Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....

Prove the polynomial identity.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Proven

Step-by-step explanation:

We prove the polynomial with factorization. We must first simplify the expression before we can factorize:

(4\cdot{x^2}-2)\cdot{(4\cdot{x^2}-2)}-16\cdot{x^4}

16\cdot{x^4}-8\cdot{x^2}-8\cdot{x^2}+4-16\cdot{x^4}

4-16\cdot{x^2}

4 is the common number and we can take it out of the expression:

4\cdot{(1-4\cdot{x^2})}

We can factorize further with the x term being zero. For this to be true we must have -2x and 2x to cancel out and therefore the expression is proven:

4\cdot{(1-2\cdot{x})}\cdot{(1+2\cdot{x})}

If \triangle ABC△ABC is equilateral, solve for x. <br><br><br><br><br> x=
Gwar [14]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The tirangle ABC is given as equilateral. Every angle is therefore =. Not only that, each angle is 60 degrees.

If you need proof of that, remember that x + x + x  = 180. Every triangle has 180 degrees.

if 3x = 180 then 1 x is 60

8x - 44 = 60       Add 44 to both sides.

8x = 60 + 44

8x = 104             Divide by 8

x = 104/8

x = 13

The perpendicular bisector of side AB of ∆ABC intersects side AB at point D and BC at point E. If m∠CAB = 82° and m∠C = 68°, fin
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Check the picture below.

now, an angle bisector I assume, since it intersects the opposite segment at D and then at E.  An angle bisector cuts an angle in two equal halves, so if ∡CAB is 82°, that just means that ∡CAE is one of those halves, or 41°.
