Solution:

In Parallelogram B CDE

BC= DE, BC ║DE

CD = BE , CD ║BE

Also, ∠B=∠D and ∠C=∠E →→In a parallelogram opposite sides are equal and parallel, as well as opposite angles are equal.Diagonals Bisect each other.

∠B= 60° , ∠C ED= 40°

CE is a transversal and BC║DE.

∠CED=∠BCE = 40° →→Alternate interior angles

In Δ BCE

∠B + ∠BCE + ∠BEC= 180°→→→Angle sum property of Triangle.

60° + 40° + ∠ B E C= 180°

100° + ∠BEC=180°

∠BEC= 180° -100°

∠BEC= 80°

Find an m > 0 such that the the equation x^4−(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0 has four real solutions that form an arithmetic sequence.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The value of m is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation,

$x^4-(3m+2)x^2+m^2=0$

$x^4+0x^3-(3m+2)x^2+0x+m^2=0$

Let the roots of the equation are a-3b, a-b, a+b and a + 3b, ( they must be form an AP )

Thus, we can write,

$a-3b+a-b+a+b+a+3b=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^3}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}$

$=\frac{0}{1}=0$

$\implies a=0----(1)$

$(-3b)(-b)+(-b)(b)+(b)(3b)+(3b)(-3b)+(-b)(3b)+(-3b)(b)=\frac{\text{coefficient of }x^2}{\text{coefficient of }x^4}}$

$=\frac{-3m-2}{1}$

$3b^2-b^2+3b^2-9b^2-3b^2-3b^2=-3m-2$

$-10b^2=-3m-2$

$\implies b^2=\frac{3m+2}{10}-----(2)$

$(-3b)(-b)(b)(3b)=\frac{\text{Constant term}}{\text{coefficient of}x^4}= m^2$

$9b^4=m^2$

$9(\frac{3m+2}{10})^2=m^2$

$9(\frac{9m^2+4+12m}{100})=m^2$

$81m^2+36+108m=100m^2$

$-19m^2+108m+36=0$

$19m^2-108m-36=0$

$19m^2-114m+6m-36=0$

$19m(m-6)+6(m-6)=0$

$(19m+6)(m-6)=0$

$\implies m=-\frac{6}{19}\text{ or }m=6$

But m > 0,

Hence, the value of m is 6.

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints(-2,-2) and (4,6)

Ann [662]

Answer:

The midpoint of points $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ is $(1,2)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ . We need to find the midpoint of the line segment.

The formula of finding midpoints between the point $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ is

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}),(\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\ Equation(1)$

W have points $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-2)$ . And $(x_2,y_2)=(4,6)$

Let us plug the value in Equation (1)

$(\frac{-2+4}{2} ),(\frac{-2+6}{2})$

$(\frac{2}{2}),(\frac{4}{2})\\ \\(1,2)$

So, the midpoint of points $(-2,-2)\ and\ (4,6)$ is $(1,2)$ .
