If M is the Midpoint of AB, then solve for x find the unknown measures the given segments.
Leto [7]

Answer:

If M is midpoint of AB, then

AM=MB

4x-5= 2x+11

2x=16

x=8

AM= 4x-5

=4(8)-5

=32-5

=27

BM=2x+11

=2(8)+11

=16+11

=27

Hope it helps:-)

Verify sin^4 x - sin^2 x = cos^4 x - cos^2 x is an identity
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(identity has been verified)

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify the following identity:

sin(x)^4 - sin(x)^2 = cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

sin(x)^2 = 1 - cos(x)^2:

sin(x)^4 - 1 - cos(x)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

-(1 - cos(x)^2) = cos(x)^2 - 1:

cos(x)^2 - 1 + sin(x)^4 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

sin(x)^4 = (sin(x)^2)^2 = (1 - cos(x)^2)^2:

-1 + cos(x)^2 + (1 - cos(x)^2)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

(1 - cos(x)^2)^2 = 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4:

-1 + cos(x)^2 + 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

-1 + cos(x)^2 + 1 - 2 cos(x)^2 + cos(x)^4 = cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2:

cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2 = ^?cos(x)^4 - cos(x)^2

The left hand side and right hand side are identical:

Explain how you can use the distributive property to check the binomial factors when a trinomial has been factored. Include an e
erica [24]
What you can do is split one of the binomials and then apply the distributive property if f(x) = (x + 3)(x -2) split the 1st binomial f(x) = x(x -2) + 3(x -2) now apply the distributive property to get
f(x)=x2−2x+3x−6
which simplifies to
f(x)=x2+x−6
