DF =DE + EF
4x-8 = x-4 + 2x+5
4x - 8 = 3x + 1
4x - 3x = 1 + 8
x = 9

Answer: The required value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point E is between the points D and F.

Also, DE = x - 4, EF = 2x + 5 and DF = 4x - 8.

We are to find the value of x.

Since the point E lies between the points D and F, so we must have

$DE+EF=DF\\\\\Rightarrow (x-4)+(2x+5)=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+1=4x-8\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=1+8\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.$

Thus, the required value of x is 9.

The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (-2, 1). (-3, 3), (-1, 5), (2, 4), and (2, 1). What is the perimeter of the pol

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$15.2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Plot the vertices of the polygon to better understand the problem

we have

$A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5), D(2, 4),E(2, 1)$

using a graphing tool

The polygon is a pentagon (the number of sides is 5)

see the attached figure

The perimeter is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 2

<em>Find the distance AB</em>

$A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(-3+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{5}=2.24\ units$

step 3

<em>Find the distance BC</em>

$B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+(-1+3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d_B_C=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ units$

step 4

<em>Find the distance CD</em>

$C(-1, 5), D(2, 4)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-5)^{2}+(2+1)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d_C_D=\sqrt{10}=3.16\ units$

step 5

<em>Find the distance DE</em>

$D(2, 4),E(2, 1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$d_D_E=\sqrt{9}\ units$

$d_D_E=3\ units$

step 6

<em>Find the distance AE</em>

$A(-2, 1).E(2, 1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d_A_E=\sqrt{16}\ units$

$d_A_E=4\ units$

step 7

Find the perimeter

$P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE$

substitute the values

$P=2.24+2.83+3.16+3+4=15.23\ units$

Round to the nearest tenth of a unit

$P=15.2\ units$

Need help with trig question

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0 +256i

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Euler's formula, ...

(4 cis π/8)^4 = (4^4) cis (4×π/8) = 256 cis π/2 = 0 +256i

_____

"cis" is an abbreviation sometimes used for "cosine + i×sine". It simplifies writing the expression. Engineers sometimes simplify it further, writing 4∠(π/8) for the expression in this problem statement.
