E is the midpoint of DF, DE = 2x + 4, and EF = 3x + 1. Find DE, EF, and DF.

1 answer:

8 0

When there is a midpoint in a line segment, the two segments that are then produced have to be equal. So that means that because E is a midpoint of DF, DE=EF.
Set up the equation.
DE=EF
2x+4=3x+1
Then solve for x.
x=3
Then plug it back in the equation to find DE and EF.
DE=2x+4=2(3)+4=10
Because DE=EF then EF is also 10.
DF is made from the addition of DE and EF so DF is twice EF.
DF= 20

DE= 10, EF= 10, DF= 20

Hope this helps.

Plese help for brainlist !!!

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

{2, 4, 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain is the interval or set of valid x (input) values.

the range is the interval or set of valid y (result) values.

all we need to do is use the given x values in the functional definition and collect the result values. that is the range.

x = -1

y = 2×-1 + 4 = 2

x = 0

y = 2×0 + 4 = 4

x = 1

y = 2×1 + 4 = 6

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s i

kicyunya [14]

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.

block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2

block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3

block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4

block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5

and so on.

Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2$

Now,

$1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016$

which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.

In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224$

numbers, and their sum is

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400$

This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of $1+9\times2=19$ .

So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.

Prove that: 16sin20.sin40.sin60.sin80=3

olga nikolaevna [1]

to prove that 6720. Sin 40. Sin 60. 80 equals 3 you'd have to divide 16 by 20 multiply subtract both sides by 3 which is 24x + 6x + 8x + -14 equals 40 40 + 20 equals 16 - -40 equals 80 which equals to 3
