9x + 3x = 180
12x = 180
x = 15

we know that

In the <u>isosceles trapezoid</u> of the figure, the angles on either side of the bases are the same size/measure (congruent), and adjacent angles (next to each other) along the sides are supplementary.

so

m∠A=m∠B=3x

m∠D=m∠C=9x

m∠A+m∠D= $180$

Substitute

$3x+9x=180\\\\ 12x=180\\\\ x=\frac{180}{12} \\ \\ x=15\ degrees$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the value of x is equal to $15\ degrees$

56. How many tangent lines to the curve <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3Dx%20%2F%28x%2B1%29" id="TexFormula1" title="y=x /(

PIT_PIT [208]

There are 2 tangent lines that pass through the point

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

and

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

Explanation:

Given:

$y=\frac{x}{x+1}$

The point-slope form of the equation of a line tells us that the form of the tangent lines must be:

$y=m(x-1)+2$ $[1]$

For the lines to be tangent to the curve, we must substitute the first derivative of the curve for $m$ :

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{d(x)}{dx}(x+1)-x^\frac{d(x+1)}{dx} \\ \\$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{x+1-x}{(x+1)^2}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}$

$m=\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}$ $[2]$

Substitute equation [2] into equation [1]:

$y=\frac{x-1}{(x+1)^2}+2$ $[1.1]$

Because the line must touch the curve, we may substitute $y=\frac{x}{x+1}:$

$\frac{x}{x+1}=\frac{x-1}{(x+1)^2}+2$

Solve for x:

$x(x+1)=(x-1)+2(x+1)^2$

$x^2+x=x-1+2x^2+4x+2$

$x^2+4x+1$

$x\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(1)} }{2(1)}$

$x=-2$ ± $\sqrt{3}$

$x=-2$ ± $\sqrt{3}$ <em> </em> $and$ $x=-2-\sqrt{3}$

There are 2 tangent lines.

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

and

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

What is the answer to this equation? 2(9+x) = -5(4-x)

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Hi!

Alrighty here we go:

2(9+x)=-5(4-x)

18+2x=-20+5x

Now combine like terms

+20+18+2x=-20+20+5x

38+2x=5x

38+2x-2x=5x-2x

38=3x

x= 38/3

Hope this helped!
