In parallelogram ABCD, AE=x^2-6 and CE=5x what is the value of x ? What is AC?

Mathematics

lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, hence

AE = EC, that is

x² - 6 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

However x > 0 ⇒ x = 6

AC = x² - 6 + 5x = 6² - 6 + 5(6) = 36 - 6 + 30 = 60

Georgia [21]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "C. f(n) = 0.15n + 0.35." The equation that represents Marisa’s library fine as a function of a book that is n days overdue is f(n) = 0.15n + 0.35

Here are the following choices:
A. f(n) = 0.15n
<span>B. f(n) = 0.50n
</span><span>C. f(n) = 0.15n + 0.35
</span>D. f(n) = 0.50n + 0.15

weqwewe [10]

Answer: The rock would still weigh 90lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

No, weight has being proven to reduce by the further you move from the center of the Earth. But since even the tallest buildings in the world or tallest mountains are a tiny fraction of the Earth’s radius, the difference in weight won’t be something that can be measured as it’s a tiny fraction. So the mass of the rock doesn’t change what changes is the gravitational force ( g ). So the rock would still end up weighing 90lbs even at the top of the tower because it is still within the earths atmosphere.
