Answer:
D: 2/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually when we talk about a point partitioning a segment, we are interested in the ratio of the first segment to the second:
BC : CD = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
Since this is not an answer choice, we need to "reverse engineer" the answer list to see if we can find an answer that corresponds to a reasonable interpretation of the question.
__
None of the segments is 3 units long, so neither of answer choices A or B makes any sense.
While segment BD is 4 units long, there is no segment that is 1 unit long, so answer choice C makes no sense, either.
There are segments that are 2 units long and a segment that is 4 units long, so if we interpret the question to be "what is the ratio of BC to BD?" then answer choice D is appropriate.
Answer:
x = -7 ±3i
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+7)^2+9=0
Subtract 9 from each side
(x+7)^2+9-9=0-9
(x+7)^2=-9
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+7)^2) = ±sqrt(-9)
We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)
x+7 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(9)
We know that sqrt(-1) is the imaginary number i
x+7 = ±i *3
x+7 =±3i
Subtract 7 from each side
x+7-7 = -7 ±3i
x = -7 ±3i
Answer:
16.17684994
Step-by-step explanation:
First diagonal
x^2 = a^2 + b^2
x^2 = 5^2 + 6^2
x^2 = 61
x ≈ 7.810249676
Second diagonal
x^2 = a^2 + b^2
x^2 = 7.810249676^2 + 3^2
x^2 = 70
x ≈ 8.366600265
Sum of both diagonals
8.366600265 + 7.810249676
= 16.17684994
Answer B. there are any restrictions. You can represent it in any x point
