 1.8h < -5

. Subtracting 22 from both sides yields

-1.8h < -27

. Dividing by the negative rate

-1.8

requires reversing the inequality sign, which gives

h > 15

. The smallest integer greater than 15 is 16.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the inequality representing the temperature condition.

22 - 1.8h < -5

The initial temperature is

22^\circ\text{C}

, and it decreases by

1.8^\circ\text{C}

per hour

h

. The temperature must be strictly below

-5^\circ\text{C}

.

2

Isolate the variable term by subtracting 22 from both sides.

-1.8h < -27

Subtracting 22 simplifies the left side and groups the constant terms on the right side.

3

Divide both sides by -1.8 and reverse the inequality sign.

h > 15

Dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number reverses the direction of the inequality sign.

4

Determine the smallest integer value for h that satisfies the inequality.

Set up an algebraic equation by summing all the given angle expressions and equating them to 720.

2x + (3x - 15) + (2x + 25) + (3x + 10) + (4x - 50) + (x + 30) = 720

The sum of the actual measures of the interior angles must equal the calculated sum of 720 degrees.

Combine like terms to simplify the equation.

15x = 720

Grouping the

-15 + 25 + 10 - 50 + 30 = 0

) simplifies the expression.

x = 48

Dividing both sides of the equation

15x = 720

Cevap

The distance between the campsite and the tower is 4 miles.

The correct answer is 4 miles. By modeling the hiker's path, the vertical height of both the campsite and the tower is 12 miles north of the starting point's east-west line. A right triangle is formed by the trailhead, the projection of the tower onto the east-west axis, and the tower itself. The hypotenuse is 13 miles and the vertical leg is 12 miles. By the Pythagorean theorem, the horizontal leg is 5 miles. Since the tower is east of the trailhead's north-south line, it is 5 miles east of the trailhead. The campsite is 9 miles east of the trailhead. The horizontal distance between the campsite and the tower is the difference: 9 - 5 = 4 miles.

A kite has vertices $K(2, 8)$ , $I(6, 3)$ , $T(2, -4)$ , and $E(-2, 3)$ in the standard $(x, y)$ coordinate plane. What is the area of kite $KITE$ , in square units?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 48

Cevap

The area of kite

KITE

is 48 square units.

The area of kite

KITE

is 48 because the horizontal diagonal

IE

has a length of 8 units, the vertical diagonal

KT

has a length of 12 units, and the area of a kite is calculated as half the product of its diagonal lengths:

\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 12 = 48

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the lengths of the vertical diagonal

KT

and the horizontal diagonal

IE

.

The length of

KT

is 12 and the length of

IE

is 8.

The vertices

K(2, 8)

and

T(2, -4)

share the same

x

-coordinate, so the diagonal is vertical with length

8 - (-4) = 12

. The vertices

I(6, 3)

and

E(-2, 3)

share the same

y

-coordinate, so the diagonal is horizontal with length

6 - (-2) = 8

.

2

Apply the area formula for a kite:

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} d_1 d_2

.

Area = 48

Since the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular, the area is half the product of the lengths of the diagonals:

\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 8 = 48

.

For an angle $\theta$ such that $\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}$ , the value of $\cos\theta = -0.8$ . What is the value of $10\sin\theta$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: -6

Cevap

The value of

10\sin\theta

is

-6

.

The correct answer is

-6

. Substituting

\cos\theta = -0.8

into the fundamental Pythagorean identity

\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1

yields

\sin^2\theta + 0.64 = 1

, which simplifies to

\sin^2\theta = 0.36

. Since the angle

\theta

lies in the interval

\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}

(Quadrant III), its sine value must be negative. Thus,

\sin\theta = -0.6

. Multiplying this value by 10 gives

10\sin\theta = -6

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Use the Pythagorean identity

\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1

with the given cosine value

\cos\theta = -0.8

.

\sin^2\theta + (-0.8)^2 = 1 \Rightarrow \sin^2\theta + 0.64 = 1 \Rightarrow \sin^2\theta = 0.36

The Pythagorean identity relates the sine and cosine values of any angle.

2

Take the square root of both sides, selecting the correct sign based on the quadrant constraint

\pi < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{2}

.

Since the angle lies in Quadrant III, the sine function must be negative. Thus,

\sin\theta = -\sqrt{0.36} = -0.6

.

