Points A, B, and C are collinear. Point B is between A and C. Find the length indicated. Find BC if AB=2x-12, AC=14, and BC=x+2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  BC = 10

======================================================

Work Shown:

The term "collinear" means all points fall on the same straight line.

Point B is on segment AC.

Through the segment addition postulate, we can say

AB+BC = AC

This is the idea where we glue together smaller segments to form a larger segment, and we keep everything to be a straight line.

Apply substitution and solve for x

AB+BC = AC

2x-12+x+2 = 14

3x-10 = 14

3x = 14+10

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

Then we can find the length of BC

BC = x+2

BC = 8+2

BC = 10

--------

Note that AB = 2x-12 = 2*8-12 = 16-12 = 4

and how AB+BC = 4+10 = 14 which matches with AC = 14

Therefore we have shown AB+BC = AC is true to confirm the answer.

Answer 2

Collinear points are points on the same line.

The value of BC is 10

Since points A, B and C are on the same line, where B is between points A and C.

So, we have:

[tex]AC = AB + BC[/tex]

Substitute values for AC, AB and BC

[tex]14 = 2x - 12 + x + 2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2x +x =14 + 12 - 2[/tex]

[tex]3x =24[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

[tex]x =8[/tex]

Substitute 8 for x in BC = x + 2

[tex]BC =8 + 2[/tex]

[tex]BC =10[/tex]

Hence, the value of BC is 10

Answers

Answer: d) v = 3.20 + 1.50n.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'v' be the price to pay in a 'n' kilometer.

Given: The price to be paid for a taxi ride includes a fixed parcel, called a flag, and a parcel that depends on the distance traveled.

Flag costs = $ 3.20 and

Each kilometre run costs = $ 1.50

Then, the amount of 'v' to pay in a 'n' kilometer race = Flag costs +   (n)× (Each kilometre run costs )

⇒ v= 3.20 + 1.50n

Hence, the correct option is  d) v = 3.20 + 1.50n.

( a ) Well we know that the limit for the range is 400 dollars, as ( 1 ) her greatest balance was 400 dollars, and ( 2 ) the balance is dependent on the days, and hence represents the range. Respectively the limit for the domain would be 3 weeks.

( b ) Remember that B(0) models the balance over the course of 0 days. As you can see that starting mark is about half of the greatest balance on the graph, 400 dollars. Therefore you can estimate B(0) to be $200.

( c ) B(12) models the balance over the course of 12 days. It mentions that at B(12) the balance reaches $0, so in function notation that would be :

B(12) = 0

( d ) Segment 4 would represent that information. As you can see on the graph, the only time period with which the balance became 0 is represented by the fourth segment.

You first multiply the six with the equation in the parentheses making it:

You then subtract 4n from -6n changing it to:

-2n + 12 = -24 + 7n after that you switch the 12 and 7n so that the equation can be

-2n -7n = -24 - 12

After that combine the numbers together:

-9n = -36

Then divide both sides by -9 making

find y of a paralagram

Answers

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent.

5y - 20 = 2y + 25

3y = 45

y = 15

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The top and bottom sides have to be equal in length

5y-20 = 2y+25

Subtract 2y from each side

5y-2y-20 = 2y-2y+25

3y -20 = 25

Add 20 to each side

3y = 20+25

3y = 45

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = 45/3

y = 15

A triangle has sides of lengths 16, 63, and 65. Is it a right triangle? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If a triangle is a right triangle, the 3 side lengths will check out in the Pythagorean Theorem.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

The legs are the 2 shorter lengths and the hypotenuse is the longest length. The 3 side lengths are: 16,63 and 65. Therefore, 16 and 63 are the legs and 65 is the hypotenuse.

a=16

b=63

c=65

[tex]16^2+63^2=65^2[/tex]

Evaluate each exponent.

16^2=16*16=256

[tex]256+63^3=65^2[/tex]

63^2=63*63=3969

[tex]256+3969=65^2[/tex]

65^2=65*65=4225

[tex]256+3969= 4225[/tex]

Add 256 and 3969

[tex]4225=4225[/tex]

The statement above is true; 4225 is equal to 4225. Therefore, this is a right triangle because the side lengths check out when plugged into the Pythagorean Theorem.

The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 10 when the dishes are reversed the number increases by 18 find the original number

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, we can write this number ab where a and b are integer betwen 0 and 9.

