Answer:

x = 9, GH = 21, CD = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral CDEF is a trapezoid in which G and H are mid points of the sides CF and DE respectively.

In a trapezoid, segment joining the mid points is equal to the half of the sum of the parallel sides.

$\therefore \: GH = \frac{1}{2} (CD + FE) \\ \\ \therefore \:3x - 6 =\frac{1}{2} (2x - 1 + 25) \\ \\ \therefore \:3x - 6 =\frac{1}{2} (2x + 24) \\ \\ \therefore \:3x - 6 =\frac{1}{2} \times 2 (x + 12) \\ \\ \therefore \:3x - 6 = x + 12 \\ \\ \therefore \:3x - x = 12 + 6 \\ \\ \therefore \:2x = 18 \\ \\ \therefore \:x = \frac{18}{2} \\ \\ \huge\red{ \boxed{\therefore \:x = 9}} \\\\ \because \overline{GH} = 3x - 6 \\ \\\therefore \:\overline{GH} =3 \times 9 - 6 \\ \\ \therefore \:\overline{GH} =27 - 6 \\ \\ \huge\purple{ \boxed{\therefore \:\overline{GH} =21}} \\ \\ \because\overline{CD} = 2x - 1 \\\\ \therefore \:\overline{CD} =2 \times 9 - 1 \\ \\ \therefore \:\overline{CD} =18 - 1 \\ \\ \huge\pink{ \boxed{\therefore \:\overline{CD} =17}} \\ \\$

As we can notice the shape is a Pentagon. A Pentagon's angles should add up to 540. So we can use simple addition and subtraction to solve.

121 + 108 + 102 + 100 = 431

540 - 431 = 109

109 should be your answer

1/3^-1-1^-1/4^-1 find the value in the following equation

nadezda [96]

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

= 1/3 (-1-1) x -1/4 (-1)

= 1/3 (-2) x 1/4

= -2/3 x 1/4

= -2\12

2 and 12 can cancel out each other.

so the answer will be.

= -1/6.

Dwayne drove 18 miles to the airport to pick up his father and then returned home. On the return trip he was able to drive an av

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d = distance (in miles)

Let t = time (in hours)

Let v = average speed driving to the airport (in mph)

⇒ v + 15 = average speed driving from the airport (in mph)

Using: distance = speed x time

$\implies t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Create two equations for the journey to and from the airport, given that the distance one way is 18 miles:

$\implies t=\dfrac{18}{v} \ \ \textsf{and} \ \ t=\dfrac{18}{v+15}$

We are told that the total driving time is 1 hour, so the sum of these expressions equals 1 hour:

$\implies \dfrac{18}{v} +\dfrac{18}{v+15}=1$

Now all we have to do is solve the equation for v:

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)}{v(v+15)} +\dfrac{18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies \dfrac{18(v+15)+18v}{v(v+15)}=1$

$\implies 18(v+15)+18v=v(v+15)$

$\implies 18v+270+18v=v^2+15v$

$\implies v^2-21v-270=0$

$\implies (v-30)(v+9)=0$

$\implies v=30, v=-9$

As v is positive, v = 30 only

So the average speed driving to the airport was 30 mph

(and the average speed driving from the airport was 45 mph)

What are the domain and range of the function f(x)= square rootx-7+9?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Domain: [7, ∞)

Range: [9, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This question may be easily answered if you are aware of the shape of the graph of sq. root x, and the effect of translations to graphs.

1. x - 7 means that the original graph is translated 7 units in the positive direction of the x-axis (ie. to the right), thus the minimum value for x is also shifted from 0 to 7

2. the + 9 means that the graph is translated 9 units in the positive direction of the y-axis (ie. up), thus the minimum y-value is also shifted from 0 to 9

3. We know that the graph will continue to infinity, both in the x- and y-direction

Thus, the domain would be [7, ∞) and the range [9, ∞)

2) Another way to think about it is to ask yourself when it would make sense for the graph to exist. For this, we must consider that you cannot take the square root of a negative number.

Thus, if we have the square root of (x - 7), for what value of x would (x - 7) be negative? If x = 7:

x - 7 = 7 - 7 = 0

Therefor, any x-value less than 7 will lead to a negative answer, which wouldn't be practical. Any value equal to or greater than 7 will lead to a positive answer, thus the permissible values for x are from 7 to infinity, and so the domain is [7, ∞) (note that square brackets are used for 7 as it is included in the domain, whereas infinity is always closed with round brackets).

If we have already found the domain, then we can simply substitute the values for this into the equation to obtain the range (note that this will work for a square root function, however some functions will have turning points and in this case you must calculate the range based on the turning points as well as the minimum and maximum x-values):

if x = 7: y = sq. root (7-7) + 9

= 9

This is the minimum value for y

if we have x = ∞, then the y value will also be infinitely great, therefor the maximum y-value is also ∞. Thus, the range is [9, ∞).

These questions are much easier to solve however if you are already aware of the basic graph and the effect of dilations, translations and reflections so that you may visualise it better.
