Segment addition and midpoints.

Answer:

Segment AD is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know AC is 13, BC is 8, and BD is 12. We need the lengths of AB and CD.

To get AB's length, subtract BC's length from AC's length. We should get 5 for the length of AB (13 - 8 = 5).

To get CD's length, subtract BD's length from BC's length. We should get 4 for the length of CD. (12 - 8 = 4)

Now to add AB, BC, and CD. Add 5, 8, and 4 to get 17. (13 + 4 = 17)

The length of Segment AD is 17.

<h3>Answer:  17</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

AC = 13 and BC = 8

Those two facts must mean AB = AC-BC = 13 - 8 = 5.

Similarly, CD = BD - BC = 12 - 8 = 4

So,

AD = AB + BC + CD

AD = 5 + 8 + 4

AD = 17

------------

Another way to approach this problem would be to say

AD = AC + BD - BC

AD = 13 + 12 - 8

AD = 17

This works because when we add up AC with BD, we're double counting the portion from B to C. So this is why we subtract off BC to correct for this overcounting so to speak.

In Exercises 27 and 28, find the domain of the function
Natali5045456 [20]

                                             Question 27

The graph on question 27 indicates that there are three points with the locations such as:

  • (2, 6)
  • (4, 12)
  • (6, 18)

In other words, there are three points that lie on the graph with the x-values such as:

{(2, 6), (4, 12), (6, 18)}

We know that the domain includes the set of x-values.

Hence, the domain of the function is:

  • Domain: {2, 4, 6}

Since the points are not connected between them. In other words, there is not a continuous line.

Thus, the function represented on the graph has a discrete domain.

                                        Question 28

The graph on question 27 indicates that the line segment with the end-points (0, 25) and (7, 20).

Since there is a continuous line between the points from x = 0 to x = 7.

Thus, the domain of the line function is:

  • Domain: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

As the line segment is a continuous line. Thus, the domain is continuous.

svetoff [14.1K]
Pamela is incorrect. When you multiply anything negative by a negative, the product will always be a positive. Because the two negative signs cancel each other out.
