Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\ \\ \therefore \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2} + x + 9x + 3 \\ \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore 3 {x}^{2} + 19x - 9x - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore \: (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore \: 3x + 19 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \therefore \: x = - \frac{19}{3} \: \: or \: \: x = 3 \\ \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \: - ve \\ \therefore \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}$

14.4.1:there are five girls in a tennis class. how many different doubles teams of two girls each can be formed from the student

Rom4ik [11]

The number of teams that can be formed is 10

<h3>How to determine the number of teams?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Girls (n) = 5
Teammate (r) = 2

The number of teams is calculated as:

$Team = ^nC_r$

So, we have:

$Team = ^5C_2$

Apply the combination formula

Team = 10

Hence, the number of teams is 10

A 12-cm-long thin rod has the nonuniform charge density λ(x)=(2.0 nC/cm)e−|x|/(6.0 cm), where x is measured from the center of t

Inessa [10]

Answer:

the total charge is

$Q=24(1-\exp(-1))nC\approx15.171nC$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is measured from the center, that means that x=0 is the center so the edges of the rod correspond to x=-6 and x=6. that meas that the total charge can be calculated as

$Q=\int^{6}_{-6}2\exp\left(\frac{-|x|}{6}\right)dx$

separating the integral from -6 to 0 and from 0 to 6, taking into account that |x|=-x for x<0 and |x|=x for x >=0, we get $Q=\int^{0}_{-6}2\exp\left(\frac{x}{6}\right)dx+\int^{6}_{0}2\exp\left(\frac{-x}{6}\right)dx$

using the substitution x=-u in the first integral we get $\int^{0}_{-6}2\exp\left(\frac{x}{6}\right)dx=-\int^{0}_{6}2\exp\left(\frac{-u}{6}\right)du=\int^{6}_{0}2\exp\left(\frac{-u}{6}\right)du$
