find the value of n so that the expression is a perfect square trinomial and then factor the trinomial. x^2+10x+n
From the problem, we have :
[tex]x^2+10x+n[/tex]To make it a perfect square trinomial, we will use the formula :
[tex]n=(\frac{b}{2a})^2[/tex]and we can factor the trinomial as :
[tex](x+\frac{b}{2a})^2^{}[/tex]a = 1 and b = 10
so n will be :
[tex](\frac{b}{2a})^2=(\frac{10}{2\times1})^2=5^2=25[/tex]The value of n is n = 25
and the factor of the trinomial will be (x + 5)^2
Answer: the answer is (x + 5)^2

If △STU is similar to △XYZ, the sides of △STU must be congruent to thecorresponding sides of △XYZ.A. TrueB. False
Similar triangles are triangles that have the same interior angles and the corresponding sides are proportional, that is, for triangles STU and XYZ we have the proportion:
[tex]\frac{ST}{XY}=\frac{TU}{YZ}=\frac{SU}{XZ}[/tex]The corresponding sides are congruent only if the proportion rate is 1, but that is not always true and it's not necessary.
Therefore the correct option is B: False
If the corresponding sides are congruent, the triangles are congruent.

From the given figure, we can see a transversal forming between the pairs of parallel lines.
Let us focus on the lines n, a, and e. Here, we can see a pair of parallel lines a and e, cut by a transversal n.
We are given a measurement for angle 4, which is 97. Then we are asked to find the sum of angle 2 and angle 4.
One theorem with respect to transversals that we must be familiar with is the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem which states that:
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent.
With this, we can see from the figure that angle 2 and angle 4 are actually alternate interior angles.
Since they are alternate interior angles, and they are congruent, this would mean that angle 2 also measures 97.
[tex]m\angle4=97;m\angle2=97[/tex]With this, we can now add the two measurements, and that would give us:
[tex]97+97=194[/tex]The sum of angle 2 and angle 4 is 194 degrees.

8. Mel's mean on 10 tests for the semester was 89. She complained to the teacher that she should be given an A because she missed the cutoff of 90 by only a single point. Explain whether it is clear that she really missed an A by only a single point if each test was based on 100 points. Explain how many points she actually missed.
Answer
Check Explanation
Explanation
The mean of a group of numbers is the average of these numbers.
Mathematically, the mean is the sum of variables divided by the number of variables.
Mean = (Σx)/N
x = each variable
Σx = Sum of the variables
N = number of variables
So, when Mel's mean is 89 for 10 tests, this means
Mean = 89
N = Number of variables = 10
So, we can calculate the sum of all of Mel's scores
Mean = (Σx)/N
Cross multiply,
Σx = N [Mean]
Σx = 10 (89) = 890
For Mel to have an average score of 90 from 10 tests,
Mean = 90
N = Number of variables = 10
So, we can calculate the sum of all of Mel's scores
Mean = (Σx)/N
Cross multiply,
Σx = N [Mean]
Σx = 10 (90) = 900
So, we can see that Mel does not actually need 1 point to score an A (90), Mel needs 10 extra points gathered from the 10 tests, to get the extra average 1 point.
Hope this Helps!!!

The given problem can be exemplified in the following diagram:
The conditions are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\angle ABD=6x+5 \\ m\angle ABC=10x+7 \\ m\angle DBC=36 \end{gathered}[/tex]We also have the following relationship:
[tex]m\angle ABD+m\angle DBC=m\angle ABC[/tex]Substituting the values we get:
[tex]6x+5+36=10x+7[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]6x+41=10x+7[/tex]Now we solve for "x", first by subtracting 10x on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x-10x+41=10x-10x+7 \\ -4x+41=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we subtract 41 on both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -4x+41-41=7-41 \\ -4x=-34 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we divide both sides by -4
[tex]x=-\frac{34}{-4}=\frac{17}{2}[/tex]Now we replace the value of "x" in the expression for angle ABD:
[tex]\angle ABD=6x+5[/tex]Replacing the value of "x":
[tex]\angle ABD=6(\frac{17}{2})+5[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]\angle ABD=3(17)+5=56[/tex]Therefore angle ABD is 56 degrees.

