J is the midpoint of HK¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ . What are HJ, JK, and HK?

Mathematics

lana [24]3 years ago

Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.

1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3

2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2 
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25

JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25

3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

-----

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50

How to show work on (-41)+(14)=
sergij07 [2.7K]
It is hard to show work for this problem because it very similar to a basic addition or subtraction problem.
Just so you have the answer and how to solve. -27 is the answer. Think about it like 41-14 then add the negative back. But I would strongly suggest not writing that as work because you teacher might get confused about what you are doing

The appropriate descriptors of geometric sequences are ...

... B) Geometric sequences have a common ratio between terms.

... D) Geometric sequences are restricted to the domain of natural numbers.

_____

The sequences may increase, decrease, or alternate between increasing and decreasing.

If the first term is zero, then all terms are zero—not a very interesting sequence. Since division by zero is undefined, the common ration of such a sequence would be undefined.

There are some sequences that have a common difference between particular pairs of terms. However, a sequence that has the same difference between all adjacent pairs of terms is called an <em>arithmetic sequence</em>, not a geometric sequence.

Any sequence has terms numbered by the counting numbers: term 1, term 2, term 3, and so on. Hence the domain is those natural numbers. The relation describing a geometric sequence is an exponential relation. It can be evaluated for values of the independent variable that are not natural numbers, but now we're talking exponential function, not geometric sequence.