For instance, 54, a = 5, b = 4

And then, we can say ab = 10 * a + b.

For instance, 54  = 50 + 4 = 5*10 + 4.

The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 10.

a +  b = 10

When the dishes are reversed the number increases by 18.

10b + a = 18 + 10a + b

9b = 18 + 9a

b = 2 + a

We replace in the first equation to get.

a + 2 + a = 10

2a = 10 -2 = 8

a = 4

and then, b = 6

So, the number is 46.

Thank you

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

x =20.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the value of 1/2 of x using the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 6^2 = 12^2

a^2 = 36+144

a^2 = 108

Take the square root

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt( 108)

a =sqrt(36*3)

a = sqrt(36) sqrt(3)

a = 6sqrt(3)

Now x = 2 times the length of a

x = 2 * 6 sqrt(3)

x = 12 sqrt(3)

x =20.78460969

x =20.8

Which of the following lengths and widths represents a rectangle whose diagonal is rational? Question 3 options: length = 2, width = 1 length = 4, width = 4 length = 3, width = 2 length = 4, width = 3

Answers

Answer:

Correct option is length = 4, width = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diagonal of a rectangle is rational.

To find:

Which of the following length and width options represent a rectangle ?

options:

length = 2, width = 1

length = 4, width = 4

length = 3, width = 2

length = 4, width = 3

Solution:

First of all, let us consider a rectangle as shown in the attached answer image.

Rectangle ABCD.

Width of rectangle is AB.

Width of rectangle is BC.

And the diagonal AC or BD can be found by using Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AC^{2} = AB^{2} + BC^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = Length^{2} + Width^{2}[/tex]

Now, let us find diagonal for each option and check whether it is rational or not.

Option 1:

length = 2, width = 1

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 2^{2} + 1^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 5\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \sqrt5[/tex]

Not rational

Option 2:

length = 4, width = 4

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 4^{2} + 4^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 32\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = 4\sqrt2[/tex]

Not rational.

Option 3:

length = 3, width = 2

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 3^{2} + 2^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 13\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \sqrt{13}[/tex]

Not rational.

Option 4:

length = 4, width = 3

[tex]Diagonal^{2} = 4^{2} + 3^{2}\\\Rightarrow Diagonal^{2} = 25\\\Rightarrow Diagonal = \sqrt{25} = 5[/tex]

Diagonal is rational.

Correct option is length = 4, width = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

tan x = -1

[tex]x = tan^{-1}(-1)[/tex]

x = -45

tan x = 5

[tex]x = tan^{-1}(5)[/tex]

x = 78.69

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we want to find the solutions to the two equations:

[tex]\tan(x)=-1 \text{ and } \tan(x)=5[/tex]

I)

[tex]\tan(x)=-1\\x=\tan^{-1}(-1)[/tex]

Recall the unit circle. First, note that the number inside tangent is negative. Because of this, we can be certain that the x (in radians) must be in Quadrant II and/or IV (This is because of All Students Take Calculus, where All is positive in QI, only Sine is positive in Q2, only Tangent is positive in Q3, and only Cosine is positive in QIV. Tangent is negative so the only possible choice are QII and QIV).

From the unit circle, we can see that x=3π/4 is a possible candidate since tan(3π/4)=-1.

Since tangent repeats every π, 7π/4 must also be an answer (because 3π/4 + π = 7π/4). And, as expected, 7π/4 is indeed in QIV.

Therefore, for the first equation, the solutions are:

[tex]x=3\pi/4 \text{ and } 7\pi/4[/tex]

II)

For the second equation, there is no exact value for which tangent of an angle would be equal to 5. Thus, we need to approximate.

So:

[tex]\tan(x)=5\\x=\tan^{-1}(5)\\x=\tan^{-1}(5) \text{ and } \tan^{-1}(5)+\pi[/tex]

We got the second answer because, like previously, tangent repeats every π, so we only need to add π to get the second answer.

In approximations, this is:

[tex]x\approx1.3734 \text{ and } x\approx4.5150[/tex]

Note: All the answers are in radians.

Complete the square to solve 4x2 + 24x = 4.

