<span>The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
So we just equate the two equations BE and DE
2x^2 - x = x^2 + 6
2x^2 - x - x^2 - 6 = 0
x^2 - x - 6 = 0
This is quadratic eqn. So we obtain.
(x - 3) ( x + 2) = 0
Setting each to 0 and solving for x, we have that x = 3 and x = -2
So we have two possible values for BD.
But Since BE = DE then we can simply double each
If x = 3 BD = 2 (2(3)^2 - 3) = 2 ( 18 - 3) = 30 units
If x = - 2 BD = 2((-2)^2 -3 ) = 2 (8 - 3) = 10 units</span>
Answer:
4x+13
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms -2x and 6x to get 4 then combine 9 and 4 to get 13
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The reflection preserves the side lengths and angles of triangle ABC. The dilation preserves angles but not side lengths.
All three series converge, so the answer is D.
The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.
Consider a geometric sequence with the first term <em>a</em> and common ratio |<em>r</em>| < 1. Then the <em>n</em>-th partial sum (the sum of the first <em>n</em> terms) of the sequence is

Multiply both sides by <em>r</em> :

Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:

Solve for
:

Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term
will converge to 0, leaving us with

So the given series converge to
(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10
(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1
(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18
