Answer:

x = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, intercepts made by parallel lines on the transversals are in proportion.

\therefore \frac{AB}{BC} =\frac{EF}{FG}... (1)

AB = BC.... (given)

\implies \frac{AB}{BC} = 1..... (2)

From equations (1) & (2)

1 =\frac{EF}{FG}

{FG}={EF}

Therefore,

7x - 9 = 2x + 7

7x - 2x = 9 + 7

5x = 16

x = 16/5

x = 3.2

Find II 2e-3f II^2 assuming that e & f are unit vectors such that II e +f II=sqrt(3/2).
sergey [27]

<span>We are given that ||e|| = 1, ||f|| = 1. </span>

<span>Since ||e + f|| = sqrt(3/2), we have </span>
<span>3/2 = (e + f) dot (e + f) </span>
<span>= (e dot e) + 2(e dot f) + (f dot f) </span>
<span>= ||e||^2 + 2(e dot f) + ||f||^2 </span>
<span>= 1^2 + 2(e dot f) + 1^2 </span>
<span>= 2 + 2(e dot f). </span>

<span>So e dot f = -1/4. </span>

<span>Therefore, </span>
<span>||2e - 3f||^2 = (2e - 3f) dot (2e - 3f) </span>
<span>= 4(e dot e) - 12(e dot f) + 9(f dot f) </span>
<span>= 4||e||^2 - 12(e dot f) + 9||f||^2 </span>
<span>= 4(1)^2 - 12(-1/4) + 9(1)^2 </span>
<span>= 4 + 3 + 9 </span>
<span>= 16. </span>

A cake recipe calls for 1 cup of oil. Jean needs to make 12 cakes for her school bake sale. How many quarts of oil will Jean nee
kipiarov [429]
Hey there,

Each cake recipe would call for \boxed{1} cup of oil.

So if she is going to make 12 cakes, this would include that she
would need to use 12 cups of oil.

\boxed{12} would be your answer!

Hope this helps.

I need help please can someone help
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

A 6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Surface Area of a Rectangle Prism and Square Prism [Cube] is below:

S.A = 2hw + 2bw + 2hb

Since 1 is the length of all edges, and also because all edges are congruent on a cube, you plug in 1 for the <em>height</em>, <em>width</em><em>,</em><em> </em>and<em> </em><em>base</em>:

6 = 2[1][1] + 2[1][1] + 2[1][1]

2 2 2

Or, you can just simply plug in 1 into the formula the exercise gave you and be done with it.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
