Answer:

RS = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS

Hence:

RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + 3x + 2 = 13

2x + 3x - 4 + 2 = 13

5x - 2 = 13

5x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

To find the value of RS

RS = 2x-4

RS = 2 × 3 - 4

RS = 6 - 4

RS = 2

Use an algebraic equation to find the measures of the two angles described below. Begin by letting x represent the degree measur
KiRa [710]

Using complementary angles concept, it is found that the measure of the complement is of 27º.

-------------------------

  • If two angles are complementary, their <u>measures add to 90º</u>, and thus, the complement of an angle x is given by 90 - x.
  • The measure of an <u>angle is 36 degrees greater than it's complement</u>, thus, the measure of the angle is given found using the following equation:

x = 90 - x + 36

2x = 126

x = \frac{126}{2}

x = 63

The complement is: 90 - x = 90 - 63 = 27.

The measure of the complement is of 27º.

Determine if the following equation has "One Solution", "No Solutions", or "Infinite Many Solutions".
Novosadov [1.4K]
First, distribute the 2.
2x+6=6+2x
These are the same, so therefore it is infinitely many, because whatever you plug in for x will work.

You are given a 16-bit binary integer X= (1110 0100 0111 1010)2 . Convert X to decimal if:
podryga [215]

Step-by-step explanation:

a). The decimal numbers is equal to the sum of binary numbers $(b_n)$  times their powers of   $ 2(2^n) .$

That is,

$ b_n \times 2^n + b_{n-1} 2^{n-1}+ ..... + b_02^0 $

$\therefore (1110 \ \ 0100 \ \ 0111 \ \ 1010)_2 $

=  $ (0 \times 2^0) + (1 \times 2^1) + (0 \times 2^2) + (1 \times 2^3) + (1 \times 2^4) + (1 \times 2^5) + (1 \times 2^6)  + ( 0 \times 2^7) + (0 \times 2^8) + (0 \times 2^9) + (1 \times 2^{10} ) $$  + (0 \times 2^{11}) + (0 \times 2^{12}) + (1 \times 2^{13}) + (1 \times 2^{14})+ (1 \times 2^{15})$

= 58490

b).

The left most bit of the number represents the sign of the number. If bit = 1, the number is negative else if the bit is 0, the number is positive.

All the remaining bits (i.e all the bits except the leftmost bit) represent the magnitude of the number.

  Now, X = 1110 0100 0111 1010

  left most bit = 1 => number is negative

  remaining bits Y = 110 0100 0111 1010

  converting Y to decimal => Y = 25722

c).

Check the leftmost bit(lmb) of the number

if leftmost bit is 0 => convert do the binary to decimal conversion

if leftmost bit is 1, follow the following steps

  1. Flip the bits (convert the 0's into 1's and the vice versa)

  2. convert the new number from binary to decimal.

  3. Add a negative sign / multiply by -1

 Now, X = 1110 0100 0111 1010

left most bit = 1;

flipping the bits => Y = 0001 1011 1000 0101

converting Y into decimal => Y = 7045

multiplying Y with -1 => Y = -7045

Therefore, one's complement of X to decimal is -7045

Thus, X = -25722 in decimal.

d).

Check the leftmost bit(lmb) of the number

  if leftmost bit is 0 => convert do the binary to decimal conversion

  if leftmost bit is 1, follow the following steps

  1. Flip the bits (convert the 0's into 1's and the vice versa)

  2. convert the new number from binary to decimal.

  3. Add 1 to the converted number

  4. Add a negative sign / multiply by -1

Now, X = 1110 0100 0111 1010

left most bit = 1;

flipping the bits => Y = 0001 1011 1000 0101

converting Y into decimal => Y = 7045

Adding 1 to Y => Y = 7046

multiplying Y with -1 => Y = -7046

Thus, two's complement of X to decimal is -7046
