Answer:

The correct option is E. 8

The value of h is 8 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Δ BAD ~ Δ CBD

AC = 20

DC = 4

∴ AD = AC - DC=20-4=16

To Find:

h = ?

Solution:

Δ BAD ~ Δ CBD      ................Given

If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.

\frac{BD}{CD} =\frac{AD}{BD} =\frac{BA}{CB}\ \textrm{corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion}\\  

On substituting the given values we get

\dfrac{BD}{CD} =\dfrac{AD}{BD}

\dfrac{h}{4} =\dfrac{16}{h}\\\therefore h^{2}=64\\\therefore h=8\ unit

The value of h is 8 unit.

Express the solution of, x^3 + 2x^2 < x + 2, using interval notation?
kati45 [8]
X³ + 2x² - x - 2 < 0

x³ - x + 2x² - 2 < 0

x(x² - 1) - 2(x² - 1) < 0

(x - 2)(x² - 1) < 0

(x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1) < 0

by chacking we get the solution

x ∈ (-∞,-1) ∪ (-1,1)

One expression is the sum of 14 and some number. A second expression is 20. The two expressions are equal. Write an equation and
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that some number apart of the first expression is the variable x.

The problem says that both expressions are equal so we can set them equal hence an equation.

Equation: 14 + x = 20

As we have set the two expressions that are equivalent to each other (as said so in the problem), our next goal is to solve for the unkown number. To get our unkown number or in other words the number that is the solution for the equation, we subtract 14 from both sides. 20-14 is equal to 6. Now we know that x is 6 so the solution for the equation consisting of the 2 equal expressions is not 2, 5, or 10, but 6.
