Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The triangle with coordinate A(4,6), B(2,-2) and C(-2,-4). D is the mid point of AB and E is the mid point of AC.

To prove: DE is parallel to BC.

Construction: Join DE.

Proof: If we prove the basic proportionality theorem that is \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}, then it proves that DE is parallel to BC.

Now, Mid Point D has coordinates=(\frac{4+2}{2},\frac{6-2}{2})=(3,2) and Mid Point E has coordinates=(\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{6-4}{2})=(1,1)

Now, AD= \sqrt{(4-3)^{2}+(6-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}

DB=\sqrt{(3-2)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}

AE=\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(6-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}

EC=\sqrt{(1+2)^{2}+(1+4)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}

Now, \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}

=\frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{17}}=\frac{\sqrt{34}}{\sqrt{34}}=\frac{1}{1}

Hence, \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}

Thus, By basic proportionality theorem, DE is parallel to BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

If DE and BC are parallel, then they have the same slope.

We have

A(4, 6), B(2, -2), C(-2, -4)

The formula of a midpoint:

\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

D is the midpoint of AB, and E is a midpoint of AC.

Calculate the coordinateso fo D and E:

D\left(\dfrac{4+2}{2},\ \dfrac{6+(-2)}{2}\right)\to D\left(\dfrac{6}{2},\ \dfrac{4}{2}\right)\to D(3,\ 2)\\\\E\left(\dfrac{4+(-2)}{2},\ \dfrac{6+(-4)}{2}\right)\to E\left(\dfrac{2}{2},\ \dfrac{2}{2}\right)\to E(1,\ 1)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Calculate the formula of a DE and BC:

DE:\\\\m_{DE}=\dfrac{2-1}{3-1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\BC:\\\\m_{BC}=\dfrac{-4-(-2)}{-2-2}=\dfrac{-4+2}{-4}=\dfrac{-2}{-4}=\dfrac{1}{2}

The slope DE and the slope BC are the same.

Therefore DE is parallel to BC.

Suppose you know that the volume of the following prism is represent by V(x) = -2x^3 + 14x^2 + 120x.
erastova [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x³ + 14x² + 120x

= -2x(x² - 7x - 60)

= -2x(x - 12)(x + 5).

The other 2 dimensions are -2x and (x + 5).

When using a graphing calculator to maximise the volume of the prism, we get x = 7.378. However this value is not reasonable as it makes -2x and (x - 12) negative, which are the sides of the prism.

125% because sixteen is equal to a whole which is equal to one-hundered and one fourth of sixteen is four and sixteen plus four is twenty. one fourth of one-hundered is twenty-five so you add the twenty-five to the one-hundered and you get 125%

SOMEONE HELP !!! Please
Lelu [443]

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{8} - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 4x = 4

to complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 4 + 4

(x + 2)² = 8 ( take square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± \sqrt{8} ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{8} - 2

Which is greater .75 or 7/8
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

.75 < 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets change the decimal to a fraction

.75 = 75/100

Divide the top and bottom by 25

75/100 = 3/4

Multiply by 2/2

3/4*2/2 = 6/8

6/8 < 7/8

so .75 < 7/8
