Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If there is a number right next to a bracket, then it means that it should be multiplied. --> 4(5 -2x) = 25 - 10x

2) (20 - 8x) + 3 = 23 - 8x

3) 23 - 8x = 7

4) 16 = 8x

5) We divide both sides with 8 to leave x. --> 2 = x

6) x = 2

Answer:

$\text{Length of AB is }\frac{ah}{a+h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △KMN, ABCD is a square where KN=a, MP⊥KN, MP=h.

we have to find the length of AB.

Let the side of square i.e AB is x units.

As ADCB is a square ⇒ ∠CDN=90°⇒∠CDP=90°

⇒ CP||MP||AB

In ΔMNP and ΔCND

∠NCD=∠NMP (∵ corresponding angles)

∠NDC=∠NPM (∵ corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔMNP~ΔCND

Also, ΔKAP~ΔKPM by similarity rule as above.

Hence, corresponding sides are in proportion

$\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{CD}{MP} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{AB}{PM} \\\\\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{x}{h} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{x}{h}\\\\\frac{NP}{ND}=\frac{h}{x} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}\\\\\frac{PD}{ND}=\frac{h}{x}-1 \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{AP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}-1\\$

$KA(\frac{h}{x}-1)=AP$

$ND(\frac{h}{x}-1)=PD$

Adding above two, we get

$(KA+ND)(\frac{h}{x}-1)=(AP+PD)$

⇒ $(KN-AD)=\frac{x}{(\frac{h}{x}-1)}$

⇒ $a-x=\frac{x}{(\frac{h}{x}-1)}$

⇒ $a-x=\frac{x^2}{h-x}$

⇒ $x^2=ah-ax-xh+x^2$

⇒ $x(h+a)=ah$

⇒ $x=\frac{ah}{a+h}$

Write the first three terms in the following sequences. Identify them as arithmetic or geometric

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

$A(1)=9$

$A(2)=4$

$A(3)=-1$

Arithmetic sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$A(n+1)=A(n)-5 \;for\;n\geq 1$ A(1)=9

We have to find first three terms and identify the sequence is geometric or arithmetic.

Substitute n=1

Then, we get

$A(2)=A(1)-5=9-5=4$

For n=2

$A(3)=A(2)-5=4-5=-1$

For n=3

$A(4)=-1-5=-6$

$d_1=A_2-A_1=4-9=-5$

$d_2=A_3-A_2=-1-4=-5$

$d_3=A_4-A_3=-6+1=-5$

$d_1=d_2=d_3=-5$

When the difference of consecutive terms are constant then the sequence is arithmetic sequence.

Therefore, given sequence is arithmetic sequence.

Sarah wants to fence her garden, as shown below. Determine how much fencing to the nearst foot that

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

431.775 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically we should first find the area of the rectangles which is 28 ft * 15 ft, which you get 420. Next for the semicircle, the diameter is 15 but we need the radius so you divide that by 2 to get 7.5 as the radius. Then u multiply 7.5 * π, or 3.14 to get 23.55. But since its a semicircle, or half a circle we divide 23.55 by 2 which is 11.775. Then we just add the results which is 420 ft and 11.755 ft to get a total area of 431.775 ft.

-Hope this helped!
