Proportions in similar triangles

Proportions In Similar Triangles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that DE is parallel to AC then DE divides the sides proportionally, so

[tex]\frac{BD}{DA}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BE}{EC}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x+2}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) ← distribute

3x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4

Sketch the graph of y = (x + 3)2 – 4 and identify the axis of symmetry.

Answers

Answer: Thought I’d return the favor and help u with this question! But anyways, the axis of symmetry is at x = -3.

Explanatio: This can be found by looking at the basic form of vertex form:

y = (x - h)^2 + k

In this basic form the vertex is (h, k). By looking at what is plugged into the equation, it is clear that h = -3 and k = -4. This means the vertex is at (-3, -4).

It is a fact that the axis of symmetry is a vertical line of x = (vertex value of x). So we can determine that the axis of symmetry is at x = -3

Calculate the mean mass​

Answers

Answer:

82 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean of a set of values, we must add them up and divide by the number of values.

Step 1, adding the values:

[tex]75+68+78+82+85+90+88+92+76=\\734[/tex]

Step 2, dividing by the # of terms:

There are 9 terms in total.

The weight Wkg of a metal bar varies jointly as it's length L and the square of it's diameter D mm. If W=140 when D =4 and L=54, find D interm of W and L

Answers

Answer:

D = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{216W}{35L} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, the expression showing the relationship among the weight, length and diameter of the metal bar is;

W [tex]\alpha[/tex] L[tex]D^{2}[/tex]

W = kL[tex]D^{2}[/tex]

where k is the constant of proportionality.

When W = 140, D = 4 and L = 54, then;

140 = k(54)[tex](4)^{2}[/tex]

      = 864k

k = [tex]\frac{140}{864}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{35}{216}[/tex]

k = [tex]\frac{35}{216}[/tex]

⇒ W = [tex]\frac{35LD^{2} }{216}[/tex]

So that;

35L[tex]D^{2}[/tex] = 216W

[tex]D^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{216W}{35L}[/tex]

D = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{216W}{35L} }[/tex]

Find the area of the trapezoid. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Area = 52\sqrt3 \ ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid

                         [tex](\frac{a+ b}{2}) \times h[/tex]      -----------( 1 )

We will split the trapezoid into Triangle and rectangle. To find the height and full length of base.

[tex]sin 60 = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]   [tex][ opposite \ in \ the \ equation \ \ is \ the \ height \ of \ the \ trapezoid ][/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt3}{2} = \frac{opposite }{ 8}\\\\\frac{\sqrt3}{2} \times 8 = opposite\\\\4\sqrt3 = opposite[/tex]

Therefore, h = 4√3 ft

[tex]cos 60 = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]    [tex]adjacent \ in \ the\ equation \ is \ the\ base \ of \ the \ triangle ][/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\frac{1}{2} \times 8 = adjacent\\\\4 = adjacent[/tex]

Therefore, a = 11 feet, b = 11 + 4 = 15 feet

Substitute the values in the Area equation :

                                                [tex]Area = \frac{11 + 15}{2} \times 4 \sqrt3 = \frac{26}{2} \times 4\sqrt3 = 13 \times 4\sqrt3=52\sqrt3 \ ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3[/tex]

Correctly combine the like terms

We have:

Collect like terms (in decreasing degrees of m)

[tex]- 2m^6 - 4m^6 - mn^5- m^3n^3 - 4m^3n^3+ 5m^2n^4 + 9m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6[/tex]

[tex]-6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6[/tex]

So:

[tex]8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3 = -6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6[/tex]

Answer:

Sequence 2/4, 3/5, 4/6, 5/7

This sequence can be summarized as:

[tex]\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{n+2}{n+4}[/tex]

To test if it converges, we can calculate the limite of [tex]\frac{n+2}{n+4}[/tex] as n goes to infinite.

Limit:

[tex]\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{n+2}{n+4}[/tex]

Considering only the terms with the highest exponent in the numerator and the denominator:

[tex]\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{n+2}{n+4} = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{n}{n} = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} 1 = 1[/tex]

Thus, the sequences converges to 1.

If the profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost, what expression represents the profit? 3x – 260 3x + 140 5x – 260 5x + 140

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P =5x-260[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]R = 3x^2 + 4x - 60[/tex] --- Revenue

[tex]C = 3x^2 - x + 200[/tex] --- Cost

Required

The expression for profit (P)

This is calculated as:

[tex]P =R - C[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P =3x^2 + 4x - 60 - (3x^2 -x+200)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]P =3x^2 + 4x - 60 - 3x^2 +x-200[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]P =3x^2 - 3x^2+ 4x +x- 60-200[/tex]

[tex]P =5x-260[/tex]

If the profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost, 5x – 260  expression represents the profit. Correct option is 3.

The profit is calculated by subtracting the cost from the revenue. In mathematical terms, the profit (P) can be represented as:

Profit (P) = Revenue - Cost

Among the given options:

1. 3x - 260

2. 3x + 140

3. 5x - 260

4. 5x + 140

We need an expression where the first term represents the revenue and the second term represents the cost, so that when we subtract the cost from the revenue, we get the profit.

Option 3, 5x - 260, fits this pattern:

- Revenue: 5x

- Cost: 260

When we subtract the cost from the revenue:

Profit (P) = Revenue - Cost = 5x - 260

So, option 3, 5x - 260, is the expression that represents the profit.
