Answer:

x=2

bd/ba=be/bc

6/6+4=x+1/x+1+x

6/10=x+1/2x+1

12x+6=10x+10

12X-10X=10-6

2X=4

X=4÷2=2

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic proportionality theorem,

\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{CB}{BE}\\

AB = AD + DB = 4+6 = 10

CB = CE + EB = x + x +1 = 2x +1

\frac{10}{6}=\frac{2x+1}{x+1}

Cross multiply

10*(x+1) = 6*(2x+ 1)

10*x + 10*x = 6*2x + 6*1

10x + 10 = 12x + 6

Subtract 10x from both sides

10x + 10 - 10x = 12x + 6 - 10x

10 = 2x + 6

Subtract 6 form both sides

10 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6

4 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

4/2 = 2x/2

2  = x

x = 2

Write an equation for the line that has a slope -8/9 and goes through the point (-7, 7)
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know the slope, so the only thing left to find is the y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept, we can <u>plug in the slope and point to the slope-intercept form equation</u> (y = mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int.)

y   =     m *  x    + b

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

<u>Now, just solve for b!</u>

(7) = (-8/9)*(-7)   + b

7 = 56/9 + b

7 - (56/9) = b

b = 0.777777 (repeating decimal, usually signified by a little line above the 7)

so now we just <u>plug in the slope and y-intercept we found into y = mx + b.</u>

y = mx + b

y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777

Write the equation of a parabola having the vertex (1, −2) and containing the point (3, 6) in vertex form. Then, rewrite the equ
In-s [12.5K]
PART A

The equation of the parabola in vertex form is given by the formula,

y - k = a {(x - h)}^{2}

where

(h,k)=(1,-2)

is the vertex of the parabola.

We substitute these values to obtain,


y  + 2 = a {(x - 1)}^{2}

The point, (3,6) lies on the parabola.

It must therefore satisfy its equation.


6  + 2 = a {(3 - 1)}^{2}


8= a {(2)}^{2}


8=4a


a = 2
Hence the equation of the parabola in vertex form is


y  + 2 = 2 {(x - 1)}^{2}


PART B

To obtain the equation of the parabola in standard form, we expand the vertex form of the equation.

y  + 2 = 2{(x - 1)}^{2}

This implies that

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


We expand to obtain,


y + 2 = 2( {x}^{2}  - 2x + 1)


This will give us,


y + 2 = 2 {x}^{2}  - 4x + 2


y =  {x}^{2}  - 4x

This equation is now in the form,

y = a {x}^{2}  + bx + c
where

a=1,b=-4,c=0

This is the standard form

Zoey is designing a jewelry box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The base is 6 inches by 5 inches and the height is 4 inches
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

148 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: finding the area of the base (upper base plus lower base)

        2( L x W).                  

      2 (6in. x 5in.)

      2( 30 square inches.)

      60 square inches

Step 2: finding the area of first 2 sides

     2 ( l x w)

   2 ( 5in x 4in)

  2 ( 20 square inches.)

     40 square inches

step 3: finding the area of the last 2 sides

  2(lxw)

  2(4in.x 6in.)

 2(24 square inches.)

  48 square inches

step 4: combine all the answers.

60 square inches. + 40 square inches. + 48 square inches = 148 square inches
