Answer:

The length of AC is either 10 units or 40 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that parallelogram ABCD and diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

According to the property of parallelogram, the diagonals are intersecting each other at their midpoint.

AE=CE

2x^2-3x=x^2+4

2x^2-3x-x^2-4=0

x^2-3x-4=0

x^2-4x+x-4=0

x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(x-4)(x+1)=0

By zero product property, equate each factor equal to 0. So the value of x is 4 and -1.

AC=2CE

AC=2(x^2+4)

Let he value of x=4.

AC=2(4^2+4)

AC=2(20)

AC=40

Therefore the length of AC is 40.

Let he value of x=-1.

AC=2((-1)^2+4)

AC=2(5)

AC=10

Therefore the length of AC is 10.

If the diagonals of the parallelogram intersect with each other, this means that the diagonals bisect each other. Thus,

    AE = CE

Substituting the equations,

  2x² - 3x = x² + 4

The values of x from the equation are equal to 4 and -1. 

  AE = 2(4)² - 3(4) = 20

Hence, AC is equal to 40. 

Answer: 40 units

A customer works into a post office to purchase stamps. she purchases a total of 45 stamps. some of the stamps are 49cent stamps
baherus [9]

Step-by-step explanation:Let number of 49 cents =A

                                             Let number of 33 cents=B

<u>A+B=45    equation 1</u>

1 $=100 cents

49 cents =.49 dollar

33 cents=.33 dollar

so .<u>49A+.33B=17.89    equation 2</u>

Add equation 1 and equation 2

since these are simultaneous equations

.49A+.33B=17.89

     A+     B=45

so divide equation 2 by 100 we get

49A+33B=1789

    A+B     =45 multiply equation 1 by 33 on both the sides we get

<u>33A+33B=1485     equation 3</u>

so subtract equation 3 from equation 2 we get

49A+33B=1789  equation 2

<u>33A+33B=1485    equation 3</u>

<u>16A+0      =304</u>

16A=304

A=304/16

A=19

putting nalue of A in equation 1 we get

A+B=45

19+B=45

B=45-19

B=26

so number of 49 cent stamps are 19

and number of 33 cent stamps are 26

Stop and Shop has the better deal, as it is 0.24 cents for each apple if you divide 0.96 by 4, while Path Mark is 0.25 cents.
