Answer:

Length of AB = 6 cm

Length of the segment BC = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, B is a point on a segment AC.

AB : BC = 3:7

Length of the segment AC = 20 cm

Now, let the common ratio between the segment is x.

So, the length of AB = 3 x , and Length of BC = 7 x

Now, AB + BC = AC

⇒ 3x + 7x = 20

or, 10 x = 20

or, x = 2

Hence, the length of AB = 3 x = 3 x 2 = 6 cm

and the length of the segment BC = 7x = 7 x 2 = 14 cm

What is the solution set of [1/x-2]<-2

slavikrds [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 \div (x - 2) + 2 < 0$

$(1 + 2x - 4) \div ( x- 2) < 0$

$(2x - 3) \div (x - 2) < 0$

Hence

You have to put:

$2x - 3 > 0$

And

$x - 2 > 0$

Which results in:

$x > 3 \div 2$

And

$x > 2$

The solution is:

$3 \div 2 < x < 2$

150 times

out of the first 5 cards, there is a 3/5 chance of drawing a yellow.
if you replace the card and draw again, you still have a 3/5 chance of drawing a yellow card.
keep doing this process for 250 draws, each draw will always have 3/5 chance of drawing a yellow card.

so 3/5 +3/5 +3/5 +... (250 times) = 250 x 3/5 = 150

so you are going to use the Pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle to find the connecting side's length

${5}^{2} = {3}^{2} ( {b}^{2} ) \\ b = 4$
