Which statement BEST describes a parallelogram with coordinates A (-1, 0), B (-4, 5), C (1, 8) and D (4, 3)? A. The diagonals ar

e congruent which means the quadrilateral is a rectangle. B. The diagonals are perpendicular which means the quadrilateral is a rhombus. C. The diagonals are both congruent and perpendicular which means the quadrilateral is a square. D. The diagonals are neither congruent nor perpendicular, which means the quadrilateral is a parallelogram only.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

D.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The representation of this problem is shown below. To find the answer, we need to use the distance formula:

The \ \mathbf{distance} \ d \ between \ the \ \mathbf{points} \ (x_{1},y_{1}) \ and \ (x_{2},y_{2}) \ in \ the \ plane \ is:\\ \\ d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

  • The first diagonal is formed by the points A and C
  • The second diagonal is formed by the points B and D

So, for the first diagonal:

A(x_{1},y_{1})=A(-1,10) \\ \\ C(x_{2},y_{2})=C(1,8) \\ \\ \\ d_{1}=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2} \\ \\ d_{1}=\sqrt{[1-(-1)]^2+(8-10)^2}=2\sqrt{2}

For the second diagonal:

B(x_{1},y_{1})=B(-4,5) \\ \\ D(x_{2},y_{2})=D(4,3) \\ \\ \\ d_{2}=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2} \\ \\ d_{2}=\sqrt{[4-(-4)]^2+(3-5)^2}=2\sqrt{17}

So the diagonals aren't congruent. Are they perpendicular?

\vec{AC}=(1,8)-(-1,10)=(2,-2) \\ \\ \vec{BD}=(4,3)-(-4,5)=(8,-2)

These two vectors will be perpendicular (hence the diagonals will be perpendicular) if and only if the dot product equals zero, so:

(2,-2).(8,-2)=2(8)+(-2)(-2)=20\neq 0

Thus, the diagonals aren't perpendicular. In conclusion:

<h3>D. The diagonals are neither congruent nor perpendicular, which means the quadrilateral is a parallelogram only.</h3>

How do you simply -12x=12x into an x='s answer?
dedylja [7]

-12x = 12x

Start by moving all the terms with the variable you want to solve for on one side of the equation and the rest on the other side of the equation.

We will move 12x to the left side of the equation by subtracting 12x from both sides. Now your equation should look like:

-24x = 0

Isolate the variable x by dividing both sides by -24. Everything divided by 0 is equal to 0, so that means x will be equal to 0.

x = 0

Your answer is x = 0.

find five solutions of the equation y=20x. select integers for values for x starting with -2 and ending with 2
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

-440, -4440, -44440, -444440, -4444440

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find values for x which start is a -2 and end with a 2.

-22

-222

-2222

-22222

-222222

Now we can find the y value by multiplying each term by 20.

-22 --> -440

-222 --> -4440

-2222 --> -44440

-22222 --> -444440

-222222 --> -4444440

3+5i/-2+3i perform operation
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

\dfrac{9}{13}-\dfrac{19}{13}i

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember i^2=-1

You are given the fraction \dfrac{3+5i}{-2+3i}

First, multiply the numerator and the denominator by -2-3i:

\dfrac{3+5i}{-2+3i}=\dfrac{(3+5i)(-2-3i)}{(-2+3i)(-2-3i)}=\dfrac{(3+5i)(-2-3i)}{(-2)^2-(3i)^2}=\dfrac{(3+5i)(-2-3i)}{4-9i^2}=\dfrac{(3+5i)(-2-3i)}{4+9}

This gives you 13 in denominator, now multiply two complex numbers in numerator:

(3+5i)(-2-3i)=-6-9i-10i-15i^2=-6-19i+15=9-19i

Thus, the initial fraction is

\dfrac{9-19i}{13}=\dfrac{9}{13}-\dfrac{19}{13}i

Write and simplify the integral that gives the arc length of the following curve on the given interval b. If necessary, use tech
LiRa [457]

Answer:

L = 4.103

Step-by-step explanation:

we have length of curve

L = \int\limits^b_a {\sqrt{(f'(x))²+1} } \, dx

where f(x) = d/dx(3*in(x)) = 3/x

substituting for f(x), we have L = \int\limits^5_2 {\sqrt{(3/x)²+1} } \, dx

(since the limit is 2≤ x ≤5)

solving,  L = \int\limits^5_2 {\sqrt{9/x²+1} } \, dx

Simplifying this integral, we have

L = 4.10321
