The measure of the side SQ from the given diagram is 19/6

<h3>Similar shapes</h3>

Similar shapes are shapes that has equal length and equal side measures and angles.

From the given diagram, the measure of the sides TSis congruent to SP and the measure of MS is congruent to SQ.

Using the expression below to determine the value of x

MS/ST = SQ/SP

Given the following parameters

MS =30

ST = 10

SQ = 6x-1

SP = 3 - 2x

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

30/10 = 6x-1/3-2x

Cross multiply

10(6x-1) = 30(3-2x)

Expand

60x - 10 = 90 - 60x

60x + 60x = 90 + 10

120x = 100

x = 10/12

x = 5/6

Determine the measure of SQ

SQ = 6x - 1

SQ = 5(5/6) - 1

SQ = 25/6 - 1

SQ = 19/6

Hence the measure of the side SQ from the given diagram is 19/6

Find the zeros of the function g(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 2x^2

solong [7]

set equal to 0

$0=x^4-x^3-2x^2$

factor out the $x^2$

$0=(x^2)(x^2-x-2)$

what 2 numbers multiply to get -2 and add to get -1? -2 and 1

$0=(x^2)(x-2)(x+1)$

set each equal to 0

$0=x^2$

x=0

x-2=0

x=2

x+1=0

x=-1

so the zeroes of the function are at x=-1, 0, 2

30 points!<br><br><br> The solutions to the equation: 2x2 + x-1 = 2 are x=-3/2 or X=___

frez [133]

Answer: A quadratic equation is one of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are numbers, and a is not equal to 0. So I think x = 4 but not 100%

Sorry if I'm wrong but I hope this helps

Use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the derivative of the function.

seropon [69]

Answer:

$h'(x)=\frac{3r^{2}}{2\sqrt{r^3+5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in its first part, shows us a reciprocal relationship between Derivatives and Integration

$g(x)=\int_{a}^{x}f(t)dt \:\:a\leqslant x\leqslant b$

2) In this case, we'll need to find the derivative applying the chain rule. As it follows:

$h(x)=\int_{a}^{x^{2}}\sqrt{5+r^{3}}\therefore h'(x)=\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x}\left (\int_{a}^{x^{2}}\sqrt{5+r^{3}}\right )\\h'(x)=\sqrt{5+r^{3}}\\Chain\:Rule:\\F'(x)=f'(g(x))*g'(x)\\h'=\sqrt{5+r^{3}}\Rightarrow h'(x)=\frac{1}{2}*(r^{3}+5)^{-\frac{1}{2}}*(3r^{2}+0)\Rightarrow h'(x)=\frac{3r^{2}}{2\sqrt{r^3+5}}$

3) To test it, just integrate:

$\int \frac{3r^{2}}{2\sqrt{r^3+5}}dr=\sqrt{r^{3}+5}+C$
