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 critical numbers of the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE
Viktor [21]

Answer:

<h2> (2, -1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 8x³ − 12x² − 48x, <em>the critical point of the function occurs at its turning point i,e at f'(x) = 0</em>

First we have to differentiate the function as shown;

f'(x)= 3(8)x^{3-1}- 2(12)x^{2-1} - 48x^{1-1}\\  \\f'(x) = 24x^2 - 24x-48x^0\\\\f'(x) = 24x^2 - 24x-48\\\\At \ the\turning\ point\ f'(x)= 0\\24x^2 - 24x-48 = 0\\\\\\

Dividing \ through \ by \ 24\\\\x^2-x-2 = 0\\\\On \ factorizing\\\\x^2-2x+x-2 = 0\\\\x(x-2)+1(x-2) = 0\\\\(x-2)(x+1) = 0\\\\x-2 = 0 \ and \ x+1 = 0\\\\x = 2 \ and \ -1

Hence the critical numbers of the function are (2, -1)

-5x-y= 8<br> -4x+y=2 solve the system
yan [13]

\huge\fcolorbox{blue}{aqua}{Answer:}

═════════════════════

1.- 5x - y = 8

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

-5x-y=8

-5x=8+y

-5x=y+8

\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{y+8}{-5}

x=\frac{y+8}{-5}

x=\frac{-y-8}{5}

<h3>Solve for y</h3>

-5x-y=8

-y=8+5x

-y=5x+8

\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{5x+8}{-1}

y=\frac{5x+8}{-1}

y=-5x-8

────────────────────

2.-4x-y=2

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

-4x-y=2

-4x=2+y

-4x=y+2

\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{y+2}{-4}

x=\frac{y+2}{-4}

x=-\frac{y}{4}-\frac{1}{2}

<h3>Solve for y</h3>

-4x-y=2

-y=2+4x

-y=4x+2

\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{4x+2}{-1}

y=\frac{4x+2}{-1}

y=-4x-2
