Find the value of x if a, b, and c are collinear points and b is between a and c. ab=x,bc=x 2,ac=14

Mathematics

The value of x is 7 for the given collinear points a, b, and c as b is the mid-point of ac.

According to the given question.

a, b, and c are collinear points. Which means all points a, b, and c lie in a same plane.

b is lies between a and c.

Also,

ab = x, bc = x and ac = 24.

Since, b lies in between a and c, and it is given that ab = x and bc = x.

Which means b is the mid point of ac.

Therefore,

ab + bc = ac

Substitute the values of ab, bc and ac in the above equation.

⇒ x + x = 14

⇒ 2x = 14

⇒ c = 14/2

⇒ c = 7

Therefore, the value of x is 7.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<h3>Answer:    (-3, 0)</h3>

Explanation:

Point N is at (1,3)

We apply the rule (x,y) \to (x-4,y-3) which will translate the point 4 units to the left and 3 units down.

The old x coordinate x = 1 becomes x-4 = 1-4 = -3

The old y coordinate y = 3 becomes y-3 = 3-3 = 0

The point N(1,3) moves to N ' (-3, 0)

6.81 is what percent of 45.5
frosja888 [35]

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 45.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 45.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45.5=100%.

4. We know, that x is 6.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.81%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 45.5=100%

2) x=6.81%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

45.5/x=100%/6.81%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.


7. Solution for what is 6.81% of 45.5


45.5/x=100/6.81

(45.5/x)*x=(100/6.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

45.5=14.684287812041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.684287812041) to get x

45.5/14.684287812041=x

3.09855=x

x=3.09855

now we have:

6.81% of 45.5=3.09855

Hope this helps!

Leonard is studying the relationship between the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg), y, and the speed in miles per hour (
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

D. There is a nonlinear relationship between the speed and fuel efficiency.  

Step-by-step explanation:

A desirable residual plot should show a horizontal band with points randomly distributed about the horizontal axis.

Leonard's plot is definitely nonlinear.

The residuals show a good fit to a parabola.

This suggests that the relation between speed and fuel efficiency may be parabolic.
