Answer:

C. - X = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x from the given figure.

In ΔADB and ΔCDB

 ∠ABD=∠BCD         (Corresponding angle of two right triangle)

 ∠ADB=∠CDB         (Each 90°)

∴  ΔADB ≈ ΔCDB  By AA similarity

If two triangles are similar then ratio of their corresponding height are same.

Substitute the value of side into the expression

Cross multiply and solve for x

x can't be negative because side of triangle is positive.

Hence, The value of x is 5 units.

What is 2x-y=6 the slope
Flura [38]

First of all, lets get y on its own side of the equation.

-y=-2x+6\\y=2x-6\\

This is slope intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is slope.

we can see that m=2, so the slope is 2 or \frac{2}{1}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(f*g)(x) = (-5x² + 2x + 7) (x +1)

          = x* (-5x² + 2x + 7) + 1*(-5x² + 2x + 7)

          = x*(-5x²) + x*2x + x*7 - 5x² + 2x + 7

        = -5x³ + 2x² + 7x - 5x² + 2x + 7

        = - 5x³ + <u>2x² -5x²</u>   <u>+ 7x + 2x </u>+7   {Combine like terms}

       =  -5x³ - 3x² + 9x + 7

4) (f*g)(x) = (x² + 2x + 4)(x - 2)

                = x*(x² + 2x + 4) - 2*(x² + 2x + 4)

                = x*x² + x*2x + x*4 - 2*x² - 2*2x -2* 4

                = x³ + 2x² + 4x  -2x² -4x - 8

                = x³ - 8

2) Speed=\dfrac{distance}{time}\\\\\\= \dfrac{d(h)}{t(h)}\\\\= \dfrac{2\sqrt{h}}{3\sqrt{4h}}=\dfrac{2*\sqrt{h}}{3*2\sqrt{h}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}

1)d(h) = \sqrt{16h^{4}}=\sqrt{2*2*2*2*h*h*h*h}=2*2*h*h=4h^{2}\\\\\\t(h) = 3h^{4}-3h^{3}-5h^{2}= h^{2}(3h^{2}-3h - 5))\\\\Speed=\dfrac{4h^{2}}{h^{2}(3h^{2}-3h-5)}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3h^{2}-3h-5}

Point A is at (-7,5) and point B is at (7,3) what is the midpoint
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The midpoint between A(-7, 5) and B (7, 3) is: (0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • A (-7, 5)
  • B (7, 3)

Determining the midpoint between A(-7, 5) and B (7, 3)

M.P_{AB\:}=\:\:\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-7,\:5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(7,\:3\right)

             =\left(\frac{7-7}{2},\:\frac{3+5}{2}\right)

             =\left(0,\:4\right)

Therefore, the midpoint between A(-7, 5) and B (7, 3) is: (0, 4)
