Pentagons STUVW and XYZAB are similar with XY=32, YZ=36, ST= 4c + 2 and TU= 5c + 2, find the length of ST

Answer:

ST = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pentagons are similar, the ratio between a pair of sides of one pentagon is the same ratio for the similar pair of sides of the second pentagon, so we have that:

XY / YZ = ST / TU

32 / 36 = (4c + 2) / (5c + 2)

8 / 9 = (4c + 2) / (5c + 2)

8*(5c + 2) = 9*(4c + 2)

40c + 16 = 36c + 18

4c = 2

c = 0.5

So the length of ST is:

ST = 4c + 2 = 4*0.5 + 2 = 4

Whats the difference between linear equations and quadratic equation
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation in two variables doesn't involve any power higher than one for either variable. It has the general form Ax + By + C = 0, where A, B and C are constants. ... A quadratic equation, on the other hand, involves one of the variables raised to the second power. It has the general form y = ax2 + bx + c

The graph of a quadratic function touches, but does not cross, the x-axis at x = 4. Which function represents this situation?
jek_recluse [69]
When a zero of a function does not cross the x-axis but touches it, this means that the zero is a "double root". It has two of the same factor (x - 4)^2 and two of the same zeros, x = 4 and x = 4
f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 16 would be the function with a double root at 4
