Answer:

JL = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

From the attached diagram, we can see that

JL : JK = JK: JM

Therefore,

JL/ JK = JK /JM

Where JL = Unknown

JK = 24

JM = 18

JL/ 24 = 24/18

Cross Multiply

24 × 24 = JL × 18

Divide both sides by 18

JL = (24 × 24) /18

JL = 576/18

JL = 32

Answer:

(-18,9)

Step-by-step explanation (work shown in picture attached):

1) The first step in solving by substitution is to isolate the y-term in one of the equations if it is not already isolated. Isolate y in the first equation by dividing both sides by -2. This leaves us with the equation y = \frac{-x}{2}

2) Now, substitute \frac{-x}{2} for the y in the second equation. Simplify and isolate x. (You can multiply everything by -2 to get rid of the fraction.) This leaves us with x = -18.

3) We've found the x-value of the solution, -18. Now, substitute -18 for x back into one of the original equations (I chose the first one because it was simple) and isolate y. This gives us y = 9. Thus, in point form, the answer is (-18,9).

What is the horizontal shift for the graph of f(x) = (x - 3)3 + 2? A. Left 2 B. Right 2 C. Left 3 D. Right 3
jarptica [38.1K]
The graph of the function f(x) = (x - 3)^3 + 2 is 3 units to the right of the parent function.
Hence the horizontal shift is right 3.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

–12i × 3i

Multiply the numbers

-12*3 = -36

Multiply the imaginary number

i*i= i^2

We know i^2 = -1

-36 * -1 = 36
