Hello,
The longer diagonal is an axis of symmetry of the Kite.
So E is the middle of BD and BE=8/2=4

Answer A: 4in.

On a given day, 36 of the 445 students in a school were absent. What was the appproximate absentee rate that day?

Nata [24]

Answer: The approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students who were absent = 36

Total number of students = 445

We need to find the approximate absentee rate that day :

Rate of absentee of that day would be

$\dfrac{\text{Number of absentee}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{36}{445}\times 100\\\\=8.09\%$

Hence, the approximate absentee rate that day would be 8.09%.

What is the solution to sqrt 17-x=x+3? Show your work.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember:

$(\sqrt[n]{a})^n=a\\\\(a+b)=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Given the equation $\sqrt{17-x}=x+3$ , you need to solve for the variable "x" to find its value.

You need to square both sides of the equation:

$(\sqrt{17-x})^2=(x+3)^2$

$17-x=(x+3)^2$

Simplifying, you get:

$17-x=x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2\\\\17-x=x^2+6x+9\\\\x^2+6x+9+x-17=0\\\\x^2+7x-8=0$

Factor the quadratic equation. Find two numbers whose sum be 7 and whose product be -8. These are: -1 and 8:

$(x-1)(x+8)=0$

Then:

$x_1=1\\x_2=-8$

Let's check if the first solution is correct:

$\sqrt{17-(1)}=(1)+3$

$4=4$ (It checks)

Let's check if the second solution is correct:

$\sqrt{17-(-8)}=(-8)+3$

$5\neq-5$ (It does not checks)

Therefore, the solution is:

$x=1$

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel<br> to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

olganol [36]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

<u>1) Determine the slope of the parallel line</u>

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

I hope this helps!

Can someone help me please

It's a reflection across the x axis, so the y intercept won't change (12)

f (x) = 3x + 12
|
\/
g(x) = -3x + 12

I MAY BE WRONG IM ONLY 80% SURE
