BE and CD are parallel, so the triangles ABE and ACD are similar. Then the following relation holds:
AE/AD = AB/AC
10/(10 + 8) = x/(x + 6)
Solve for x :
10 (x + 6) = x (10 + 8)
10x + 60 = 18x
8x = 60
x = 60/8 = 7/5
Answer:
A. has a constant proportion of 1/4.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
If your talking about the graph with x and y. The section that has a higher amount in total would be y. Apologies, if I confused myself on your question.
Get into form (x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
vetex is (h,k)
so
1/2(x-7)^2=y+4
times 2 both sides
(x-7)^2=2(y+4)
(x-7)^2=4(1/2)(y-(-4))
vertex is (7,-4)
