Answer:
30.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Write the ratio for the smaller triangle as 14/10 and the ratio for the larger triangle as x/22.
2. Set the ratios equal to each other.
14/10 = x/22
3. Cross multiply and solve for x.
14 x 22 = 308
10 x x = 10x
4. Divide by 10
x = 30.8
The value of x is 5/8.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
- slope of PQ= x-1/4
- slope of RS = 3/8
The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
slope of PQ = slope of RS
⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8
⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8
⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)
⇒ 32x-8 = 12
⇒ 32x = 20
x = 20/32
x = 5/8

Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
For roots r and s, the quadratic can be factored ...
f(x) = (x -r)(x -s) = x^2 -(r+s)x +rs
Then the value of r^2+s^2 can be determined from the coefficient of x (-(r+s)) and the constant (rs) by ...
r^2 +s^2 = (-(r+s))^2 -2(rs) = (r^2 +2rs +s^2) -2rs = r^2 +s^2
Comparing this to your given equation, we have the coefficient of x as (-2m) and the constant term as (m^2+2m+3). Forming the expression ...
(x-coefficient)^2 -2(constant term)
we get ...
r^2 +s^2 = (-2m)^2 -2(m^2 +2m +3) = 2m^2 -4m -6
r^2 +s^2 = 2(m -1)^2 -8
The minimum value of this quadratic expression is where m=1 and the squared term is zero. That minimum value is -8.
