If UT is a midsegment,
SR = 2·UT
7x-1 = 2(3x+1)
We can add 1-6x to solve this
x = 3

Then the length SQ is twice the length of SU.
SQ = 2(2x+2) = 2(2·3+2)
SQ = 16

Which quadratic rule represents the data in the table?

NeX [460]

Since there are already choices in the question, I suggest you just substitute in the values of x to each choice and check whether the corresponding value for y appears. This is also called the trial and error method in multiple choice.

The answer that represents the data in the table is C. <span>y = x^2 – 5.</span>

Satellites KA-1212 and SAL-11 have spotted a UFO. Scientists want to determine its distance from KA-1212 so they can later deter

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The distance of UFO from KA-1212 is 1229.7 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Distance between the satellites = 900 km

Angle made by the satellite KA-1212 = 60°

Angle made by the satellite SAL-11 = 75°

So, from the figure below,

The third angle is given by = 180° - (60°+75°) = 180° - 135° = 45°

Then, using the law of sines, we have,

$\dfrac{x}{\sin 75}=\dfrac{900}{\sin 45}\\\\x=\dfrac{900\times \sin 75}{\sin 45}\\\\x=\dfrac{900\times 0.966}{0.707}\\\\x=\dfrac{869.4}{0.707}\\\\x=1229.7$
