∆ABC ~∆DEF so if BC=8 , EF=24 and DE=21, then AB=____?____ ( THERE ARE 2 ANSWERS)

Mathematics

Let's look at the difference between BC and EF.

24:8

Simplify it.

3:1 It was dilated by 3.

So, we just need to divide 21 by 3.

21/3= 7

AB= 7

I don't understand why there are two answers to the question because the question is specifically asking for what is equal to AB. It might be asking you to tell them what is congruent to AB, in that case; DE is congruent to AB.

AB=7, DE <- something like that

I hope this helps!

50pts*Need Help Asap no rocky....Why is there more than one solution the quadratic equation x^2=9??
frozen [14]
There is more than one solution because there are two different numbers whose square is 9. One of them is +3. The other is -3.

The fundamental theorem of algebra says every non-zero single-variable polynomial of degree N has exactly N roots, counting multiplicity. Your polynomial is degree 2, so has 2 roots.

On a single set of axes, sketch a picture of the graphs of the following four equations: y = −x+ √ 2, y = −x− √ 2, y = x+ √ 2, a
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

( 1/√ 2 , 1/√ 2 ) , ( 1/√ 2 , - 1/√ 2 ),  ( -1/√ 2 , 1/√ 2 ) , ( -1/√ 2 , - 1/√ 2 )  

y + 1 = - ( x + 2 ) + √ 2 , y + 1 = - ( x + 2 ) - √ 2 ,  y + 1 = ( x + 2 ) - √ 2

             y + 1 = ( x + 2 ) + √ 2  ,   ( x + 2 )^2 + ( y + 1)^2 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Four functions to construct a diamond:

                y = −x+ √ 2,  y = −x− √ 2,  y = x+ √ 2, and y = x − √ 2.

Find:

a)Show that the unit circle sits inside this diamond tangentially; i.e. show that the unit circle intersects each of the four lines exactly once.

b)Find the intersection points between the unit circle and each of the four lines.

(c) Construct a diamond shaped region in which the circle of radius 1 centered at (−2, − 1) sits tangentially. Use the techniques of this section to help.

Solution:

- For first part see the attachment.

- The equation of the unit circle is given as follows:

                                      x^2 + y^2 = 1

- To determine points of intersection we have to solve each given function of y with unit circle equation for set of points of intersection:

                                For:  y = −x+ √ 2 , x - √ 2

                                And: x^2 + y^2 = 1

                                x^2 + (+/- * (x - √ 2))^2 = 1

                                x^2 + (x - √ 2)^2 = 1

                                2x^2 -2√ 2*x + 2 = 1

                                2x^2 -2√ 2*x + 1 = 0

                                 2[ x^2 - √ 2] + 1 = 0

Complete sqr:         (1 - 1/√ 2)^2 = 0

                                 x = 1/√ 2 , x = 1/√ 2                                          

                                 y = -1/√ 2 + √ 2 = 1/√ 2

                                 y = 1/√ 2 - √ 2 = - 1/√ 2

Points are:                ( 1/√ 2 , 1/√ 2 ) , ( 1/√ 2 , - 1/√ 2 )

- Using vertical symmetry of unit circle we can also evaluate other intersection points by intuition:

                                x = - 1/√ 2

                                 y = 1/√ 2 , -1/√ 2

Points are:              ( -1/√ 2 , 1/√ 2 ) , ( -1/√ 2 , - 1/√ 2 )  

- To determine the function for the rhombus region that would be tangential to unit circle with center at ( - 2 , - 1 ):

- To shift our unit circle from origin to ( - 2 , - 1 ) i.e two units left and 1 unit down.

- For shifts we use the following substitutions:

                           x = x + 2  ....... 2 units of left shift

                           y = y + 1 .......... 1 unit of down shift

- Now substitute the above shifting expression in all for functions we have:

                          y = −x+ √ 2 ----->  y + 1 = - ( x + 2 ) + √ 2

                          y = −x− √ 2 ----->  y + 1 = - ( x + 2 ) - √ 2

                          y = x- √ 2 ------->  y + 1 = ( x + 2 ) - √ 2

                          y = x+ √ 2 ------> y + 1 = ( x + 2 ) + √ 2

                          x^2 + y^2 = 1 ----->  ( x + 2 )^2 + ( y + 1)^2 = 1

- The following diamond shape graph would have the 4 functions as:

             y + 1 = - ( x + 2 ) + √ 2 , y + 1 = - ( x + 2 ) - √ 2 ,  y + 1 = ( x + 2 ) - √ 2

             y + 1 = ( x + 2 ) + √ 2  ,   ( x + 2 )^2 + ( y + 1)^2 = 1

- See attachment for the new sketch.
