What is the value of hin the figure below? In this diagram, ABAD ~ ACBD.

Mathematics
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  F.  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.

  BD/DE = AD/BD

  h/4 = 16/h

  h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h

  h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:

BC = √(AC·DC)

BA = √(AC·AD)

Find the perimeter of a field that has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A field is basically a rectangle, so to find the perimeter of our field we are using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

p=2(l+w)

where

p is the perimeter

l is the length

w is the width

We know from our problem that the field has length 2/x + 1 and width 5/x^2 -1, so l=\frac{2}{x+1} and w=\frac{5}{x^2-1}.

Replacing values:

p=2(l+w)

p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{x^2-1})

Notice that the denominator of the second fraction is a difference of squares, so we can factor it using the formula a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) where a is the first term and b is the second term. We can infer that a=x^2 and b=1^2. So, x^2-1=(x+1)(x-1). Replacing that:

p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{x^2-1})

p=2(\frac{2}{x+1} +\frac{5}{(x+1)(x-1})

We can see that the common denominator of our fractions is (x+1)(x-1). Now we can simplify our fraction using the common denominator:

p=2(\frac{2(x-1)+5}{(x+1)(x-1)} )

p=2(\frac{2x-2+5}{(x+1)(x-1)} )

p=2(\frac{2x+3}{(x+1)(x-1)} )

p=\frac{4x+6}{(x+1)(x-1)}

We can conclude that the perimeter of the field is D)4x + 6/(x + 1)(x - 1).

Write the equation of the line fully simplified slope-intercept form.​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

y=-4/10x+ 5 or y=-0.4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y=mx+b. The "m" is the slope, the "x" is constant, and "b" is your y-intercept.

1. Figure out your slope:

Easiest way to do this is by using rise/run. You. take your point to the left and count how many spaces up or down it is from the second point, and then repeat that across the x-axis.

2. Determine whether it is positive or negative

A line with a positive slope is going to be angled upward and a line with a negative slope will be angled downward

3. Find the y-intercept

Simply look at the graph and find where the line crosses the y-axis

4. Plug everything into the equation

Once you do Steps 1-3, just plug everything in and you're done! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

What is the complete factorization of the polynomial function over the set of complex numbers?
quester [9]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x³-5x²+4x-20                 1. Just group randomly

f(x)=x²(x-5)+4(x-5)                2. Factor the groupings

f(x)=(x²+4)(x-5)                      

<u>f(x)=(x-2)(x+2)(x-5)</u>                3. Factor the difference of two squares
