You can write a proportion because the two triangles are similar

\frac{x}{x-2} = \frac{x + x + 5}{x + 1 + x - 2} (the second fraction is longer because I added the full lengths of the larger triangle)  cross multiply to get (x)(x + 1 + x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + x + 5)

which simplifies to (x)(2x - 1) = (x - 2)(2x + 5)

then 2x² - x = 2x² + 5x -4x - 10

then 2x² - x = 2x² + x - 10

then 2x² = 2x² + 2x - 10

subtract 2x² from both sides to get 0 = 2x - 10

add 10 to both sides to get 10 = 2x

divide both sides by 2 to get 5 = x

Which is a possible turning point for the continuous function f(x)?
babymother [125]

Answer:

We are given coordinates of a continuous function f(x)

(–2, 0)

(0, –2)

(2, –1)

(4, 0).

We need to find the possible turning point for the continuous function.

Note: Turning point is a point on the graph where slope of the curve changes from negative to positive or positive to negative.

A turning point is always lowest or highest point of the curve (where bump of the graph seen).

For the given coordinates we can see that  (–2, 0) and (4, 0) coordinates are in a same line, that is on the x-axis.

But the coordinate  (0, –2) is the lowest point on the graph.

Therefore, (0, –2) is the turning point for the continuous function given.

hoped this was helpful!

The price of gold has increased by 35% per year from 2000. In the year 2000, Harry bought a gold ring for $590. Which of the fol
Finger [1]
The function representing the price of the ring x years after 2000 is f(x) = (100 + 35)/100 *x + 590 = 135/100 *x + 590 = 1.35x + 590
i.e. f(x) = 1.35x + 590
