Is −4[3(x−7)] and 6(14−2x) equiviant

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other to determine their equality.

-4[3(x - 7)] = 6(14 - 2x)

Distribute the 3 and the 6 into their respective parenthesis.

-4[3x - 21] = 84 - 12x

Distribute the -4 into the brackets.

-12x + 84

Rearrange the equations.

84 - 12x = 84 - 12x

Since the equations come out to be the same thing on both sides so that any value satisfies it, the equations are equivalent.

An isosceles triangle’s altitude will bisect its base. Which expression could be used to find the area of the isosceles triangle

omeli [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{40}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the base is the distance between the points 4+2i and 10+4i, so

$\text{Base}=|10+4i-(4+2i)|=|10+4i-4-2i|=|6+2i|=\sqrt{6^2+2^2}=\\ \\=\sqrt{36+4}=\sqrt{40}$

The middle point of the base is placed at point

$\dfrac{4+2i+10+4i}{2}=\dfrac{6i+14}{2}=7+3i$

The length of the height is the distance between the points 5+9i and 7+3i

$\text{Height}=|5+9i-(7+3i)|=|5+9i-7-3i|=|-2+6i|=\sqrt{(-2)^2+6^2}=\\ \\=\sqrt{4+36}=\sqrt{40}$

So, the area of the triangle is

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \text{Base}\cdot \text{Height}=\dfrac{\sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{40}}{2}$

A 30cm board is cut down to be 25.5 cm. What is the percent decrease in length?

zmey [24]

Okie, so percent decrease is the amount loss divided by the original number and multiplied by 100 to find the percent. This is because you are finding the amount loss in terms of the total amount - percent basically.
The amount loss : 4 feet
4 feet/ 12 feet = .3333 (ratio of how much cut) multiply by 100 --> 33.3% decrease. From 12 feet to 8 feet is a 33.3 % decrease. I hope this helps :-)

The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (2, 4), and the point (3, 6) is on the parabola. what is the equation of the pa

Paraphin [41]

Given:

Vertex ===> (h, k) (2, 4)

The parabola passes through the point: (x, y) ==> (3, 6)

Let's find the equation of a parabola.

To find the equation, use the general equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k):

$y=a(x-h)^2+k_{}$

Where:

(h, k) ==> (2, 4)

(x, y) ==> (3, 6)

Substitute values into the general equation:

$\begin{gathered} 6=a(3-2)^2+4 \\ \\ 6=a(1)^2+4 \\ \\ 6=a+4 \end{gathered}$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$\begin{gathered} 6-4=a+4-4 \\ \\ 2=a \\ \\ a=2 \end{gathered}$

Substitute 2 for a, and input the values of the vertex (h, k) in the general vertex equation:

$y=2(x-2)^2+4$

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is:

$y=2(x-2)^2+4$

ANSWER:

$y=2(x-2)^2+4$
