In trapezoid $ABCD$, $\overline{AB}$ is parallel to $\overline{CD}$, $AB = 7$ units, and $CD = 10$ units. Segment $EF$ is drawn

parallel to $\overline{AB}$ with $E$ lying on $\overline{AD}$ and $F$ lying on $\overline{BC}$. If $BF:FC = 3:4$, what is $EF$? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answer:

EF = 58/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you extend both BC and AD to meet at P you get 3 similar triangles PAB, PEF, and PCD. Let's call BF = 3x and FC = 4x. Therefore the following proportions can be expressed:

BP/7 = (BP+7x)/10

10BP = 7*(BP+7x)

10BP = 7BP+49x

3BP = 49x

BP = (49/3)x

BP/7 = (BP+3x)/EF

EF = (BP+3x)*7/BP

EF = ((49/3)x + 3x)*7/((49/3)x)

EF = ((58/3)x*7*3)/(49x)

EF = 58/7

What is the answer for this ?
REY [17]

Answer:

A

-2 < x ≤ 3 (All x values between -2 and 3; excluding -2 and including 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I feel the answer is A because from what we know, domain is the x-intercept or x. So both C and D are not the answer because the y-intercept is not the domain, the y-intercept is the range. Next I looked at both A and B, well, if you look closely answer choice A says "excluding -2 and including 3" and choice B says "including -2 and excluding 3". I also seen on the graph that the point of (3,3) has a filled in dot and the point at (-2,-1) has an opened dot. A filled in dot always means you either have a ≥ (greater than or equal to sign) or a ≤ (less than or equal to sign). While an opened dot always means you just have < (greater than) or a > (less than) sign. So the correct answer is A!! Hope you have a fantastic rest of your day! :)))

WEDNESDAY: Use the quadratic formula to solve the following: 3x^2 - 6x-12 = 0*
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a.) 3.236 or -1.236

Step-by-step explanation:

Used an online calculator for this answer...

Using the Quadratic Formula where

x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^2 - 4(3)(-12)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ 6 \pm \sqrt{36 - -144}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ 6 \pm \sqrt{180}}{ 6 }

The discriminant b^2−4ac > 0

so, there are two real roots.

Simplify the radical...

x = \frac{ 6 \pm 6\sqrt{5}\, }{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ 6 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{6\sqrt{5}\, }{ 6 }\\x = 1 \pm \sqrt{5}\,

This simplifies to...

x = 3.23607\\x = -1.23607
