Remark
When you have two parallel lines cutting the sides of a triangle and one of them is the base of the triangle, then the 2 sides cut form a proportion. The safest way to handle this is to set up the proportion so that you are talking about sides of similar triangles..

Givens
BD || AE
CD = 16
CE = 16 + 4
CB = 12
CA = 12 + x

Set Up the Proportion
CD/CE = CB / CA

Substitute and Solve
16/20 = 12/(12 + x)                Cross multiply
16*(12 + x) = 20 * 12             Combine the right
16*(12 + x) = 240                   Remove the brackets.
192 + 16x = 240                     Subtract 192 from both sides.
16x = 240 - 192
16x = 48                                 Divide by 16
x = 48 / 16
x = 3

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The​ <u>sample proportion</u>, denoted by  ^p​, is given by the formula ^p=​ \frac{x}{n}, where x is the number of individuals with a specified characteristic in a sample of n individuals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion is used to determine sample mean, sample standard error and test the hypotheses about the population.

<em>sample mean</em> can be stated as p and <em>sample standard error</em> can be found using the equation\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} } where

  • n is the sample size
  • p is the sample proportion

And if n×p×(1-p)≥10, then sample is assumed large enough to assume normal distribution and apply statistical test.

X^2 - 2x = 15 how do I solve this quadratic method?<br>I am stuck on it.... please help<br>​
Anarel [89]

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides

x² - 2x = 15

- 15         -15

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2

because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.

we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²

(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out

FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms

F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²

O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x

I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x

L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15

x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x

x² - 2x - 15

this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