We are given the following function:
[tex]y=\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5}[/tex]We are asked to differentiate with respect to "x". To do that we need to have into account that the function is rational and therefore, we need to use the quotient rule for derivatives, which is the following:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)})=\frac{f^{\prime}(x)g(x)-f(x)g^{\prime}(x)}{g^2(x)}[/tex]Therefore, we need to determine the derivatives of f(x) and g(x). In this case, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=1-10x \\ g(x)=(2x-1)^5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we determine the derivative of f(x):
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(1-10x)[/tex]First, we distribute the derivative:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(1)-\frac{d}{dx}(10x)[/tex]The first, derivative is the derivative of a constant and therefore is zero:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=-\frac{d}{dx}(10x)[/tex]For the second derivative we use the following rule:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(ax)=a[/tex]Applying the rule we get:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))=-10[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]f^{\prime}(x)=-10[/tex]Now, we determine the derivative of g(x):
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(2x-1)^5[/tex]Now, we determine the derivative using the following rule:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))^n=n(g(x))^{n-1}(g^{\prime}(x))[/tex]Applying the rule we get:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))=5(2x-1)^4(2)[/tex]Simplifying:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(g(x))=10(2x-1)^4[/tex]Therefore, we have:
[tex]g^{\prime}(x)=10(2x-1)^4[/tex]Now, we substitute the function in the quotient rule:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{(-10)(2x-1)^5-(1-10x)(10)(2x-1)^4}{((2x-1)^5)^2}[/tex]Now we simplify the denominator:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{(-10)(2x-1)^5-(1-10x)(10)(2x-1)^4}{(2x-1)^{10}}[/tex]Now, we take (2x - 1)^4 as a common factor on the numerator:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{(2x-1)^4((-10)(2x-1)^{}-(1-10x)(10))}{(2x-1)^{10}}[/tex]Now, we simplify the function:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{((-10)(2x-1)^{}-(1-10x)(10))}{(2x-1)^6}[/tex]Now, we apply the distributive property on the numerator:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{-20x+10^{}-10+100x}{(2x-1)^6}[/tex]Now, we cancel out the 10 and add like terms:
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1-10x}{(2x-1)^5})=\frac{80x}{(2x-1)^6}[/tex]Since we can't simplify any further this is the final answer.
How many solutions exist for the equation cos 2θ − sin θ = 0 on the interval [0, 360°)?
We are given the following equation
[tex]\cos 2\theta-\sin \theta=0[/tex]Let us solve the above trigonometric equation.
Using the double angle identity,
[tex]\cos 2\theta=1-2\sin ^2\theta[/tex]So, the equation becomes
[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos 2\theta-\sin \theta=0 \\ 1-2\sin ^2\theta-\sin \theta=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, let us solve the equation by substitution
Let sinθ = u
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1-2\sin ^2\theta-\sin \theta=0 \\ 1-2u^2-u=0 \\ -2u^2-u+1=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Let us solve the above equation using the quadratic formula
[tex]u=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]The coefficients are
a = -2
b = -1
c = 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} u=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt[]{(-1)^2-4(-2)(1)}}{2(-2)} \\ u=\frac{1\pm\sqrt[]{1+8}}{-4} \\ u=\frac{1\pm\sqrt[]{9}}{-4} \\ u=\frac{1\pm3}{-4} \\ u=\frac{1-3}{-4},\; \; u=\frac{1+3}{-4} \\ u=\frac{-2}{-4},\; \; u=\frac{4}{-4} \\ u=\frac{1}{2},\; \; u=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the two possible values are u = 1/2 and u = -1
Substitute them back into sinθ = u
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin \theta=\frac{1}{2},\; \; \sin \theta=-1 \\ \theta=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}),\; \; \theta=\sin ^{-1}(-1) \\ \theta=\frac{\pi}{6}\; and\; \frac{5\pi}{6},\; \; \theta=\frac{3\pi}{2}\; \\ \theta=30\degree\; and\; \; 150\degree,\; \; \theta=270\degree \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the two solutions of the given equation are θ = 30°, θ = 150°, θ = 270° on the interval [0, 360°)

Determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the system.
y = 6
2x - 5y = 24
Is (2,-4) a solution of the system?
Answer:
[tex](2, -4)[/tex] is not a solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ordered pair [tex](2, -4)[/tex] cannot be a solution of the system since, given the first equation of [tex]y=6[/tex], the only possible value for [tex]y[/tex] is 6. In other words, the only possible value that makes [tex]y=6[/tex] true is 6.
Therefore, to figure [tex]x[/tex], we substitute 6 for [tex]y[/tex] in the second equation and solve:
[tex]2x-5y=24[/tex]
[tex]2x-5(6)=24[/tex]
[tex]2x-30=24[/tex]
[tex]2x=54[/tex]
[tex]x=27[/tex]
The ordered pair, then, that solves the system is [tex](27,6)[/tex].

