Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-36}{x+6}= \\\\\\\dfrac{(x-6)(x+6)}{x+6}= \\\\\\(x-6) \\\\\\f(-6)=((-6)-6)=-12$

Therefore, the correct answer is choice A. Hope this helps!

Answer:

=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x^2-36)/(x+6)

Factor the numerator. The numerator is the difference of squares

(a^2 -b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

f(x) = (x-6)(x+6)/(x+6)

Cancel the like terms

f(x) = x-6

f(-6) = -6-6

= -12

In a parallelogram ABCD point K belongs to diagonal BD so that BK:DK=1:4. If the extension of AK meets BC at point E, what is th

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{BE}{EC} =\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the diagram below we have

ABCD is a parallelogram. K is the point on diagonal BD, such that

$\frac{BK}{CK} =\frac{1}{4}$

And AK meets BC at E

now in Δ AKD and Δ BKE

∠AKD =∠BKE ( vertically opposite angles are equal)

since BC ║ AD and BD is transversal

∠ADK = ∠KBE ( alternate interior angles are equal )

By angle angle (AA) similarity theorem

Δ ADK and Δ EBK are similar

so we have

$\frac{AD}{BE} =\frac{DK}{BK}$

$\frac{AD}{BE} =\frac{4}{1}$

$\frac{BC}{BE}=\frac{4}{1}$ ( ABCD is parallelogram so AD=BC)

$\frac{BE+EC}{BE}=\frac{4}{1}$ ( BC= BE+EC)

$\frac{BE}{BE} +\frac{EC}{BE}=\frac{4}{1}$

$1+\frac{EC}{BE}=4$

$\frac{EC}{BE}=3$ ( subtracting 1 from both side )

$\frac{EC}{BE}=\frac{3}{1}$

taking reciprocal both side

$\frac{BE}{EC} =\frac{1}{3}$

Is flipping 2 coins dependent?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping two coins is independent because the outcome of the first coin doesn't affect the outcome of the second coin. There is still a 1/2 chance of of getting heads or tails.
