STVU is an isosceles trapezoid. If SV = 3x - 11 and TU = x + 13, find the value of x

1 answer:

7 0

The given trapezoid will have the sides ST, TV, VU, and US. Each of these can be assigned as base or legs. By this, it can be deduced that the given sides, SV and TU are the diagonals. Because the trapezoid is isosceles, the values of SV and TU should also be equal.

SV = TU
3x - 11 = x + 13

Transpose the terms with x and the constants in each sides of the equation.

3x - x = 13 + 11
2x = 24
<em> x = 12</em>

Thus, the value of x from the equation is 12.

Does anyone know know to do this ?

Rus_ich [418]

He drinks 8 glasses of water in one day. to know the number of glasses he drinks in 365 days, simply use cross multiplication as follows:
number of glasses per year = (365*8)/1 = 2920 glasses
so, yes his assumption is reasonable if he kept the same rate (8 glasses per day each day)

The function f(x)=(x-5)^2 +2 is not one-to-one. Identify a restricted domain that makes the function one-to-one, and find the in

Anon25 [30]

We have been given a quadratic function $f(x)=(x-5)^{2} +2$ and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

We know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

Further, we know that range of this function is $[2,\infty)$ .

If we restrict the domain of this function to either $(-\infty,5]$ or $[5,\infty)$ , it will become one to one function.

Let us know find its inverse.

$y=(x-5)^{2}+2$

Upon interchanging x and y, we get:

$x=(y-5)^{2}+2$

Let us now solve this function for y.

$(y-5)^{2}=x-2\\
y-5=\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\
y=5\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\$

Hence, the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5+\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain of original function to $[5,\infty)$ and the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5-\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain to $(-\infty,5]$ .
