Answer:

  7)  BC = 10

  8)  BD = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

7) The segment addition theorem tells you ...

  AB +BC +CD = AD

  (3x+2) +(2x+4) +(3x-2) = 28

  8x +4 = 28 . . . . collect terms

  8x = 24 . . . . . . . subtract 4

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

  BC = 2x+4 = 2(3) +4

  BC = 10

__

8) AB +BD = AC +CD

  (2x -14) +(-7 +3x) = (2x -3) +(9)

  5x -21 = 2x +6

  3x = 27

  x = 9

  BD = -7 +3x = -7 +3(9)

  BD = 20

Hat is the equation of the quadratic function with a vertex at (2,–25) and an x-intercept at (7,0)?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

y = x² - 4x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (2, - 25), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 25

To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation

0 = a(7 - 2)² - 25 = a(5)² - 25 = 25a - 25 ( add 25 from both sides )

25a = 25 ( divide both sides by 25

a = 1, thus

y = (x - 2)² - 25 ← in vertex form

Expand and simplify

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 25

y = x² - 4x - 21 ← in standard form

What is the value of x?<br><br> x = 45°<br> x = 65°<br> x = 70°<br> x = 115°
dem82 [27]

The three inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees.

To find X subtract the two known angles from 180.

X = 180 - 45 - 70

X = 65 degrees.

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.
BARSIC [14]

Look carefully at the first pair:  (−3, 9), (−3, −5)  Note that x does not change, tho' y does.  This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined).  The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.

Looking at the second pair:  from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.

Third pair:  as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis).  The slope is undefined.
