Answer:

5.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

<BAD = <CAE, therefore, BD = EC

Let's take x to be the length of BD = EC

BD + DE + EC = BC

BC = 20,

BD = EC = x

DE ≈ 9.28

Thus,

x + 9.28 + x = 20

x + x + 9.28 = 20

2x + 9.28 = 20

Subtract 9.28 from both sides

2x + 9.28 - 9.28 = 20 - 9.28

2x = 10.72

Divided both sides by 2 to solve for x

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10.72}{2}$

$x = \frac{10.72}{2}$

$x = 5.36$

BD ≈ 5.36

What is the vertex of a parabola defined by the equation <br> x = 5y2?

QveST [7]

Find the critical points of f(y):Compute the critical points of -5 y^2
To find all critical points, first compute f'(y):( d)/( dy)(-5 y^2) = -10 y:f'(y) = -10 y
Solving -10 y = 0 yields y = 0:y = 0
f'(y) exists everywhere:-10 y exists everywhere
The only critical point of -5 y^2 is at y = 0:y = 0
The domain of -5 y^2 is R:The endpoints of R are y = -∞ and ∞
Evaluate -5 y^2 at y = -∞, 0 and ∞:The open endpoints of the domain are marked in grayy | f(y)-∞ | -∞0 | 0∞ | -∞
The largest value corresponds to a global maximum, and the smallest value corresponds to a global minimum:The open endpoints of the domain are marked in grayy | f(y) | extrema type-∞ | -∞ | global min0 | 0 | global max∞ | -∞ | global min
Remove the points y = -∞ and ∞ from the tableThese cannot be global extrema, as the value of f(y) here is never achieved:y | f(y) | extrema type0 | 0 | global max
f(y) = -5 y^2 has one global maximum:Answer: f(y) has a global maximum at y = 0

At the afternoon matinee movie, 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets cost $32, and 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets cost $44.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

2x + 4y = 32

4x + 3y = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information supplied in the question, we can see that 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets cost $32. This means we multiply the cost of an adult ticket by 2 and add it to the product of 4 child tickets and its price I.e y.

We can also see that to get a total cost of $44, 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets were bought. Hence, we simply multiply the cost of an adult ticket by 4 and add it to the product of 3 child ticket and its price
