Usually you prove the medians are concurrent way before you get the Ceva's Theorem.  But we do the problem as given.  Next time try to include the whole problem in the photo.

FA=FB, BE=EC, CG=GA

Answer: C. Definition of median

The medians go to the midpoints of the sides, so we have congruent segments from the foot.

FA/FB=1, BE/EC=1, CG/GA=1

Answer: A. Division of equal segment lengths yields 1

This one is cut off so we can't read the full justification, but we have equal segments so their ratio is 1.

(FA/FB)(BE/EC)(CG/GA)=1

Answer: E. Substitution property

Again the justification is cut off, but we have three things equal to 1, when we multiply them together we still get 1.

Medians are Concurrent

Answer: B. Ceva's Theorem

This is really the converse of Ceva's Theorem; we have the required ratio product equal to 1, so we know the medians are concurrent.   Technically they might be parallel (which is concurrent in the projective sense, meeting at infinity).  So we really need to show they're not parallel as well, which they can't be, but they left that part out.

I don't like this proof very much.

The graph of a quadratic f(x) intersects the x-axis at –15 and 9. What is a possible
Orlov [11]

the point that the function intercepts the x axis are the zeros of the function, where the products set equal to zero give you the x coordinate in which it intercepts.

x=-15 and x=9

set both equal to 0

x+15 and x-9

These are your two products

(x+15)(x-9)

or

x^2+6x-135

A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 it f
choli [55]

Answer:

The length of the ladder  = 6.5077 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A ladder leans against the side of a house

Given the angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 ft from the side of the house

Let 'C' be the point of observation.

Given CA= 16 ft

 From right angle triangle

     

     

     x = 16 × cos 68°

    x = 16 × 0.4067

    x = 6.5077

  x = 6.5 ft

The length of the ladder = 6.5 ft

What would be the final elevation if a moth is flying at at 9 meters above the ground and changes by -4?
quester [9]
5 because this is equivalent to 9-4 which is 5 meters, this is because he is going up 9 and then goes down 4, do 9-4, which is 5

Divide £2400 into the ratio 5:7
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

£1000, £1400

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio 5 + 7 = 12 parts

Divide the amount by 12 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

£2400 ÷ 12 = £200, thus

5 parts = 5 × £200 = £1000

7 parts = 7 × £200 = £1400
