Hi! Hope you're having a good day. So, there's a problem I had gotten wrong while I was preparing for the ACT, however, I didn't know how to answer the question to begin with. Can someone give me a step-by-step explanation on how this problem is solved correctly? (Picture included). Inside of the picture I included the answer I chose and the correct answer, could you also explain what I had done wrong? I used the FOIL method, but now I think that was incorrect to begin with. I also reattempted to do what I had done before, but each time I get a different answer, if you can help that'd be fantastic! :)

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]3a^2+12a+12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to plug in x = a+2 into the function, which would look like:

[tex]f(a+2) =3(a+2)^2[/tex]

then, you can first simplify [tex](a+2)^2[/tex]. to do this, use the rule [tex](a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2[/tex], so it would be [tex]a^2+(2*a*2)+2^2 = a^2 + 4a + 4[/tex]

this means your new equation is:

[tex]3(a^2+4a+4)[/tex]

you can then distribute the 3:

[tex]3*a^2+3*4a + 3*4 = 3a^2+12a+12[/tex]

let me know if there's anything you want me to clarify!

Work out the size of angle BCD.

Answers

Construct OD and BD. Then, in quadrilateral ABOD, angles ODA and OBA are right angles and thus angle DOB is 130 degrees (since angles in a quadrilateral add to 360 degrees).

So, this means arc DB also measures 130 degrees. Hence, by the inscribed angle theorem, angle BCD is 65 degrees.

What is the missing reason in the proof? (Reason 9)

Answers

Answer:

transitive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally proofs flow naturally from one step to the next.  Consequently, each step usually follows from the previous step, and the Reason given justifies why that change is valid.

From statement 8, note that [tex]90^{o}=m\angle{ABD}[/tex]

For statement 9, the proof asserts that [tex]m\angle{ABC}=m\angle{ABD}[/tex]

What changed between line 8 and 9?  The left side of the equation lost it's 90 degrees, and it became the measure of angle ABC.

So, what justifies changing the 90degrees into a measure of an angle (specifically, the measure of angle ABC)?

Recall from statement 3, that [tex]m\angle{ABC}=90^{o}[/tex].

The "substitution property" would be a valid reason for step 9, (but of the given options, that isn't one, so we must look for another valid reason).


Recall that the transitive property states:

[tex]\text{If }a=b\text{ and }b=c, \text{then }a=c[/tex]

There are three parts,

1. the first part needs a=b

2. the second part needs b=c

3. the third part produces a=c

Notice that in the second part, b=c, and then for the third part, on the left side, the "b" disappears, and the "a" sort of appears out of nowhere.

Statement 8 is like the second part, and statement 9 is like the third part.

Replacing "a" with [tex]m\angle{ABC}[/tex], replacing "b" with [tex]90^{o}[/tex], and replacing "c" with [tex]m\angle{ABD}[/tex], we can update the transitive property and see how it applies to our situation:

Original transitive property:  [tex]\text{If }a=b\text{ and }b=c, \text{then }a=c[/tex]

Updated transitive property:  [tex]\text{If }m\angle{ABC}=90^{o}\text{ and }90^{o}=m\angle{ABD}, \text{then }m\angle{ABC}=m\angle{ABD}[/tex]

In order to use the transitive property, we need the first part and the second part to be true, and then it will be a valid reason for the last part to be true.  The first part was already proven back in statement 3, the second part was just proven in statement 8, so the conclusion (the third part) is valid and can be statement 9, because of the transitive property.

A passenger jet plane cruises at 550 knots. It enters a jet stream with
a tailwind speed of 120 knots. If the speed of sound is 661 knots,
will the jet travel faster or slower than sound during its journey?

Answers

Considering the direction of the wind, it is found that the jet travels faster than the sound during it's journey.

What is the ground speed?

The jet's speed, considering that there is a tailwind, is given by:

J = Plane speed + Wind speed.

In this problem, we have that the speeds are given as follows:

Plane: 550 knots.Wind: 120 knots.

Hence the jet's speed is given by:

J = 550 + 120 = 670 knots.

670 knots > 661 knots, hence the jet travels faster than the sound during it's journey.

Image shows a circle with angle A B C inscribed in a circle. Angle B measures 4 x minus 5.5 degrees. Arc A C measures 3 x plus 9 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

In the circle, the measure of the arc AC is 21°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: We can use the Inscribed Angle theorem to get the measure of AC.

Given that the inscribed angle ∠ABC is 3x-1.5 and the Intercepted arc AC is 3x+9.

Inscribed Angle Theorem states that the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

So,

3x - 1.5 = 0.5(3x + 9)

6x - 3 = 3x + 9

3x = 12

x = 4

Since the intercepted arc AC is 3x + 9, putting the value of x = 4 we get,

intercepted arc AC is 21°.

Hence the intercepted arc AC is 21°.

How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?

If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.

Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,

Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n

Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°

Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°

Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°

To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°

Answer:

x = -1; x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Form of a Quadratic Function: f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a ≠ 0

Given function: f(x) = x² - 4x - 5

⇒ a = 1, b = -4, c = -5

We are asked to solve the following function by factoring. In order to do so, let's rewrite the middle term by finding the factors that give a product of the first and last terms (a • c = -5) and give us the sum of the middle term (b = -4).

Factors that give a product of a • c: 1 • -5 = -5

Factors that give a sum of b: 1 + (-5) = -4

Step 1: Substitute f(x) = 0.

⇒ 0 = x² - 4x - 5

Step 2: Rewrite the equation with the factors.

⇒ 0 = x² + x - 5x - 5

Step 3: Factor out x and -5.

⇒ 0 = (x² + x) + (-5x - 5)

⇒ 0 x(x + 1) - 5(x + 1) [ Factor out the common factor. ]

⇒ 0 = (x - 5)(x + 1)

Step 4: Apply the Zero-Product Property (if m•n = 0, then m = 0 or n = 0)

a) 0 = x - 5 ⇒ 0 + 5 = x - 5 + 5 ⇒ 5 = x

b) 0 = x + 1 ⇒ 0 - 1 = x + 1 - 1 ⇒ -1 = x

Therefore, the missing solution for this quadratic function is x = 5.
