Answer:

The measure of segment AC is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length

- B is the mid point of segment AC

- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length

∴ AB = BC

∵ AC = 5x - 9

∵ AB = 2x

- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length

∴ BC = 2x

∵ AC = AB + BC

- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC

∴ AC = 2x + 2x

∴ AC = 4x

∵ AC = 5x - 9

- Equate the two values of AC

∴ 5x - 9 = 4x

- Add 9 to both sides

∴ 5x = 4x + 9

- Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ x = 9

- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC

∵ AC = 4x

∵ x = 9

∴ AC = 4(9) = 36

* The measure of segment AC is 36 units

12. The geographic grid apportions the globe into hemispheres of 180 lines of longitude. Based on your knowledge of basic geomet
ANEK [815]

Answer:

For the first question, 180 degrees equals to a half of the sphere. For the second question, you need 24 central meridians for a complete sphere, which are exactly the hours in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sphere is basically a 3D circle. As a circle has 360 degrees, 180 degrees would be half of a circle. Imagine you are on a satellite over the north pole or the south pole and you have a way to cut the earth by the middle. You will get two halves of sphere.

About the second question, you may need to have in mind that a day is the time spent for the earth to rotate all 360 degrees over its own axis. British fellow, on XIX century, decided they were the center of the world. As previously, back in the days, some other people decided a day had 24 hours, they decided to draw this lines and divide the earth in 24 pieces, so they could knew which time was on every point their extense kingdom had.  As I said, a circle has 360 degrees, (360 degrees)/(24 hours) equals to 15 degrees.

What is the minimum of the sinusoidal function?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The minimum of the sinusoidal function is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sinusoidal function has an amplitude of 4.

The range of the given sinusoidal function is -4\le y\le 4.

The minimum value is the least y-value of the range which is -4.

The minimum is therefore -4.

Use induction to show that 12 + 22 + 32 + ... + n2 = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6, for all n > 1.
dlinn [17]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(n)=1^2+2^2+3^2+.....+n^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}

Substitute n=2

Then  P(2)=1+2^2=5

P(2)=\frac{2(2+1)(4+1)}{6}=5

Hence, P(n) is true for n=2

Suppose that P(n) is true for n=k >1

P(k)=1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2=\frac{k(k+1)(2k+1)}{6}

Now, we shall prove that p(n) is true for n=k+1

P(k+1)=1^2+2^2+3^2+...+k^2+(k+1)^2=\frac{(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)}{6}

LHS

P(k+1)=1^2+2^2+3^2+.....+k^2+(k+1)^2

Substitute the value of P(k)

P(k+)=\frac{k(k+1)(2k+1)}{6}+(k+1)^2

P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{k(2k+1}{6})+k+1)

P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{2k^2+k+6k+6}{6})

P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{2k^2+7k+6}{6})

P(k+1)=(k+1)(\frac{2k^2+4k+3k+6}{6})

P(k+1)=\frac{(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)}{6}

LHS=RHS

Hence, P(n) is true for all n >1.

Hence, proved
