B is the midpoint of AC and D is the midpoint of CE solve for x given BD = 3x+4 and AE = 5x+19

1 answer:

5 0

It might be helpful to draw a diagram of a line in this case, but you could do this algebraically as well. The midpoint of any segment is basically the average of the two endpoints of the segment. Thus, for example, the midpoint of AC would be the value of A added to the value of C, which is then divided by 2 to get B. You just have to find all of the values for each of the letters, and then find the distance between B and D, for instance, which (the distance) may be represented as a system of equations with the statement of the distance for AE.

Find the center, vertices, and foci for the ellipse 25x^2+64y^2=1600

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Data

Equation 25x² + 64y² = 1600

Process

1.- Divide all the equation by 1600

25x²/1600 + 64y²/ 1600 = 1600/1600

-Simplify

x²/64 + y²/ 25 = 1

2.- Equation of a horizontal ellipse

3.- Find a, b and c

a² = 64 a = 8

b² = 25 b = 5

-Calculate c with the Pythagorean theorem

a² = b² + c²

-Solve for c

c² = a² - b²

-Substitution

c² = 8² - 5²

-Simplification

c² = 64 - 25

c² = 39

-Result

c = √13

4.- Find the center

C = (0, 0)

5.- Find the vertices

V1 = (-8, 0) V2 = (8, 0)

6.- Find the foci

F1 = (-√13, 0) F2 = (√13, 0)

You basically need to set up a porporion:
1.6/2.4 = x/7.2
x=4.8

Solve dis attachment and show all work ( I got it all wrong and I want to know how to solve it )

DedPeter [7]

(a) First find the intersections of $y=e^{2x-x^2}$ and $y=2$ :

$2=e^{2x-x^2}\implies \ln2=2x-x^2\implies x=1\pm\sqrt{1-\ln2}$

So the area of $R$ is given by

$\displaystyle\int_{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\left(e^{2x-x^2}-2\right)\,\mathrm dx$

If you're not familiar with the error function $\mathrm{erf}(x)$ , then you will not be able to find an exact answer. Fortunately, I see this is a question on a calculator based exam, so you can use whatever built-in function you have on your calculator to evaluate the integral. You should get something around 0.5141.

(b) Find the intersections of the line $y=1$ with $y=e^{2x-x^2}$ .

$1=e^{2x-x^2}\implies 0=2x-x^2\implies x=0,x=2$

So the area of $S$ is given by

$\displaystyle\int_0^{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}(2-1)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^2\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)\,\mathrm dx$
$\displaystyle=2\int_0^{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)\,\mathrm dx+\int_{1-\sqrt{1-\ln2}}^{1+\sqrt{1-\ln2}}\mathrm dx$

which is approximately 1.546.

(c) The easiest method for finding the volume of the solid of revolution is via the disk method. Each cross-section of the solid is a circle with radius perpendicular to the x-axis, determined by the vertical distance from the curve $y=e^{2x-x^2}$ and the line $y=1$ , or $e^{2x-x^2}-1$ . The area of any such circle is $\pi$ times the square of its radius. Since the curve intersects the axis of revolution at $x=0$ and $x=2$ , the volume would be given by

$\displaystyle\pi\int_0^2\left(e^{2x-x^2}-1\right)^2\,\mathrm dx$

How many kilometers is it from the main gate to Manatee Springs? (Hint: To convert from

dexar [7]

Answer:

6.04 km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, both triangles form are similar to each other because their corresponding angles are equal, therefore they are equiangular triangles. equiangular triangles have the same shape but different sizes and the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Therefore since their corresponding sides are equal we can calculate the distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs. It is given by:

$\frac{3500\ yards}{2000\ yards} = \frac{4200\ yards}{x}\\ x= \frac{4200\ yard*2000\ yards}{3500\ yards}=2400\ yards$

x = 2400 yards.

The distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs = x + 4200 yards = 2400 + 4200 = 6600 yards

The distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs = 6600 yards = (6600 * 0.0009144) km = 6.04 km

The distance from the main gate to Manatee Springs = 6.04 km

A rectangular vegetable garden will have a width that is 4 feet less than the length, and an area of 140 square feet. If x repre

UNO [17]

Answer:

The length of the garden=14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the garden</em>

length of the garden=x feet

width of the garden=(x-4) feet

<em>Step 2: Determine the area of the garden</em>

Area of the garden=length×width

where;

area=140

length=x

width=x-4

replacing'

x(x-4)=140

x²-4x-140=0, solve the quadratic equation;

x={-b±√(b²-4ac)}/2a

x={4±√4²-4×1×-140}/2×1

x={4±√(16+560)}/2

x={4±√576}/2

x=(4±24)/2

x=(4+24)/2=14, or (4-24)/2=-10, take x=14

The length=14 feet, width=(14-4)=10 feet

The length of the garden=14 feet
