Answer:

$EF=9\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Trapezoid Mid-segment Theorem</em></u> states that: A line connecting the midpoints of the two legs of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and its length is equal to half the sum of lengths of the bases

so In this problem

$EF=\frac{1}{2}[AD+BC]$

substitute the given values

$x=\frac{1}{2}[(x-6)+(2x-3)]$

$x=\frac{1}{2}[3x-9]$

$2x=(3x-9)\\3x-2x=9\\x=9$

$AD=x-6=9-6=3\ units$

$EF=x=9\ units$

$BC=2x-3=2(9)-3=15\ units$

Kyle claimed that the given quadrilaterals are similar because the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal. Is Kyle's claim

Savatey [412]

The claim made by Kyle is not entirely true and unjustifiable because for the figures or solids to be similar, not only the corresponding sides should have the finite ratio but also the corresponding angles should be equal. Although, the claim depends on the type of quadrilateral.

Use the quotient of negative numbers:

strojnjashka [21]

If you divide negative by positive it will be negative.
If you divide positive by negative it will be negative.
If you divide 2 negatives you get a positive.
I hope this helps :)

For the equation F(x) = ax² + bx + c we have:

maximum value if a<0
minimum value if a>0

F(x) = -3x² + 18x + 3 ⇒ a = -3, b = 18

a < 0 ⇒ the function has a maximum value

Quadratic function has the maximum value (or minimum) at vertex of its parabola.

The maximum value is k at x=h where: $h=\dfrac{-b}{2a}$ and k = F(h)

$h=\dfrac{-18}{2\cdot(-3)}=3\\\\F(3)=-3\cdot3^2+18\cdot3+3=-27+54+3=30$

Therefore:

<h3> The function has a maximum value of 30 at x = 3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following refrigerator characteristics :

brand name and model - - > CATEGORICAL

whether it has a top freezer, bottom freezer, or side-by-side LAYOUT - - > CATEGORICAL

the estimated energy consumption per year (kilowatts); - - - > QUANTITATIVE

whether or not it is Energy Star COMPLIANT - - > CAREGORICAL

the width, depth, and height in INCHES - - - > QUANTITATIVE

both the freezer and refrigerator net capacity, in cubic FEET - - - > QUANTITATIVE

To start with ; Categorical and quantitative variables differ most notably in the fact that, quantitative variables deals with numbers, measurements or calculated mathematical values of certain attribute in a measured species or sample. Categorical variable on the other hand mostly deals with making distinctions in properties of a sample by grouping the varibale into the different available categories based on their attributes.
