If two triangles are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion. Thus,

AB / AU = BC / UV = AC / AV

AB / (20x+108) = 703 / 444

Where AB is equivalent to:

AB = AU + UB

AB = 20x + 108 + 273

AB = 20x + 381

Therefore going back to the first equation:

(20x + 381) / (20x + 108) = 703/444

444 (20x + 381) = 703 (20x + 108)

8880x + 169164 = 14060x + 75924

14060x - 8880x = 169164 – 75924

5180 x = 93240

x = 93240 / 5180

**PLEASE HELP ASAP** Terri is analyzing a circle, y^2 + x^2 = 36, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
Alborosie
We analyze the linear function to find that it has equation y=x.  Drawing the line, we find that it will intersect the circle at negative and positive x-coordinates.

We can prove this by substituting y=x into the given equation:

x^2+x^2=36

2x^2=36

x^2 = 18

x = \pm 3\sqrt{2}

Hence, x = 3\sqrt{2} or -\sqrt{2}, so there are both positive and negative values for x.

What is the expression for the below sequence (use n)<br><br> -3,-6,-9,-12
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a_{n} = - 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

- 6 - (- 3) = - 9 - (- 6) = - 12 - (- 9) = - 3

This indicate the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 3 and d = - 3 , thus

a_{n} = - 3 - 3(n - 1) = - 3 - 3n + 3 = - 3n

The n th term is - 3n
