Answer:

x = 3√7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the right triangle given in the picture,

Altitude or height of the triangle (AD) = x

Base or hypotenuse of the given triangle (BC) = 16

Length of segment BD = 16 - 7 = 9

By using geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,

\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{DC}{AD}

(AD)² = (BD)(CD)

x² = 9×7

x = √63

x = 3√7

I NEED THIS ASAP! PLEASE HELP! Part A: Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = 4-X and
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A.  We have two lines:  y = 2-x   and   y = 4x+3 Given two simultaneous equations that are both required to be true.. the solution is the points where the lines cross...  Which is where the two equations are equal..  Thus the solution that works for both equations is when 2-x = 4x+3 because where that is true is where the two lines will cross and that is the common point that satisfies both equations.   B.  2-x = 4x+3   x     2-x      4x+3

______________

-3     5       -9

-2     4       -5

-1     3       -1

0     2        3

1     1        7

2     0      11

3    -1      15

The table shows that none of the integers from [-3,3] work because in no case does

2-x = 4x+3   To find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to the form x=n 2-x = 4x+3 2 -x + x = 4x + x +3 2 = 5x + 3 2-3 = 5x +3-3 5x = -1 x = -1/5   The only point that satisfies both equations is where x = -1/5 Find y:   y = 2-x  = 2 - (-1/5) = 2 + 1/5 = 10/5 + 1/5 = 11/5 Verify we get the same in the other equation y = 4x + 3   =  4(-1/5) + 3 = -4/5 + 15/5 = 11/5   Thus the only actual solution, being the point where the lines cross, is the point (-1/5, 11/5)   C.  To solve graphically  2-x=4x+3 we would graph both lines...   y = 2-x  and   y = 4x+3 The point on the graph where the lines cross is the solution to the system of equations ... [It should be, as shown above, the point (-1/5, 11/5)]   To graph y = 2-x   make a table.... We have already done this in part B   x     2-x                x    4x+3 _______              ________ -1    3                   -1      -1  0    2                    0       3  1    1                    1       7   Just graph the points on a cartesian coordinate system and draw the two lines.  The solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.  

Hope this helps.
