Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Point H is on line segment GI, then GH+HI = GI

Given the following parameters

GH = x + 6,

HI = x + 5, and

GI = 3x + 8

To determine the length of GH, we need to get the value of x first. To get x we will substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

x+6+(x+5) = 3x+8

2x+11 = 3x+8

collect like terms;

2x-3x = 8-11

-x = -3

divide both sides by -1;

-x/-1 = -3/-1

x = 3

Since GH = x+6

GH = 3+6

GH = 9

<em>Hence the numerical length of GH is 9</em>

A ball is thrown into the air. The height in feet of the ball can be modeled by the equation h = -16t2 + 20t + 6 where t is the

makkiz [27]

$f(t)=h=-16t^2+20t+6

$

a=-16, b=20, c =6

Δ= $b^2-4ac=20^2-4*(-16)*6=400+384=784$

$\sqrt{Δ}=\sqrt{784}=28$

max:

$p=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{20}{-32}=\frac{20}{32}=\frac{5}{8}$

max heigh: $h=-16(\frac{5}{8})^2+20*\frac{5}{8}+6=-16\frac{25}{64}+\frac{100}{8}+6$

$h=-\frac{25}{4}+\frac{50}{4}+6=\frac{-25+50+24}{4}=\frac{49}{4}$

$h=\frac{49}{4}$ at $t=\frac{5}{8}s$

will fall down at t:

$t=\frac{-20-28}{-32}=\frac{-48}{-32}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

$t=1.5s$

Ashley took $20 out on her savings account each week on Friday. How many weeks ago did she have at least $250 in her account

tatuchka [14]

If she took $20 out of her savings account, given the information, she could easily have no money remaining now. Given this, we'll assume the current value of her account is the minimum it can be. Now you just need to find how many times her withdrawal can factor into the original amount, $250. Therefore, t=250/20= 12.5. Since it's asking for a number of weeks, the answer can't be a decimal, so your final answer is 12 weeks.

The sum of two numbers it 226. their differences is 200. what are the numbers?

jekas [21]

<span>To get the bigger number, divide by 2 the sum of the given sum of the numbers and their difference. In this case-
(226 + 200)/2 = 426/2 = 213.
To get the smaller number, divide by 2 the difference of the given sum of the numbers and their difference. In this case -
(226 - 200)/2 = 26/2 =13.
The two numbers are 213 and 13.
The bigger number is 213</span>