In the third quadrant, y-coordinates on the unit circle are negative, meaning

\sin\theta

must be negative.

Multiply

\sin\theta

by 10 to get the final requested value.

10\sin\theta = 10 \times (-0.6) = -6

The value of

12\tan\theta

is -5.

Applying the Pythagorean identity

\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1

with

\sin\theta = \frac{5}{13}

yields

\cos^2\theta = \frac{144}{169}

. Since the angle

\theta

lies in the second quadrant, its cosine is negative, meaning

\cos\theta = -\frac{12}{13}

. Using the quotient identity

\tan\theta = \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}

, we find

\tan\theta = -\frac{5}{12}

. Multiplying by 12 gives the correct value of -5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Use the Pythagorean identity to find the magnitude of

\cos\theta

.

\cos^2\theta = \frac{144}{169}

The Pythagorean identity states that

\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1

. Substituting

\sin\theta = \frac{5}{13}

gives

\cos^2\theta = 1 - \left(\frac{5}{13}\right)^2

.

Determine the value of

\cos\theta

by applying the quadrant sign rule.

\cos\theta = -\frac{12}{13}

Since

\theta

is in the second quadrant, the cosine of

\theta

must be negative.

A convex polygon has $n$ sides. The sum of the measures of $n-1$ of its interior angles is $2030^\circ$ . What is the measure, in degrees, of the remaining interior angle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 130

Cevap

The measure of the remaining interior angle is 130 degrees.

The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon must be a multiple of

180^\circ

. The multiple of

180^\circ

immediately greater than

2030^\circ

is

2160^\circ

(which is

12 \times 180^\circ

). The difference between the total sum and the sum of the

n-1

angles is

2160^\circ - 2030^\circ = 130^\circ

. Since

130^\circ

is less than

180^\circ

, this is a valid interior angle for a convex polygon.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the formula for the total sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon.

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with

n

sides is

(n-2) \times 180^\circ

.

This formula relates the number of sides to the total sum of the interior angles.

2

Apply the properties of convex polygons to set up an inequality for the total sum.

Since the remaining interior angle must be greater than

0^\circ

and less than

180^\circ

, the total sum of all

n

angles must satisfy

2030^\circ < (n-2) \times 180^\circ < 2030^\circ + 180^\circ

, which simplifies to

2030^\circ < (n-2) \times 180^\circ < 2210^\circ

.

By definition, every interior angle of a convex polygon is strictly less than

180^\circ

.

3

Solve the inequality to find the integer value of

n-2

.

Dividing the entire inequality by

180^\circ

gives

11.28 < n-2 < 12.28

. Since the number of sides

n

must be an integer,

n-2

must be the integer

12

.

A polygon must have a whole number of sides.

4

Calculate the total sum of all interior angles and find the remaining angle.

The total sum is

12 \times 180^\circ = 2160^\circ

. Subtracting the sum of the other

n-1

angles gives the remaining angle:

2160^\circ - 2030^\circ = 130^\circ

.

The difference between the total sum of all interior angles and the sum of the

n-1

angles is the measure of the final angle.

1.75

To find a coterminal angle in the interval

[0, 2\pi)

for

-\frac{17\pi}{4}

, we add multiples of

2\pi

. Since

-\frac{17\pi}{4} = -4.25\pi

, we add

6\pi

(three full rotations) to get

-4.25\pi + 6\pi = 1.75\pi

. The multiple of

\pi

is therefore 1.75.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the coefficient of the given angle from a fraction to a decimal.

-\frac{17}{4} = -4.25

Converting the fraction to a decimal makes it easier to work with the addition of full rotations.

2

Add multiples of

2\pi

(which corresponds to adding 2 to the coefficient of

\pi

) to find a coterminal angle in the interval

[0, 2\pi)

-4.25 + 2 = -2.25

;

-2.25 + 2 = -0.25

;

-0.25 + 2 = 1.75

Adding

2\pi

representing full counterclockwise rotations on the unit circle results in a coterminal angle. We repeat this process until the coefficient lies in the interval

[0, 2)

.

3

Identify the coefficient of

\pi

for the coterminal angle.

The value of

The slope of segment

PQ

\frac{2}{3}

. The slope of line

L

through

\frac{y - (-2)}{9 - 3} = \frac{y + 2}{6}

. Equating the two slopes yields

\frac{y + 2}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

, which simplifies to

y + 2 = 4

, so

y = 2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate the slope of segment

PQ

.

