Answer:

Option C. $26\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles ADE and ABC are similar by AA similarity postulate

AB=2AD

Apply proportion

$\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{AD}{2AD}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\12x+4=16x-12\\ \\16x-12x=4+12\\ \\4x=16\\ \\x=4\ units$

Find the length of segment DE

$DE=8x-6=8(4)-6=26\ units$

What is the completely factored form of d4 − 81?

lilavasa [31]

For this case we must factor the following expression:

$d ^ 4-81$

Rewriting the expression:

$(d ^ 2) ^ 2-9 ^ 2$

We factor using the formula of the square difference:

$a ^ 2-b ^ 2 = (a + b) (a-b)$

Where:

$a = d ^ 2\\b = 9$

So:

$(d ^ 2 + 9) (d ^ 2-9)$

From the second term we have:

$d ^ 2-3 ^ 2 = (d-3) (d + 3)$

Finally, the factored expression is:

$(d ^ 2 + 9) (d-3) (d + 3)$

Answer:

$(d ^ 2 + 9) (d-3) (d + 3)$
