Answer: x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. (i)
Here in parallelogram ABCD , AC and Bd are diagonals intersecting at E.
BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6
Using (i)
Now , AE = 4(7)-6 = 28-6 = 22
AC =2 AE = 2 (22) =44 units.
Hence, x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.
Answer:
x = - 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sketch represents
y = x² + bx + c
The graph crosses the y- axis at (0 , - 14), thus c = - 14
y = x² + bx - 14
Given the graph crosses the x- axis at (2, 0), then
0 = 2² + 2b - 14
0 = 4 + 2b - 14 = 2b - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )
10 = 2b ( divide both sides by 2 )
b = 5
y = x² + 5x - 14 ← represents the graph
let y = 0 , then
x² + 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
The x- intercepts are x = - 7 and x = 2
The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is midway between the x- intercepts, thus
the x- coordinate of the turning point is =
= - 2.5
