Answer:

The length of the line segment AC is equal to 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle above is an isosceles triangle, In an Isosceles triangle the two angles; B and C are the same, hence the two sides; AB and AC are also the same.

AB=2x and AC= 3x - 7

AB = AC

which implies;

2x = 3x - 7

subtract 3x from both-side of the equation

2x - 3x = 3x -3x -7

-x = -7

Multiply through by -1

x = 7

But we were ask to find the the length of the line segment AC

AC = 3x - 7

substituting x = 7 into the above equation will yield;

AC = 3(7) - 7 = 21 - 7 =14

Therefore the length of the line segment AC is equal to 14

Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$y = - \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2} + \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

$r = \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}$

is a parabola.

We use the relations

${r}^{2} = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

and

$y = r \sin \theta$

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

$r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10$

$r(1+ \sin \theta) = 5$

Expand :

$r+ r\sin \theta= 5$

We now substitute to get:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} } + y = 5$

This means that:

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} }=5 - y$

Square:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =(5 - y)^{2}$

Expand:

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} =25 - 10y + {y}^{2}$

${x}^{2} =25 - 10y$

${x}^{2} - 25 = - 10y$

$y = - \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10} + \frac{5}{2}$

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

Given the graph of f(x), find each of the following:

Y_Kistochka [10]

The value of the function at x = -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3 will be -4, 3, 2, -1, and 0, respectively.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function is an assertion, concept, or principle that establishes an association between two variables. Functions may be found throughout mathematics and are essential for the development of significant links.

From the graph of f(x), then the value of the function at x = -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3 will be given as,

x f(x) Feedback

-1 -4 Point is in the fourth quadrant

0 3 Point is in the y-axis

1 2 Point is in the first quadrant

2 -1 Point is in the second quadrant

3 0 Point is in the x-axis

More about the function link is given below.

How do I solve this problem? I need to find the volume of this composite figure.

andrey2020 [161]

Step-by-step explanation:

V = (12*4*5) + (2*3*5) + (5*3*5) + (12*4*5)

V = 240 + 30 + 75 + 240

V = 585 cm^3

What is the equation of the line with the same slope as the equation x-4y=3 and the y-intercept(0,-8)?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

y = 1/4x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line

x-4y =3

Subtract x from each side

x-4y -x = -x+3

-4y = -x+3

Divide each side by -4

-4y/-4 = -x/-4 +3/-4

y = 1/4 x -3/4

This is in the form y= mx+b where the slope is m and the y intercept is b

The slope is 1/4

We want the same slope

y = 1/4x +b

we know the y intercept is -8

y = 1/4x -8
