Answer:

EG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If a line bisects another line that means the point of intersection

 divides the second line into two equal parts

∵ EF bisects CD at G

∴ CG = GD

∵ CG = 5x - 1

∵ GD = 7x - 13

∴ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

* Lets solve the equation

∵ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

- Subtract 5x from both sides and add 13 to both sides

∴ 7x - 5x = 13 - 1

∴ 2x = 12

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 6

- Point G divides EF into two parts EG and GF

∴ EF = EG + GF

∵ EF = 6x - 4

- Substitute the value of x to find EF

∵ x = 6

∴ EF = 6(6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32

∴ EF = 32

∵ GF = 13

- Substitute the values of EF and GF in the equation of EF

∴ 32 = EG + 13

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 19 = EG

* EG = 19

Writing an equation of a probably given the vertex and focus
White raven [17]

The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as

y=\frac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.

The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.

p=1-6=-5

Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation

y=-\frac{1}{20}(x-3)^2+1

Is a + b rational or irrational
Crank

Answer and fdaStep-by-step explanation:::

The answer depends on the numbers that are inputted for a and b.

If the numbers that are inputted for both a and b are rational, then a + b would be rational.

If the numbers that are inputted for both a and b are irrational, then a + b would be irrational.

If one of the variables is rational and the other is irrational, then a + b would be irrational.
