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

Over the last three evenings, Debra received a total of 110 phone calls at the call center. The second evening, she received 4 t
Elza [17]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 110

Let calls on third evening = x

second evening = 4x

first evening = x + 8

=> x + 4x + x + 8 = 110

=> 6x = 102

=> x = 17

First evening = x = 17 calls

Second evening = 4x = 68 calls

Third evening = x + 8 = 25 calls

Change the equation of the circle x^2+14x+y^2-10y=14x 2 + 14 x + y 2 − 10 y = 14 into center-radius form of a circle.
jonny [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is      (x + 7)² + (y - 5)² = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

                     x²  +  14x  +  y²  - 10y   =  14

Complete perfect trinomial squares

                     x² + 14x + (7)² + y² - 10y + (5)² = 14 + (7)² + (5)²

Simplify

                     x² + 14x + (7)² + y² - 10y + (5)² = 14 + 49 + 25

                     x² + 14x + (7)² + y² - 10y + (5)² = 88

Factor

                     (x + 7)² + (y - 5)² = 88   This is the equation in the form

                     center-radius

Suppose you have three consecutive integers.The greatest of the three integers is twice as great as the sum of the first two.Wha
vredina [299]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since there are three consecutive integers, you have the equations

x, x+1, x+2 where x is the smallest number.

The greatest of the three integers= x+2

Finish setting up your equation;

2(x+x+1)=x+2

Combine like terms;

2(2x+1)=x+2

Distribute;

4x+2=x+2

3x=0

x=0

x+1=1

x+2=2

Hope this helps:) Have a good day!
