Answer:

C. 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a circle and we are asked to find the measure of angle AEC.

We will use Intersecting chords theorem to find the measure of angle AEC, which states that measure of angle formed inside a circle by two intersecting chords is one half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.

We can see that measure of arc AC is 110 degrees and measure of its vertical arc BD is 40 degrees.

$m\angle AEC=\frac{110^o+40^o}{2}$

$m\angle AEC=\frac{150^o}{2}$

$m\angle AEC=75^o$

Therefore, measure of angle AEC is 75 degrees and option C is the correct choice.

Answer : C. 75°

Given : arc length AC=110, CB=20, AD=190, and BD=40

We need to find ∠AEC

The below is the formula for measure of an angle formed by two chords

∠AEC = $\frac{1}{2} ( arc AC + arcBD)$

We know arc AC = 110 and arc BD = 40

So ∠AEC = $\frac{1}{2} ( 110 + 40)$

= $\frac{150}{2} = 75$

∠AEC = 75 degrees

Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph. if they

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...

t = d/s

t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h

to catch Peter.

Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.

Alternate Solution

Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:

3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter

_____

You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.

What is x=15 a a function and please explain the process

Vika [28.1K]

Simplifying 15 + 5x = 0 Solving 15 + 5x = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-15' to each side of the equation. 15 + -15 + 5x = 0 + -15 Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0 0 + 5x = 0 + -15 5x = 0 + -15 Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15 5x = -15 Divide each side by '5'. x = -3 Simplifying x = -3

I don’t know how to do this

stich3 [128]

To check for continuity at the edges of each piece, you need to consider the limit as $x$ approaches the edges. For example,

$g(x)=\begin{cases}2x+5&\text{for }x\le-3\\x^2-10&\text{for }x>-3\end{cases}$

has two pieces, $2x+5$ and $x^2-10$ , both of which are continuous by themselves on the provided intervals. In order for $g$ to be continuous everywhere, we need to have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-3^-}g(x)=\lim_{x\to-3^+}g(x)=g(-3)$

By definition of $g$ , we have $g(-3)=2(-3)+5=-1$ , and the limits are

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-3^-}g(x)=\lim_{x\to-3}(2x+5)=-1$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-3^+}g(x)=\lim_{x\to-3}(x^2-10)=-1$

The limits match, so $g$ is continuous.

For the others: Each of the individual pieces of $f,h$ are continuous functions on their domains, so you just need to check the value of each piece at the edge of each subinterval.
