The diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet what is the value of x?
1 answer:
The value of x is 4.
Given that diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet as shown in the attached figure.
The diagonal of a rectangle is a line or straight line that connects the opposite corners or vertices of the rectangle.
In the given figure ABCD is a rectangle.
OA=2x+1 and OD=x+5 [Given]
AC and BD are diagonals of a rectangle.
As we know that the diagonals of a rectangle are always equal.
So, AC = BD
We can also write it as,
2×OA=2×OD
2×(2x+1) =2×(x+5)
Apply the distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac, we get
4x+2=2x+10
Subtract 2x from both sides, we get
4x+2-2x=2x+10-2x
2x+2=10
Subtract 2 from both sides, we get
2x+2-2=10-2
2x=8
Divide both sides by 2, we get
2x/x=8/2
x=4
Hence, the value of x=4 when diagonals of a rectangle measure x+5 feet and 2x+1 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
transform the parent graph of f(x) = ln x into f(x) = - ln (x - 4) by shifting the parent graph 4 units to the right and reflecting over the x-axis
(???, 0): 0 = - ln (x - 4)
0 = ln (x - 4)
1 = x - 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
5 = x
(5, 0)
(???, 1): 1 = - ln (x - 4)
1 = ln (x - 4)
e = x - 4
<u> +4 </u> <u> +4 </u>
e + 4 = x
6.72 = x
(6.72, 1)
Domain: x - 4 > 0
<u> +4 </u> <u>+4 </u>
x > 4
(4, ∞)
Vertical asymptotes: there are no vertical asymptotes for the parent function and the transformation did not alter that
No vertical asymptotes

transform the parent graph of f(x) = 3ˣ into f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵ by shifting the parent graph 5 units to the left and reflecting over the x-axis
Domain: there is no restriction on x so domain is all real number
(-∞, ∞)
Range: there is a horizontal asymptote for the parent graph of y = 0 with range of y > 0. the transformation is a reflection over the x-axis so the horizontal asymptote is the same (y = 0) but the range changed to y < 0.
(-∞, 0)
Y-intercept is when x = 0:
f(x) = - 3ˣ⁺⁵
= - 3⁰⁺⁵
= - 3⁵
= -243
Horizontal Asymptote: y = 0 <em>(explanation above)</em>
