Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DY is parallel to FS, this means we have two parallel lines with a transversal (FJ).   This makes ∠JDY and ∠JFS corresponding angles, which makes them congruent.  ∠J ≅ ∠J by the reflexive property.  Since we now have two corresponding angles congruent in the two triangles, and we know that all triangles have a sum of 180°, this means the third corresponding angles must be congruent as well.  Since all three angles are congruent in both triangles, the triangles are similar.

This means that the sides are proportional; this tells us that the ratio of DJ to JY will be the same as the ratio of FJ to JS.

The ratio of DJ to JY is

50/42.

The ratio of FJ to JS is (x+50)/(42+63).  This gives us the proportion

50/42 = (x+50)/(42+63)

50/42 = (x+50)/105

Cross multiplying, we have

50(105) = 42(x+50)

5250 = 42(x+50)

Using the distributive property, we have

5250 = 42(x)+42(50)

5250 = 42x+2100

Subtracting 2100 from each side,

5250-2100 = 42x+2100-2100

3150 = 42x

Divide both sides by 42:

3150/42 = 42x/42

75 = x

Find the common fraction equivalent to 0.12
jonny [76]
The answer is:  " \frac{4}{33} "  .
______________________________
Given:  0.1212121212..... repeating ;  write that value as a fraction;
______________________________________________________
In other words; we are given:  "0.1212121212..... repeating infinitely" ;  

→ that is to say; "0.12 ...  ;  {the "12" decimal portion repeats infinitely} ; 
_______________________________________________________
→ We write this value, as a fraction, as:  "12/99" ;
__________________________________________
→Explanation:
__________________________________________ 


Note:  "0.99999999...... repeating infinitely;  =  "1" .
_________________________________________
→Since:

Let us say that we have: 

"x = 0.999999 ; repeating infinitely;  

In order words, let us say we have: "x = 0.9.... ;  the "9" decimal repeats infinitely; 
_____________________________________________________
   Then "10x" ;  (that is: "10" multlipled by "x";  or "10*x" or "10x" );  is equal to:

"10" * (0.999999.....)  = 9.99999999...... (the "9" decimal repeats infinitely);

in other words:  10x = 9.99999999....

Divide each side by "10" ;

to get "x = 0.9999999....." ; the decimal "9" repeats indefinitely...." ;

But if you have:  "10x = 10" ;  divide each side of the equation by "10" ; 
   you get: "x = 1" . 
____________________
Also,  if "x = 0.9999...(repeating infinitely); 

then:  10x = 9.99999.
_______________________________________________
           10x  =  9.999999999999999......
       −     x  =  0.999999999999999.......
    _____________________________________
            9x  =  9.00000000000000000000.....

 →  9x = 9 ; 

Divide each side of the equation; to get; 

 9x /9 = 9/ 9 ;  to get:  x = 1 ; and we have: x = 0.9999.... ;  so
  x= 0.99999.... = 1 ; 
__________________________________________________
So, if the numbers "12" is repeating, we divie "12" by "99" ; 
  that is; we divide "12" by "two 9's" ;  since "12" is a "TWO-digit number"; a "two-digit number" is being repeated infinitely.
________________________________________
            So;  0.12121212.....(the "12" is the decimal that repeats infinitely);            
                   
=  12/99 ;  which can be simplified;

Divide each side (both the numerator AND the denominator); by "3" ;
_________________________________________
  " 12/99 "  =  "(12÷3) / (99÷3) = 4/33 " .
_________________________________________
The answer is:  \frac{4}{33}  .

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

the table:

x | y

-2 | 5

-1 | 3

0 |  1

1  | 3

2 | 5

for the graph: go up from the middle point, then right then up by two and repeat on the other side as well, should look something like this

<h2> ( up one, go left, up 2)  ∨  (up one, go right up two)</h2>

Find derivative of the following problem ?
stepan [7]
Let u = x.lnx, , w= x and t = lnx;  w' =1 ;  t' = 1/x

f(x) = e^(x.lnx) ; f(u) = e^(u); f'(u) = u'.e^(u)

let' find the  derivative u' of u
u = w.t
u'=  w't + t'w;  u' = lnx + x/x = lnx+1

u' = x+1 and f'(u) = ln(x+1).e^(xlnx)

finally the derivative of f(x) =ln(x+1).e^(x.lnx) + 2x
