Answer:

X = 6.25 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure:

∵ Two angles in the small flag = the corresponding angles in the large flag

∴ Two flags are similar

∴ Their sides are proportional

∴ $\frac{4}{5}=\frac{5}{x} \\ x=\frac{(5)(5)}{4}=6.25$

∴ x = 6.25 ft

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

$y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0$

This gives

$x=-1$

$y=5$

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

$B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}$

Thus the coordinates of B are:

$B=(-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},2)$

Now this point B lies on the parabola, and therefore it must satisfy the equation $y=a(x+1)(x-5).$

Thus

$2=a((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})+1)((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})-5)$

Therefore

$a=\frac{2}{((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})+1)((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})-5)}$

$\boxed{a=-0.3575}$

Can soembody help me answer this please. PLEASE BE QUICK AND RIGHT !!!

Answer:

A, D, and G

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try each of the answer choices, one by one.

A) Plug x = 2 into each expression and see what we get.

7x + 4 = 7 * 2 + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18

3x + 5 + 4x - 1 = 3 * 2 + 5 + 4 * 2 - 1 = 6 + 5 + 8 - 1 = 18

Since they're both 18 when x = 2, A is true.

B) The statement says that the expressions are <em>only </em>equal for x = 4 and x = 8, but as we saw from A, they're also equal when x = 2, so B is wrong.

C) Let's try to find a counterexample for this by plugging in an odd number into each expression, like 1:

7x + 4 = 7 * 1 + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

3x + 5 + 4x - 1 = 3 * 1 + 5 + 4 * 1 - 1 = 3 + 5 + 4 - 1 = 11

We see that these two expressions are equivalent when x = 1, which is an odd number, so this contradicts the statement that they're <em>only</em> equal when x is even. C is wrong.

D) Let's combine like terms for the expression 3x + 5 + 4x - 1:

3x + 4x + 5 - 1 = 7x + 4

Notice that this is the exact same expression as the first one, which is 7x + 4 so that means for any x, these two expressions will always be the same. D is thus true.

E) This is not true because it's possible that two expressions aren't equivalent but have the same value for a certain odd number and a certain even number. E is incorrect.

F) Obviously, if the two expressions are equivalent, they will give the same answer for any input of x, including when x = 0, so F is wrong.

G) Again, the two expressions will always be equal, including when x = 8, so this statement is true.

The answers are A, D, and G.

Hope this helps!
