To prove that the given triangle is an isosceles, two of its sides must have equal lengths.

Between D(2,-5) and E(6,-1):
d = √(6 - 2)² + (-1 - ⁻5)² = 4√2

Between E(6,-1) and F(5,6):
d = √(5 - 6)² + (6 - ⁻1)² = 5√2

Between D(2,-5) and F(5,6)
d = √(5 - 2)² + (6 - ⁻5)² = √130

<em>Since there are no equal lengths, the triangle is NOT an isosceles triangle.</em>

The bisector of angle F is a line segment from vertex F to the midpoint of line DE.

Midpoint: x = (2+6)/2 = 4; y = (-5+-1)/2 = -3
The midpoint is at (4,-3).
The equation of the line follows the point-slope formula:
y - y₁ = [(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)](x - x₁)
Substituting using points (5,6) and (4,-3)
y - 6 = [(⁻3 - 6)/(4 - 6)](x - 5)
y - 6 = (9/2)(x - 5)
2(y - 6) = 9(x - 5)
2y - 12 = 9x - 45
<em>2y - 9x = -33 </em>

Divide by using long<br><br> division.<br><br> (x²-x-6)<br><br> =<br><br> (x-3)
Fudgin [204]

Answer: x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation to solve by long division :

Divide x² - x - 6 by x - 3

x in the divisor is used to divide the x² in the Dividend to obtain a value of x as the quotient. The quotient value is multiplied by each value in the Dividend and so on.

This steps taken obtain the quotient is clearly shown in the picture attached.

2/5 + k/4 = 9/10 (solve with work)
Alla [95]

The LCD of 2/5 + k/4 = 9/10 is 20. Applying this LCD, we get:


8 + 5k = 18. Subtracting 8 from both sides: 5k = 10. Then k = 10/5, or k = 2.
