Answer : The value of 'x' is, 13

Step-by-step explanation :

Condition of similar triangles :

If two corresponding angles are equal.

If three corresponding sides are in same ratio.

The ratio of two pairs of corresponding sides are equal and their included angle are equal.

As we are given that:

\Delta ABC\sim \Delta EDC

So,

∠B = ∠D

(8x+16)^o=120^o

8x+16^o=120^o

8x=120^o-16^o

8x=104^o

x=\frac{104^o}{8}

x=13

Therefore, the value of 'x' is, 13

Work out the following, giving your answers in their simplest form: 4 2/5 ÷ 1 1/5
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

First make mixed

4 x 5 = 20

20 + 2 = 22

22/5 = 4 2/5

1 x 5 = 5

5 + 1 = 6

6/5= 1 1/5

Multiply the reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over like 1/2 becomes 2/1

22/5 / 6/5 = 22/5  x 5/6

Multiply

22 x 5 = 110

5 x 6 = 30

110/30

Simplify

110/10=11

30/10=3

Answer is

11/3 = 3 2/3

What is the solution to the equation 32x − 1 = 243? Question 18 options: A) x = 2 B) x = 3 C) x = 4 D) x = −2
Mama L [17]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, first you want to write the whole thing out.

32x - 1 = 243

Next you want to get the variable by itself, so you are going to use inverse operations. in the equation, it is 32x - 1, so you are going to add one to both sides, getting you this:

32x = 244

Now for the final step you are going to get x alone, so you are going to use inverse operations once more and divide 32 on both sides getting you your answer.

x = 4

Now if you want to check your work simply plug in x, and if it is equal, you got the correct answer!

I hope this helped and good luck with your math!

I'm really sorry if I'm wrong though, even though I already finished this unit a while ago I struggled on this one even though it is so easy compared to the equations I have now.

Which formula can be used to describe the sequence? f(x) = 1.2(2.5)x – 1 f(x) = 2.5(1.2)x – 1 f(x) = 1.2(2.5)x f(x) = 2.5(1.2)x
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The formula which used to describe the sequence is f(x)=1.2(2.5)ˣ⁻¹.

The given sequence is 1.2,3,7.5,18.75.

In geometric series, the ratio of two consecutive terms remains the same and this ratio is known as common ratio. a₁ is the first term of a geometric sequence and r is the common ratio, then the general term of the geometric sequence is of the form:

f(x)=a₁⋅rˣ⁻¹.

In the given sequence, a₁=1.2, a₂=3, a₃=7.5 and a₄=18.75.

Find the common ratio by

r=(aₙ₊₁)÷aₙ

r=a₂÷a₁

r=3÷1.2

r=2.5

Substitute the values in the general formula of geometric sequence.

f(x)=(1.2)(2.5)ˣ⁻¹

Hence, the formula which used to describe the sequence 1.2,3,7.5,18.75 is f(x)=(1.2)(2.5)ˣ⁻¹.
