Answer:

PQ and RS are parallel to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

for two lines to be parallel slope should be equal
for two lines to be perpendicular product of slope should be -1
_______________________________________________

Lets find the slope of PQ and RS

for PQ P(2, -1), Q(-3,-1), R(-11, 9), S(-7, 9)

slope PQ = (-1 -(-1))/(-3 -2) = (-1 + 1)/5 = 0/5 = 0

Slope RS = (9-9)/(-7 - (-11) ) = 0/4 = 0

Since

slope PQ = slope RS = 0

Hence PQ and RS are parallel to each other

8/5 = 12/x

Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)

V=B+15
V+2B=180
Therefore:
3B+15=180
B=55
V=70

Check:
V+2B=180
70+2(55)=180
70+110=180
180=180. Checks.

How do I find the inverse function of this equation

trapecia [35]

Answer:

y=ln(x/(1-x))

Step-by-step explanation:

y=e^x/(1+e^x)

Cross multiply

y(1+e^x)=e^x

Distribute

y+ye^x=e^x

Put anything with x on with side and everything without x on opposing side:

y=e^x-ye^x

Factor right hand side

y=(1-y)e^x

Divide both sides by (1-y)

y/(1-y)=e^x

Use natural log.

ln(y/(1-y))=x

The inverse is

y=ln(x/(1-x))
