The fact that the slopes of HF and GH are negative reciprocals proves that FGH is a right triangle.

The slope of HF is given by
m = (-4-4)/(-3-2) = -8/-5 = 8/5

The slope of GH is given by
m = (-4--9)/(-3-5) = (-4+9)/(-3-5) = 5/-8 = -5/8

These are reciprocals and opposite sides.  This only occurs if the lines are perpendicular; thus they make a right angle.

The slope of GH= -5/8, and the slope of FH=8/5, therefore, GH | FH

If (x-7) is a factor of 2x^2-11x+k, what is the value of k
kondaur [170]

If x-7 =0

Then x =7

Substitute x=7 into f(x):

2(7)^2 - 11(7) + k

= (98-77)+k

= 21+k

Therefore k=-21 because 21+(-21)=0

What is the speed of a baseball that travels 49 meters in 2.4 seconds
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Speed of baseball =20.417m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of a object is the total distance traveled per unit total time taken to cover that distance.

SPEED=\frac{DISTANCE}{TIME}

Given:

             Distance= 49 meter          Time =2.4 seconds

                                    Speed = \frac{49}{2.4}

                                               =  \frac{490}{24}

       Speed of the baseball   =20.417m/s

The speed of baseball is 20.417m/s

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested.1 The seller announced that t
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The uniform distribution parameters are as follows:

                      a = $10,000       b = $15,000

Find:-

Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?

Solution:-

- We will denote a random variable X that defines the bid placed being accepted. The variable X follows a uniform distribution with parameters [a,b].

                                 X ~ U(10,000 , 15,000)

- The probability of $12,000 bid being accepted can be determined by the cdf function of the uniform distribution, while the pmf is as follows:

                                Pmf = 1 / ( b - a )

                                Pmf = 1 / ( 15,000 - 10,000 )

                                Pmf = 1 / ( 5,000 )

                                cdf = \int\limits^x_a {\frac{1}{5000} } \, dy \\\\cdf =  {\frac{y}{5000} }\limits^x_a \\\\P(X

Yin wants to create figure Y′ that is similar to figure Y. Yin begins by reflecting figure Y across the y-axis.
Sholpan [36]

Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2

====================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.

If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.

Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
