The two congruent base angles tell us that this is an isosceles triangle, meaning the triangle has two congruent sides. Therefore, we can set these two expressions equal to each other and solve from there.

15x + 7 = 23x - 17

7 = 8x - 17

8x = 24

x = 3

Side = 15(3) + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52

Hope this helps!

What are the coordinates of point B on \overline{AC} such that AB = 1/2 BC

marta [7]

Answer:

C. $B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A(x,y) = (6,-7)$ , $B(x,y) = (x,y)$ and $C(x,y) = (-3,-2)$ . From statement we know that $AB = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC$ , which is equivalent to the following linear algebraic formula:

$B(x,y) -A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [C(x,y)-B(x,y)]$ (1)

$B(x,y)-A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot B(x,y)$

$\frac{3}{2}\cdot B(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)+A(x,y)$

$B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot C(x,y) +\frac{2}{3}\cdot A(x,y)$ (2)

Then, the coordinates of point B on AC are:

$B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-3,-2)+\frac{2}{3}\cdot (6,-7)$

$B(x,y) = \left(-1, -\frac{2}{3}\right)+\left(4, -\frac{14}{3} \right)$

$B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)$

Which means that correct answer is C.

Y-8= - * - 4 y=-* 4 (3,-5) no solution an infinite number of solutions

muminat

Given:

The system of equation is

$y-8=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-4$

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-4$

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Write the given equation in slope intercept form.

The first equation is

$y-8=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-4$

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-4+8$

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+4$ ...(i)

Here, slope is $-\dfrac{1}{3}$ and y-intercept is 4.

The second equation is

$y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-4$ ...(i)

Here, slope is $-\dfrac{1}{3}$ and y-intercept is -4.

Since the slopes of both lines are same but the y-intercepts are different, therefore the given equations represent parallel lines.

Parallel lines never intersect each other. So, the given system of equation has no solution.

Hence, the correct option is B.

The formula equals 16t squared is used to approximate the distance s, in feet, that an object falls freely from rest in t seco

Brut [27]

The equation is actually $h(t)=-16t^2+1437$ . Free fall is always -16t^2 as the position function. We are looking for how long it takes the object to hit the ground. In other words, the height of an object is 0 when it is laying on the ground, so how long (t) did it take to get there? We will then set that position equal to 0 and solve for t. $0=-16t^2+1437$ . If we subtract 1437 from both sides and divide by -16, we have $t^2=89.8125$ . Taking the square root of both sides gives us, rounded to the nearest tenth, t = 9.5 or t=-9.5. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, so -9.5 is out. That means that it took just about 9.5 seconds for the object to fall to the ground from a height of 1437 feet when pulled on by the force of gravity.
