Answer:

x=11, y=8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider quadrilateral LMNO. If this quadrilateral MUST BE a parallelogram, then

LM=NO

and

LO=MN

Thus,

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}4x+4=5x-7\\ \\x-7=3y-4\end{array}\right.$

Solve this system of two equations. From the first equation:

$4x-5x=-7-4\\ \\-x=-11\\ \\x=11$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$11-7=3y-4\\ \\3y-4=4\\ \\3y=4+4\\ \\3y=8\\ \\y=\dfrac{8}{3}$

17) Sometimes true

Given only that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, we can only conclude the opposite sides are congruent - not the adjacent sides

18) Always true

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

19) Always true.

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

20) Never true

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, meankng that MR = RP.

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies. How many cups will Sam use to make five batches. Write your answer in two ways. Impro

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Improper fraction = 10/3 cups

Mixed fraction = 3 1/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies

Rate = 2/3 cup per batch

To make 5 batches, he would need;

Amount = number of batches × rate per batch

Amount = 5 batches × 2/3 cups per batch

Amount of sugar he would need = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups

Answer: $\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two upward facing parabolas with equations

$y=6x^2 & y=x^2+2$

The two intersect at

$6x^2=x^2+2$

$5x^2=2$

$x^2$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

x= $\pm \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

area enclosed by them is given by

A= $\int_{-\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left [ \left ( x^2+2\right )-\left ( 6x^2\right ) \right ]dx$

A= $\int_{\sqrt{-\frac{2}{5}}}^{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}\left ( 2-5x^2\right )dx$

A= $4\left [ \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} \right ]-\frac{5}{3}\left [ \left ( \frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2}-\left ( -\frac{2}{5}\right )^\frac{3}{2} \right ]$

A= $\frac{8}{3}\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$

Solve using the square root property.X^2=-12

Alla [95]

Answer:

x = ± 2i $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

note that $\sqrt{-1}$ = i

x² = - 12 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{-12}$ = ± $\sqrt{4(3)(-1)}$ = ± 2i $\sqrt{3}$
