I agree with you on this problem. It is A. If that is the final answer, the negative exponent must be flipped in order to be positive. According to the equation, it is not positive so it is not a simpflied polynomial.
Answer:
About 8
Step-by-step explanation:
I found this by doing 16 divided by 2 since half of 16 is 8and AC and OC are congruent so I think it is 8.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The corresponding segments are proportional, so you can write any of several equations relating the different segment lengths. Here's one way:
top segment/bottom segment = x/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
Multiply by the product of denominators:
(x +1)x = (x +5)(x -2)
x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10 -x -x² to both sides of the equation
5 = x . . . . . divide by 2