Answers

Answer:

x = - 3 ± [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² + 24x = 4 ( divide through by 4 )

x² + 6x = 1

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 1 + 9

(x + 3)² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ± [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]

Answer:

X=1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the product 4x×2 + 24x = 4

Collect like terms 8x + 24x = 4

Divide both sides of the equation by "32" 32x = 4

Solution x = 1/8

Find the third term of the geometric sequence when a^1=1/4 and r=−2

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence is a geometric sequence

For an nth term in a geometric sequence

[tex]A(n) = a ({r})^{n - 1} [/tex]

where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 1/4

r = - 2

Since we are finding the third term

n = 3

So the third term of the sequence is

[tex]A(3) = \frac{1}{4} ({ - 2})^{3 - 1} [/tex]

[tex]A(3) = \frac{1}{4}( { - 2})^{2} [/tex]

[tex]A(3) = \frac{1}{4} \times 4[/tex]

We have the final answer as

A(3) = 1

Which expression can be used to convert 100 USD to
Japanese yen?

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First, we want to see how many Japanese yen there are for 1 U.S. dollar.

This slash (/) means per or for. We see that in the column (USD/1 Unit) the Japanese yen cell has 0.01007. This means that that is how many US dollars there are for each Japanese yen.

However, we want to find how many Japanese yen there are per U.S. dollar. Well, this is the same as writing Yen/1 USD, and in that column we have 99.30487, which means that for every 1 U.S. dollar we have, we have 99.30487 Japanese yen. This means that for $100, we would have 9930.487 Japanese yen.

This / can also represent a dividing sign or a fraction.

What we did is simply take our Units/1 USD and we multiplied the result by $100 (99.30487/1=99.30487, 99.30487×100=9930.487). This matches with the answer 100 USD(99.30487 yen. 1 USD)

Currency exchange is pretty tricky, but if you keep on practicing you'll get very good at it!

Have a wonderful day! :D

The expression that would be most useful in converting $100 to Japanese Yen is 100 ( 99.30487 Yen / 1)

You can use direct proportion to solve this:

If $1 is to Y99.30487 then what will $100 be equal to:

1         :          99.30487 Yen

100    :                x

Cross multiply to get:

1x = 99.30487 Yen x 100

x = (99.30487 Yen x 100) / 1

Which can be written as:

= 100 ( 99.30487 Yen / 1)

In conclusion, the most useful expression to convert $100 to Yen is 100 (99.30487 Yen / 1)

Let T represent the temperature (in Celsius), and let H be the height above the surface (in kilometers). Write an equation relating T to H, and then graph your equation using the axes below.

Answers

Answer:

T(H) = -3H + 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant will be 50 degrees Celsius. The surface temperature at the location will not change. The temperature decreases by 3 degrees Celsius for every kilometer going up, so the slope will be -3 degrees.

You are trying to find the temperature on the planet, and you are changing the kilometers of altitude to find the temperature. The x-variable is your independent variable, which means that you will be changing the x-variable. So, H is your x-variable while T is your y-variable.

T = -3H + 50.

To graph, we can use the Math is Fun Function Grapher and Calculator. The graph is seen below.

f(x) = x2. What is g(x)?

pls help it’s due soon!!

Answers

Answer:

A. g(x) = (2x)²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram of the two functions graph f(x) is the parent function and g(x) is the transformed function. you can see that the graph of g(x) is stretched vertically compared to the graph of g(x). The Parent function has y =1 corresponding to x =1 while for the transformed function when x = 1, y = 4 the graph is vertically stretched by a factor of 4, and horizontally The Parent function has y =1 corresponding to x =1. while for the transformed function when x = 0.5, y = 1, it is stretched  horizontally by 2 (√4), i.e

This means that g(x) = 4x² = (2x)²

Nam worked on a job for 10 days. On each of the last 2 days, he worked 2 hours more than the mean number of hours he worked per day during the first 8 days. If he worked 69 hours in all, how many hours did he work during the last 2 days together?

Answers

Answer: 17 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that On each of the last 2 days, he worked 2 hours more than the mean number of hours he worked per day during the first 8 days. That is he worked additional 4 hours for the two days.

Let the total hours for the 8 days = E

The mean = E/8 = 0.125E

For the two last days, he worked

( 0.125E + 2 ) × 2 = 0.25E + 4

If he worked 69 hours in all, then

E + 0.25E + 4 = 69

Collect the like terms

1.25E = 69 - 4

1.25E = 65

E = 65/1.25

E = 52.

Now find the mean of the first 8 days

Mean = 52 / 8 = 6.5 hours

Nam works during the last 2 days together for:

(6.5 + 2)×2

8.5 × 2 = 17 hours
