Please help as soon as possible! Kia's plant is 8 1/5 inches tall and is growing 2/3 of an inch each week. Lyric's plant is 10 7

/10 inches tall and is growing 1/6 inch each week. Write and solve an equation to find how many weeks it will take for the height of the two plants to be the same.
Equation:___________

Solution:___________

I know I'm using y=mx+b but how would I write out my answer and I'm just confused on how I'd solve this.

To find the answer, you find out the height of the plants for each week until they're the same.

Equation: Growth × Week + Original Height

For Kia: 2/3w + 8 1/5
For Lyric: 1/6w + 10 7/10
Kia:
Week 0 = 8 1/5 in.
Week 1 = 8 13/15 in.
Week 2 = 9 8/15 in.
Week 3 = 10 1/5 in.
Week 4 = 10 13/15 in.
Week 5 = 11 8/15 in.

Lyric:
Week 0 = 10 7/10 in.
Week 1 = 10 13/15 in.
Week 2 = 11 1/30 in.
Week 3 = 11 1/5 in.
Week 4 = 11 11/30 in.
Week 5 = 11 8/15 in.

Solution: 5 Weeks

Let

P=(P_x,P_y),\quad Q=(Q_x,Q_y)

If M is the midpoint, the x and y coordinates of M are the average of the x and y coordinates of P and Q:

M=\left(\dfrac{P_x+Q_x}{2},\ \dfrac{P_y+Q_y}{2}\right)

We can solve this expression for the coordinates of Q:

M_x = \dfrac{P_x+Q_x}{2} \implies Q_x = 2M_x-P_x

M_y = \dfrac{P_y+Q_y}{2} \implies Q_y = 2M_y-P_y

Plug in the values for the coordinates of M and P to get

Q_x = 2M_x-P_x = 2\cdot 5-11 = 10-11=-1

Q_y = 2M_y-P_y = 2\cdot (-2) - (-10) = -4+10=6

An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 6 cm and 5 cm long. A second side of the
sveticcg [70]
<span>Based in the information given in the problem, you must apply the The Angle Bisector Theorem. Let's call the triangle: "ABC"; the internal bisector of the angle that divides its opposite side: "AP"; and "x": the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle.

 If BP= 6 cm and CP= 5 cm, we have:

 BP/CP = AB/AC

 We don't know if second side of the triangle (6.9 centimeters long) is AB or AC, so:

 1. If AB = 6.9 cm and AC = x:
 6/5 = 6.9/x
 x = (5x6.9)/6
 x = 5.80 cm

 2. If AC= 6.9 cm and AB= x:
 6/5 = x/6.9
 x = 6.9x6/5
 x = 8.30 cm

 Then, the answer is: 
 The longest possible length of the third side of the triangle is 8.30 cm and the and shortest length of it is 5.80 cm.</span>

If DGH ~ DEF, Find the value of X
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

DGH ~ DEF ---> given problem

Remember that

If two triangles are similar, then the rtio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

\frac{DG}{DE}=\frac{GH}{EF}

substitute the given values

\frac{52}{91}=\frac{x+3}{2x-1}

(2x-1)52=(x+3)91\\104x-52=91x+273\\104x-91x=273+52\\13x=325\\x=25

What is the minimum value for h(x)=x2−16x+60?
Mila [183]
Minimum value is equal to x=8, y=-4First find the derivative of the original equation which equals= d/dx(x^2-16x+60) = 2x - 16at x=8, f'(x), the derivative of x equals zero, so therefore, at point x = 8, we have a minimum value.Just plug in 8 to the original equation to find the answer for the minimum value.