You are interested in purchasing a $144,000 home. You plan to make a 25% downpayment and obtain an 8% mortgage for 20 years for the remaining amountthrough City Savings and Loan. Complete the form below to determine the totalclosing cost.
Cost of the house = $144,000
25% down payment = 25 / 100 * $144,000 = $36,000
Amount of mortgage = $144,000 - $36,000 = $108,000.
The closing costs are detailed in the form, and two rows need to be filled in and get the total closing costs row.
The first missing row is the Loan origination fee that corresponds to 2% of the mortgage:
2% of $108,000 = 2 / 100 * $108,000 = $2,160
The last row corresponds to 3/16 of the total interest on the mortgage.
Calculate the final value of the mortgage:
[tex]\begin{gathered} FV=\$108,000\cdot(1+0.08)^{20} \\ FV=\$503,383.37 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total interest is:

Working with inequalities, when you draw them in a number line or a coordinate system. The Open circle, or "blank dot" indicates that the number itself is not included in the definition, while the closed circle or "blak dot" indicates the value is included.
For example:
The inequality marked in the number line can be expressed symbolically as:
[tex]x<2[/tex]So the first statement is True.
2)
When an inequality includes a variable (letter) this one can be writen in terms of said variable following almost the same rules as when you calculate the value of a variable in an equation.
The greatest exception is that when you divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes.
So for the given inequality:
[tex]-10w>100[/tex]To determine one possible value of w you have to divide both sides of the expression by "-10" and when you do so, the direction of the inequality gets inverted from > to <
[tex]\begin{gathered} -10w>100 \\ w<\frac{100}{-10} \\ w<-10 \end{gathered}[/tex]So this statement is False.
3)
This statement is True, when the variable is "alone" the coefficient is 1. Since multiplying a number by one results in said number it is redundant to write it, but altough "invisible" one is the coefficient of any variable that is "alone" in any given expression.
4)
"At most" indicates that it is the maximum value possible for the determined inequality. So the inequality can be equal or less than the determined value.
For example, "The cell phone repair will cost at most $100" → You know that you will pay no more than $100 dollars for the repair, it can be less but not more.
Let "x" symbolize the repair cost, you can express this as:
[tex]x\leq100[/tex]So this statement is True
5)
"Minimum" indicates that is the lowest value of the inequality, it is the startpoint, from the determined value onwards.

The equation of the line that passes through points (9, 5) and (21,-5) isy = (-5/6)x - 25/2.
How does the slope intercept form made?The slope-intercept form of an a line is a method of writing the equation of a line so that the slope as well as y-intercept are easily identifiable.The the line's slope represents its steepness, and also the y-intercept is the point at which the line intersects a y-axis.For the given question;
The line passes through points are-
(x1, y1) =(9, 5) and
(x2, y2) = (21,-5)
Slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-5 - 5)/(21 - 9)
m = -10/12
m = -5/6
Equation of the line is found using slope intercept form.
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 5 = (-5/6)(x - 9)
y = (-5/6)x - 25/2
Thus, the equation of the line that passes through points (9, 5) and (21,-5) isy = (-5/6)x - 25/2.

Answer:
4√2
Explanation:
To write √32 in its simplest radical form:
Express it as a product of two factors where one is a perfect square.
[tex]\sqrt[]{32}=\sqrt[]{16\times2}[/tex]Next, we can separate the product of radicals as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\sqrt[]{16}\times\sqrt[]{2} \\ =4\times\sqrt[]{2} \\ =4\sqrt[]{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The simplest radical form is 4√2.
writing exponential functions (4, 112/81), (-1, 21/2)
The given points are (4, 112/81) and (-1, 21/2).
To find an exponential function from the given points, we have to use the forms.
[tex]\begin{gathered} y_1=ab^{x_1} \\ y_2=ab^{x_2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we replace each point in each equation.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{112}{81}=ab^4 \\ \frac{21}{8}=ab^{-1} \end{gathered}[/tex]We solve this system of equations.
Let's isolate a in the second equation.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{21}{8}=\frac{a}{b} \\ \frac{21b}{8}=a \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, we replace it in the first equation
[tex]\frac{112}{81}=(\frac{21b}{8})\cdot b^4[/tex]We solve for b.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{112\cdot8}{81\cdot21}=b\cdot b^4 \\ \frac{896}{1701}=b^5 \\ b=\sqrt[5]{\frac{896}{1701}}=\frac{2\sqrt[5]{4}}{3} \\ b\approx0.88 \end{gathered}[/tex]Once we have the base of the exponential function, we look for the coefficient a.
[tex]a=\frac{21b}{8}=\frac{21}{8}(\frac{2\sqrt[5]{4}}{3})=\frac{7\sqrt[5]{4}}{4}[/tex]Therefore, the exponential function is[tex]y=\frac{7\sqrt[5]{4}}{4}\cdot(\frac{2\sqrt[5]{4}}{3})^x[/tex]The image below shows the graph of this function.
