Find the value of x in each case.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>x = 13 deg</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the picture, you have:

CF and CD are perpendicular

=> angle BCF = 90 deg

=> angle BCE + angle ECF = angle BCF = 90 deg

or angle BCE + 64 = 90

=> angle BCE = 90 - 64 = 26 deg

Point A, B, and C are collinear

=> (angle ABE) + angle CBE = 180 deg  (1)

Otherwise, as the property of the sum of 3 angles in a triangle:

(angle BEC + angle BCE) + angle CBE = 180 deg  (2)

From (1) and (2) you would have:

angle ABE = angle BEC + angle BCE

or

3x = 26 + x

<=> 3x -  x = 26

<=> 2x = 26

<=> x = 26/2

<=> x = 13

=> angle BEC = x = 13 deg

=> angle ABE = 3x = 3(13) = 39 deg

Hope this helps!

Write an<br> explicit formula for An, the nth term of the sequence 7, -42, 252, ....
erik [133]

Answer:

A_n = 7(-6)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Explicit formula, Geometric sequence</u>

1) This is a geometric sequence, meaning a constant (like 6 or 3.5) is being multiplied to every term. First we need to find the constant.

This can be done by doing -42 ÷ 7   or   252 ÷ -42

-42 ÷ 7 equals -6.

252 ÷ -42 also equals -6.

2) This means that constant is -6.

3) The general form for an explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1(r)^{n-1}

--> r means the constant (or common ratio) that is being multiplied.

--> a_1 means the first term

--> a_n means the "nth" numbered term (so a_3 is the 3rd term, a_{10} is the 10th term and so on).

--> n-1 is just the "n" in a_n minus 1.

4) We can use this formula to create an explicit formula for the geometric sequence in the problem.

--> r = -6 (Since we got -6 as the constant/common ratio).

--> a_1  = 7 (Since 7 is the 1st term)

This means that our formula would be --> A_n = 7(-6)^{n-1}

What is y=1/2x+4 in standard form?
zhuklara [117]
<h3>Answer:  x-2y = -8</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction

y = (1/2)x+4

2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]

2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4

2y = x + 8

Then move the x term over to the left side

2y = x+8

2y-x = 8

-x+2y = 8

Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1

-x+2y = 8

-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8

x-2y = -8

This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8

The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