Slope of

PQ = \frac{2}{3}

Since parallel lines have equal slopes, finding the slope of the reference segment

PQ

is the first step in determining the slope of line

L

.

2

Set up the slope equation for line

L

using its parallel relationship to segment

PQ

.

\frac{y - (-2)}{9 - 3} = \frac{2}{3}

Because line

L

is parallel to segment

PQ

, its slope must also be

\frac{2}{3}

. The slope of line

L

is calculated using the points

(3, -2)

and

(9, y)

Solve the equation for

y

.

y = 2

Simplifying the numerator gives

y + 2

and the denominator gives

6

yields

y + 2 = 4

A vertical flagpole is secured by two straight guide wires anchored to the flat ground on opposite sides of the pole. The first guide wire is $13$ feet long and its anchor is $5$ feet from the base of the pole. The second guide wire is anchored such that it makes a $30^\circ$ angle of elevation with the ground. If both guide wires are attached to the flagpole at the same height, what is the length, in feet, of the second guide wire?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 24

Cevap

The length of the second guide wire is

24

feet.

The correct answer is

24

. First, the height of the attachment point is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

h = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = 12

feet. Since the second wire makes a

30^\circ

angle of elevation with the ground, it forms a 30-60-90 right triangle where the flagpole height of

12

feet is the leg opposite the

30^\circ

angle. The length of the wire is the hypotenuse of this triangle, which is twice the length of the opposite leg:

2 \times 12 = 24

feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole where the guide wires are attached.

The flagpole height is

12

feet.

The first guide wire, the flagpole, and the ground form a right triangle with a hypotenuse of

13

feet and a horizontal leg of

5

feet. Thus,

h = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{169 - 25} = 12

.

2

Apply the properties of a 30-60-90 special right triangle to find the length of the second guide wire.

The length of the second guide wire is

24

feet.

The second wire forms a 30-60-90 right triangle with the flagpole and the ground. The angle of elevation is

30^\circ

, which means the side opposite this angle is the vertical height of the flagpole (

12

feet). In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse (the wire length) is twice the length of the shorter leg (opposite the

30^\circ

angle), so the length is

2 \times 12 = 24

.

A projectile is launched vertically upward from an initial height of $5$ meters. Its height, $h(t)$ in meters, $t$ seconds after launch is given by the function $h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 19.6t + 5$ . To the nearest tenth of a second, how many seconds after launch does the projectile reach a height of $15$ meters on its way down?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3.4

Cevap

To the nearest tenth of a second, the projectile reaches a height of

15

meters on its way down at

3.4

seconds.

The correct answer is

3.4

seconds. Setting the height equation

h(t) = 15

yields

-4.9t^2 + 19.6t - 10 = 0

. Solving this quadratic equation via the quadratic formula gives two solutions:

t \approx 0.6

seconds and

t \approx 3.4

seconds. The projectile travels upward first, passing the

15

-meter mark at

0.6

seconds, and then descends, passing the

15

-meter mark again at

3.4

seconds.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the quadratic equation by setting the height function

h(t)

equal to

15

.

-4.9t^2 + 19.6t + 5 = 15

This allows us to find the specific values of time

t

when the height of the projectile is exactly

15

meters.

2

Rearrange the quadratic equation into the standard form

at^2 + bt + c = 0

by subtracting

15

from both sides.

-4.9t^2 + 19.6t - 10 = 0

Writing the equation in standard form is necessary before applying the quadratic formula.

3

Substitute the coefficients

a = -4.9

,

b = 19.6

, and

c = -10

into the quadratic formula.

t = \frac{-19.6 \pm \sqrt{(19.6)^2 - 4(-4.9)(-10)}}{2(-4.9)}

Since the quadratic equation has non-integer decimal coefficients, using the quadratic formula is the most reliable method to solve for the roots.

4

Simplify the discriminant and calculate the two values of

t

.

t \approx 0.6

and

t \approx 3.4

The discriminant is

19.6^2 - 196 = 188.16

. Taking the square root gives

\sqrt{188.16} \approx 13.72

, resulting in two real roots.

5

Determine which root corresponds to the projectile's motion on the way down.

t \approx 3.4

seconds

The smaller root (

0.6

seconds) represents the first time the projectile reaches

15

meters while ascending. The larger root (

3.4

seconds) represents the time the projectile passes

15

meters while descending.
