What is the value of x please help me

1 answer:

Tju [1.3M]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>x = 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔLMN and ΔPMQ are similar. Therefore thw sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{LM}{PM}=\dfrac{NM}{QM}$

We have:

LM = 3 + 9 = 12

PM = 9

NM = x + 12

QM = 12

Substitute:

$\dfrac{12}{9}=\dfrac{x+12}{12}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$9(x+12)=(12)(12)$

$9(x+12)=144$ <em>divide both sides by 9</em>

$\dfrac{9(x+12)}{9}=\dfrac{144}{9}$

$x+12=16$ <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

$x=4$

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−10, −8) and (−6, −2), what is the standard form equation of the circle? A) (x

kolbaska11 [484]

Selections B and D both appear to be appropriate.
B) (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13
D) (x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13

_____
The center is at the midpoint of the diameter, ((-10-6)/2, (-8-2)/2) = (-8, -5). For center (h, k) and radius r, the equation is
(x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²
(x -(-8))² +(y -(-5))² = (√13)²
(x+8)² + (y+5)² = 13

The 13-foot string is arranged into a rectangle. Let L denote the length of the rectangle,

soldi70 [24.7K]

The expressions for the width, W, and area, A, of the rectangle in terms of L are:

W = $\frac{13}{2}$ - L
A = $\frac{13L - L^{2} }{2}$

The expression for the perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

P = 2(L + W)

where L is its length and W its width

a. Given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 13 feet, then;

13 = 2(L + W)

divide through by 2

$\frac{13}{2}$ = L + W

So that;

W = $\frac{13}{2}$ - L

The required formula for the width as a function of L is: W = $\frac{13}{2}$ - L

b. Area of a rectangle can be expressed as;

A = L * W

substitute the expression for width in that of area to have

A = L * ( $\frac{13}{2}$ - L)

= $\frac{13}{2}$ L - $L^{2}$

A = $\frac{13L - L^{2} }{2}$

The expression for the area A is: A = $\frac{13L - L^{2} }{2}$

What is the standard form equation of the line shown below? Graph of a line going through negative 2, 3 and 1, negative 3

V125BC [204]

Answer:

3. 2x + y = −1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we write it first in the slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+q$

where

m is the slope

q is the y-intercept

From the graph, we see that the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1, so the y-intercept is -1:

$q=-1$

Now we have to find the slope, by calculating the rate of change of the line through 2 points:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Taking the two points at (-2,3) and (1,-3), we find:

$m=\frac{-3-3}{1-(-2)}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2$

So the equation of the line is

$y=-2x-1$

Now we have to re-arrange it in the standard form, so in the form

$ax+bx=c$

where a, b and c are integer numbers.

To do that, we simply add +2x on both sides of the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, and we get:

$y+2x=-1$

So, option 3).
