If B is the midpoint of AC, that means the the line segments connecting the endpoints to the midpoints are the same length, or: AB = BC. With that in mind, we can set their lengths equal to each other:

x + 5 = 2x - 11

From there, simply solve for x and input that result back into the expression for AB (x + 5) and you’ll have your result.

What function is graphed below?
tester [92]
The answer for the exercise shown above is the first option, which is:
<span> f(x)=log(x-3) 
 The explanation is shown below:
 If you substitute the x in the function for values, you will obtain the graph attached above. As you can see on the mentioned graph, when the variable x has the value 4, the value y is 0. Therefore, you have:
 </span> f(x)=log(x-3) 
  f(x)=log(4-3) 
  f(x)=log(1)
  f(x)=0<span>

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A 12-foot ladder is leaning across a fence and is touching a higher wall located 3 feet behind the fence. The ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.

 ladder is 12 foot

The ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground.

It form a right angle triangle . ladder is the hypotenuse

cos(60)=\frac{x}{12}

0.5= \frac{x}{12}

multiply 12 on both sides

x= 6

the distance from the base of the ladder to the bottom of the fence

x-3 = 6-3=3 feet

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at
baherus [9]
Since each share was purchased when it was still quoted at 20 1/4, then when the stock value increases, it gains (25 1/4 - 20 1/4) = $5.00 for each stock. Since you're to sell 30 shares of your stock, that means you'll be making a profit of (30 x 5 ) = $150.00. Thus, the answer is C<span>.</span>
