Answer:

-2, 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

6x²+11x=2

6x²+11x-2=0

Delta=11²-4×6×(-2)=121+48=169

x1,2=(-11 +- sqrt(169))/(2×6)=

(-11 +- 13)/12

x1=(-11+13)/12=2/12=1/6

x2=(-11-13)/12=-24/12=-2

If CDE ~ GDF, find ED

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$

What is the arc length of an angle of 2π 3 radians formed on the unit circle? A) π 3 B) 2π 3 C) 4π 3 D) 5π 3

mars1129 [50]

We know that
in a unit circle the radius is 1
therefore
[Length of a circumference]=2*pi*r------> 2*pi

if 2pi radians in a circle unit has a length of ------------> 2*pi
2pi/3 radians----------------------------> X
X=2pi/3

the answer is 2pi/3
