If ab= 7x-6 and bc= 12-2x. Then what does ac equal?

1 answer:

4 0

Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)

bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)

Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)

Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;

(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:

ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72

If you place a 39-foot ladder against the top of a 23-foot building, how many feet will

Alborosie

Answer:

31.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 23² = 39²

Subtract 23² from both sides

a² = 39² - 23²

a² = 1521 - 529

a² = 992

Take the square root of both sides

a = 31.496031496

Rounded

a = 31.5 ft

Plot point C(2,7). If M is the midpoint of CD , what are the coordinates of D?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of D is (-4,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

C = (2,7)

M=(-1,-1) ----- Missing part of question

Required

Determine the coordinates of D

Let the coordinates of D be (x₂,y₂)

We'll solve this question using mid point formula;

$M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Where

$C(x_1,y_1) = (2,7)$ and $M(x,y) = (-1,-1)$

Put these values in the formula

$(-1,-1) = (\frac{2+x_2}{2},\frac{7+y_2}{2})$

By comparison;

$-1 = \frac{2+x_2}{2}$ and $-1 = \frac{7+y_2}{2}$

$-1 = \frac{2+x_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$-2 = 2 + x_2$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$-2 -2 = x_2$

$x_2 = -4$

$-1 = \frac{7+y_2}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2

$-2 = 7 + y_2$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$-2 - 7 = y_2$

$y_2 = -9$

Hence, the coordinates of D is (-4,-9)
