What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrew [12]4 years ago
7 0
<h3>Answer:</h3>

x = 25

<h3>Solution:</h3>

\frac{40}{40+24} = \frac{x}{x +15} \\ \frac{40}{64} = \frac{x}{x +15} \\ \frac{5}{8} = \frac{x}{x +15} \\ 5(x +15) = 8x \\ 5x +75 = 8x \\ 75 = 3x \\ 25 = x

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Angle BDR is congruent to angle QDC because they share common angles. Angles BRD and QCD are congruent because lines BR and QC are <em>parallel</em> and line DR intersecting them creates <em>two corresponding angles</em>, BRD and QCD. Because of the reasons I mentioned, Triangles DBR and DQC are similar by Angle Angle Similarity Postulate and because these two triangles are similar they must share the same scaling factor of corresponding sides (example: \frac{DQ}{DB}\\). So \frac{DQ}{DB} = \frac{DC}{DR}\\.

In which direction does the right side of this graph point? F(x)=3x^4-x^2+4x-2
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Positive direction (Up) \uparrow

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=3x^4-x^2+4x-2

The degree of this polynomial is even.

The leading coefficient is positive 3.

The polynomial will <em>rise </em>\uparrow on the left and <em>rise </em>\uparrowon the right.

Therefore the right side of the graph of f(x)=3x^4-x^2+4x-2 points in the positive direction of the y-axis.
