Answer : The value of side EG is, 24 units.

Step-by-step explanation :

Property of parallelogram:

The diagonals bisect each other and the opposite sides are equal to each other.

In the given parallelogram EFGH,

Given:

Side EJ = x^2-4

Side JG = 3x

According to the property of parallelogram,

Side EJ = Side JG

x^2-4=3x

x^2-3x-4=0

x^2-4x+1x-4=0

x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0

(x-4)(x+1)=0

(x-4) = 0  and  (x+1) = 0

x = 4  and x = -1

Now we have to determine the value of side EG.

Side EG = Side EJ + Side JG

Side EG = x^2-4+3x

Now put the value of x = 4, we get:

Side EG = (4)^2-4+3(4)=16-4+12=24

Now put the value of x = -1, we get:

Side EG = (-1)^2-4+3(-1)=1-4-3=-6

As we know that, the value of side can not be negative. So, the value of side EG will be, 24 units.

Hence, the value of side EG is, 24 units.

If a town with a population of 10,000 doubles in size every 17 years. What will the population be 68 years from now?
dusya [7]

Let us set up the equation:

total population = 10000*(2)^{68/17}=10000*(2^4)=160000 people

  • 10000 is the initial population
  • 2 is the rate at which the population grows
  • 68/17 is the number of periods that the population grows

Hope that helps!

Identify the y-coordinate for the solution to the system of equations. Solve the system using substitution.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

x = 23/5 OR 4.6

y = 157/15 OR 10.46

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4x + 6x - 33 = 13

> 10x - 33 = 13

> 10x = 13 + 33

> 10x = 46

y = 4 (25/5) + 3y = -13

> 92/5 + 37 = -13

> 3y = -13 - 92/5

> 3y = - 157/5

The loudness, L, of a sound (measured in decibels, dB) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d, from
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The jetski is 2.28 dB loud when the person is 41 feet away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loudness (L) ∝ 1 / Distance² (d²)

Introduce a constant 'K'

L = K (1/d²)

L = K/d²

K = Ld²

Find the K from a previously known information: If a person 8 feet from a jetski hears 60 decibels loud

∴ d = 8 ft , L = 60 db

K = 60(8²) = <em>3840</em>

How loud is the jetski when the person is 41 feet away?

Distance is now 41 ft

since: L = K/d²

∴ L = 3840 / 41²

L = 3840 / 1681

L = 2.28 db
