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

Rationalize the denominator of square root of negative 49 over open parentheses 7 minus 2 i close parentheses minus open parenth
navik [9.2K]

The answer is the option d, which is: d) \frac{-77+21i}{130}

The explanation for this problem is shown below:

1. Smplify the denominator and rewrite the numerator in this form:

\frac{7i}{7-2i-4-9i} \\\frac{7i}{3-11i}

2. Multiply the denominator and the numerator by the conjugated (3+11i) and simplify the expression, as following:

\frac{7i(3+11i)}{(3-11i)(3+11i)} \\ \frac{21i+77i^{2}}{121+9}  \\ \frac{-77+21i}{130}

3. As you can see, you obtain the expression shown in the option mentioned above.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry and the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of y=4x^2+5x-1
Ivanshal [37]
Answer:

Axis of symmetry: x=-\frac{5}{8}

Vertex: (-\frac{5}{8},-2\frac{9}{16})

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is

y=4x^2+5x-1

By comparing to the general quadratic function; y=ax^2+bx+c

We have a=4,b=5,c=-1

The equation of the axis of symmetry is given by the formula;

x=-\frac{b}{2a}

We got this formula by completing the square on the general quadratic function.

We substitute a=4 and b=5 to obtain;

x=-\frac{5}{2(4)}

x=-\frac{5}{8}
is the axis of symmetry.

To find the y-value of the vertex, we put x=-\frac{5}{8} into the function to obtain;

y=4(-\frac{5}{8})^2+5(-\frac{5}{8})-1

y=4(-\frac{5}{8})^2+5(-\frac{5}{8})-1

y=-\frac{41}{16}

The vertex of the given function is (-\frac{5}{8},-2\frac{9}{16})
