Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since \overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}, by the corresponding angles theorem, \angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED. This means \triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.

Therefore, the answer is <u>5</u>

Can someone show the steps to factor 15x^x y^2 – 3x^3 y+75x^4
umka21 [38]
Step 1- Find the Greatest common factor (GCF)
GCF = 3
Step 2-  Factor out the GCF (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)
3(15x^xy^2/3 + -3x^3y/3 + 75x^4/3)
Step 3- Simplify each term in the parentheses 
3(5x^xy^2 - x^3y + 25x^4)

11. La rampa A tiene una distancia horizontal de 4 m y alcanza una altura de 05 m. En
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

La opción correcta es;

B.2 m 0,25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Por lo que los parámetros dados son;

La distancia horizontal de la rampa = 4 my la altura de la rampa = 0,5 m

Por lo tanto, tenemos la pendiente de la rampa = La relación entre la altura y la distancia horizontal de la rampa dada de la siguiente manera;

La pendiente de la rampa = 0.5 / 4 = 1/8

De las opciones dadas, tenemos;

Opción A. La pendiente de la rampa = 0,20 / 1 = 1/5

Opción B. La pendiente de la rampa = 0,25 / 2 = 1/8

Opción C. La pendiente de la rampa = 1/2

Opción D. La pendiente de la rampa = 1,5 / 3 = 1/2

Por tanto, la opción que tiene la misma pendiente que la rampa A es la opción B

How do I do question 2 &amp; 3 ? Please help thank you

<h2>2.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • y=2x(2 -3x)
<h3>Find</h3>
  • y·y'' +x·y' -16 in simplest form
<h3>Solution</h3>

It is convenient to expand the expression for y to ease determination of derivatives.

... y = 4x -6x²

... y' = 4 -12x

... y'' = -12

Then the differential expression can be written as

... (4x -6x²)(-12) +x(4 -12x) -16

... = -48x +72x² +4x -12x² -16

... = 60x² -44x -16

<h2>3.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • y = 16/x +x³/3
<h3>Find</h3>
  • the turning points
  • the extreme(s)
<h3>Solution</h3>

The derivative is

... y' = -16x^-2 + x^2

This is zero at the turning points, so

... -16/x^2 +x^2 = 0

... x^4 = 16 . . . . . . . . . multiply by x^2, add 16

... x^2 = ±√16 = ±4

We're only interested in the real values of x, so

... x = ±√4 = ±2 . . . . . . . x-values at the turning points

Then the turning points are

... y = 16/-2 +(-2)³/3 = -8 +-8/3 = -32/3 . . . . for x = -2

... y = 16/2 + 2³/3 = 8 +8/3 = 32/3 . . . . . . . for x = 2

The maximum is (-2, -10 2/3); the minimum is (2, 10 2/3).
