10, 5, 20, 10, 40, 20, 80, 40, 160, 80,
Next Three Numbers: 20, 80, 40
Pattern: Take half of the first term. 1/2 of 10 = 5 which is the second term.
Next, multiply the second term by 4. 5 times 4 = 20
Divide 20 by 4 to get 10
Multiply 10 by 4 to get 40
---------------
Take half of 40 to get 20 (the first of the three missing terms)
Multiply 20 by 4 to get 80 (the second missing term)
Multiply 80 by 1/2 to get 40 (the third missing term)
Well if there were 3 to stop and the other 9 to stop then its gonna be the 5th stop for other passengers to get off. Therefore, its B
Answer:
6) x=9.75
10) Triangle OMN ~ Triangle ODK; SSS ~
11) SSS ~ theorem
12) SSS ~ theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
For #6, since the polygons are similar, then it must mean AD is congruent to JM and CD is congruent to LM. Now we can set up the proportion 39/20=x/5 and solve. Solving for x gets us x=9.75, so C is the correct choice
For #10, there's no information about angles whatsoever in the diagram, so B and C must be wrong. D must be wrong as well because if the triangles weren't similar, then why is OJ ~ JM and OK ~ KN? So thus, the triangles are similar by SSS.
For #11, this is sort of a no-brainer because there's no mention of angles, so D must be correct.
For #12, same concept, no mention of angles, all sides are similar to their respective sides of the different triangles, so A is correct.
Whether dividing constant terms or polynomials, we always have definitive terms when it comes to division. Suppose we say, 10x divided by 2. The dividend is the 10x and the divisor is the 2. In other words, the dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor, to obtain the answer called the quotient.
When dividing polynomials, your main goal is to be able to divide the dividend evenly into the <em>divisor</em>. For example, we divide x²+2x+1 by x+1. The first thing you're going to focus is, what term will completely divide the first term of the polynomial? That would be x. Why? Because when you multiply x with x+1, the product is x²+x. When you subtract this from the polynomial, the x² will cancel out. All you have to do is subtract x from 2x, yielding x. Then, you carry down the last term of the equation: +1. You do the steps again. The term that will completely divide x+1 by x+1 is 1. When you subtract the two, you will come up with zero. That means there is no remainder. The polynomial is divisible by the divisor.
