Answers: 

x = 4
EF = 14
CF = 7
EC = 7

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

C is the midpoint of segment EF. This means that EC = CF. In other words, the two pieces are congruent. 

Use substitution and solve for x
EC = CF
5x-13 = 3x-5
5x-13+13 = 3x-5+13
5x = 3x+8
5x-3x = 3x+8-3x
2x = 8
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4

Now that we know that x = 4, we can use this to find EC and CF

Let's compute EC
EC = 5x - 13
EC = 5*x - 13
EC = 5*4 - 13 ... replace x with 4
EC = 20 - 13
EC = 7

Let's compute CF
CF = 3x - 5
CF = 3*x - 5
CF = 3*4 - 5 ... replace x with 4
CF = 12 - 5
CF = 7

As expected, EC = CF (both are 7 units long).

By the segment addition postulate, we can say EC+CF = EF

EC+CF = EF
EF = EC+CF
EF = 7+7
EF = 14

Scientific notation of 0.000125
tester [92]

Answer:

1.25 × 10^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the decimal until it's at 1.25. You had to go right 4 times so it's negative. If it were 12500 then you'd do it until it was 1.2500 which would be going left so it'd be a positive 4

Mr Hamal had Rs 4,400.He purchased 6 kg of rice at Rs 75 per kg,2packets of oil at Rs 125 per packet and he gave Rs3,300 to his
snow_lady [41]

Answer: Therefore, his son and daughter got Rs 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 kg of rice = 75*6 = Rs 450

2 packets of oil = RS 2*125 = RS 250

now total money he spent = Rs 450 + Rs 250 + Rs Rs 3,300

                                             = Rs 700 + Rs 3,300

                                             = Rs 4000

Money left = Rs 4,400-Rs 4000 = Rs 400

so

400/2 = Rs 200

Find the 11th term of the geometric sequence 1, 4, 16, ...
drek231 [11]

Answer:

a(11) = 4^10 = 1048576

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of this geometric sequence, a(1), is 1, and the common ratio, r, is 4.  Each new term is 4 times the previous term.  Thus,

a(n) = 1*4^(n - 1), and

a(11) = 4^10 = 1048576
