Answer:

AC = 6 ÷ 7

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

AB = 5x - 2

BC = 9x - 10

So,

AC = AB + BC

= 5x - 2 + 9x - 10

14x -12 = 0

AC = 6 ÷ 7

As B is the mid point of point A and point C, so the value of x is determined by solving the given equations mentioned in the question

5x - 2 = 9x - 10

5x - 9x = -10 +2

-4x = -8

x = 2

Hence, the value of AC and the X is 6 ÷ 7 and 2 respectively

Answer:

$\lim _{x\to 2}\:\frac{x-2}{x^2-2}\\\\ \lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{x^2+6x-187}{x^2+3x-154}\\\\ \lim _{x\to \frac{5}{2}}\left\frac{2x^2+x-15}{2x-5}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $\lim _{x\to 3}\:\frac{x^2-10x+21}{x^2+4x-21}=\lim \:_{x\to \:3}\:\frac{\left(x-7\right)\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x+7\right)\left(x-3\right)}=\lim \:_{x\to \:3}\:\frac{x-7}{x+7}=\frac{3-7}{3+7}=-\frac{4}{10}=-\frac{2}{5}$

b) $\lim _{x\to -\frac{3}{2}}\left(\frac{2x^2-5x-12}{2x+3}\right)=\lim \:_{x\to -\frac{3}{2}}\:\frac{\left(2x+3\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(2x+3\right)}=\lim \:\:_{x\to \:-\frac{3}{2}}\:\left(x-4\right)=-\frac{3}{2}-4\\ \\ \lim _{x\to -\frac{3}{2}}\left(\frac{2x^2-5x-12}{2x+3}\right)=-\frac{11}{2}$

c) $\lim _{x\to 2}\:\frac{x-2}{x^2-2}=\frac{2-2}{\left(2\right)^2-2}=\frac{0}{4-2}=0$

d) $\lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{x^2+6x-187}{x^2+3x-154}=\lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{\left(x-11\right)\left(x+17\right)}{\left(x-11\right)\left(x+14\right)}=\lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{\left(x+17\right)}{\left(x+14\right)}=\frac{11+17}{11+14}=\frac{28}{25}$

e) $\lim _{x\to 3}\:\frac{x^2-8x+15}{x-3}=\lim \:_{x\to \:3}\:\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-5\right)}{x-3}=\lim _{x\to 3}\left(x-5\right)=3-5=-2$

f) $\lim _{x\to \frac{5}{2}}\left(\frac{2x^2+x-15}{2x-5}\right)=\lim \:_{x\to \:\frac{5}{2}}\frac{\left(2x-5\right)\left(x+3\right)}{2x-5}=\lim \:\:_{x\to \:\:\frac{5}{2}}\left(x+3\right)=\frac{5}{2}+3=\frac{11}{2}$

Anne wants to fill 12 hanging baskets with compost. Each hanging basket is a hemisphere of diameter 40 cm.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to answering this question

determine the volume of the 12 basket

volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr^3

n = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

radius = 40/2 = 20 cm

volume of one hemisphere = (2/3) x (22/7) x (20^3) = 16,761.90 cm^3

volume of the 12 baskets = 16,761.90 cm^3 x 12 = 201,142.86 cm^

2. convert the litres of compost to cm and multiply by the total bags of compost

1 litre = 1000cm

1 bag of compost = 50 x 1000 = 50,000

4 bags of compost = 50,000 x 4 = 200,000 cm

3. compare which figure is higher. the figure gotten in step 1 or 2

201,142.86 cm^3 is greater than 200,000

there is no enough compost

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! I’m trying to do my homework and this is hard! It’s linear functions. Also it’s number 3

kondaur [170]

Answer:

A. y = 1x + 4

B. 1

C. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (0, 4) is the y-intercept. So b = 4

y goes up each time by 1. So m = 1

Plug into y = mx + b

y = 1x + 4

The sum of 2 consecutive numbers is 37. Find the numbers. If x represents the smaller integer, then the larger integer is

NARA [144]

Answer:

x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways this problem could be solved. The easiest route is to note that the first part of the question says "2 consecutive numbers". If the numbers are next to each other on a number line (consecutive) and x is the smaller number, the larger number is x + 1.

To check, let's find the two numbers. We know the numbers are next to each other on a number line and that together, they equal 37. Let's begin with 15 and 16.

15 + 16 = 31

These numbers are too low, as they should add to 37. Let's try 18 and 19.

18 + 19 = 37

There are the two correct numbers. If x = the smaller number, x = 18.

18 + 1 = 19

Since this is correct, we know for sure that the answer is x + 1.
