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

The number of board feet in a 16 foot long tree is approximated by the model F(d) = 0.77d^2 -- 1.32d -- 9.31 where F is the numb
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

we are given

F(d)=0.77d^2-1.32d-9.31

where

F is the number of board feet

d is the diameter (in inches) of the log

Since, we have to minimize F

so, firstly we will find it's derivative

F'(d)=0.77\times 2d-1.32\times 1-0

F'(d)=1.54d-1.32

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for d

F'(d)=1.54d-1.32=0

1.54d-1.32=0

so, we get diameter as

d=\frac{6}{7}inch..............Answer
