$\bf \triangle ABD\sim \triangle DEC\implies \cfrac{AB}{ED}=\cfrac{AC}{CD}\implies \cfrac{42}{x}=\cfrac{6}{32-x}\implies 42(32-x)=6x \\\\\\ 1344-42x=6x\implies 1344=48x\implies \cfrac{1344}{48}=x\implies 28=x$

Answer:

x = 10 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of corresponding sides are the same, so we have ...

x/8 = 8/6

x = 8·(8/6) = 64/6

x = 10 2/3

URGENT I HAVE ALMOST 0 TIME LEFT I NEED LAST MINUTE HELP

jonny [76]

Answer:

The zeros are the points where the parabola intercepts the x-axis.

$\sf x = 7 \implies x - 7 = 0$

$\sf x = 1 \implies x - 1 = 0$

$\sf \implies y = a(x - 7)(x - 1)$ where a is some constant

If the parabola passes through point (3, 4) then:

$\sf \implies a(3 - 7)(3 - 1) = 4$

$\sf \implies a(-4)(2) = 4$

$\sf \implies -8a = 4$

$\sf \implies a = -\dfrac12$

So the equation of the parabola is:

$\sf y = -\dfrac12(x - 7)(x - 1)$

Or in standard form:

$\sf y = -\dfrac12x^2+4x-\dfrac72$

Find the length of the side of the square.

nignag [31]

6x-1=4x+6

subtracting 4x from each side

2x-1=6

adding 1 to each side

2x=7

divide by 2

x=7/2 or 3.5

check: 6(7/2) -1 =4(7/2)+6

21-1 =14+6

20=20 correct

If h(x) = −3x − 10, find h(−3). (1 point)

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

h(- 3) = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = - 3 into h(x) , that is

h(- 3) = - 3(- 3) - 10 = 9 - 10 = - 1
