The median triangle is a line segment that connects the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. Therefore, in the given, we can say that RS = QS

Equating RS and QS, we will find the value of X

RS = QS 
5x-11 = 2x+7
5x-2x = 7+11    ⇒ combine like terms
3x = 18             ⇒ divide both sides by 3 to get the x value 
x = 6

Find the value of RS and QS, in this, we will show that two are equal

5(6)-11 = 2(6)+7
19 = 19  ⇒ correct

Therefore RQ is the sum of RS and QS or simply twice the length of either segment

RQ = 19 x 2 = 19 + 19 = 38 (D)

The 6 consecutive integers below add up to 447. x − 2 x − 1 x x + 1 x + 2 x + 3 what is the value of x ? f. 72 g. 73 h. 74 j. 75
IrinaVladis [17]
(x-2) + (x-1) + x + (x+1) + (x-2) + (x+3) = 447
6x + 3 = 447
6x = 447 - 3
6x = 444
x = 444/6
x = 74

Which expression below gives the average rate of change of the function g(x) = -x2 - 4x on the interval 6 ≤ x ≤ 8 ?
Paha777 [63]

Answer: -18

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average rate of change is slope: \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}.  Need to find the y-coordinates:

g(x) = -x² - 4x

g(6) = -(6)² - 4(6)

      = -36 - 24

      = -60

⇒ (6, -60)

g(8) = -(8)² - 4(8)

      = -64 - 32

      = -96

⇒ (8, -96)

m = \frac{-96 - (-60)}{8 - 6}

   = \frac{-36}{2}

   = -18
