1. Segment A'B' is parallel to segment AB. What is the length of segment BB'?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB is parallel to A'B', therefore,

CB/CB' = CA/CA'

CB' = 7

CB = CB' + BB' = 7 + BB'

CA' = 6

CA = CA' + AA' = 6 + 3 = 9

Plug in the values

(7 + BB')/7 = 9/6

(7 + BB')/7 = 3/2

Cross multiply

2(7 + BB') = 7(3)

14 + 2BB' = 21

Subtract 14 from both sides

2BB' = 21 - 14

2BB' = 7

Divide both sides by 2

BB' = 7/2

BB' = 3.5

Give an example of a polynomial that has the asymptotes of x=5 and y=0.5
BaLLatris [955]
(x²+4x+3)/2(x²-10x+25)

the horizontal asymptote when the numerator and the denominator have the same degree (in this case, both of a degree of 2) is ration of the coefficients of the numerator and denominator. In this case, the coefficient for numerator x² is 1, and the coefficient for the denominator 2x² is 2, so the horizontal asymptote is y=1/2=0.5

the vertical asymptote is the x value. the denominator cannot be zero, if x²-10x+25=0, x would be 5, so the vertical asymptote is x=5 

this is just one example. There can be others:
(2x²+5x+2)/[(4x-7)(x-5)]  for another example, but this example has a second vertical asymptote 4x-7=0 =>x=7/4

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-9, -3) and (-7,7).
lora16 [44]

Answer:

y - 7 = 5(x + 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope m  (7--3)/ (-7- -9)

= 10 / 2 = 5.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Using the point (-7, 7):

y - 7 = 5(x + 7).

The perimeter of a rectangle is 70 cm. The ratio of length to width is 2:5. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

length = 10 cm; width = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the length 2x and the width 5x. Since perimeter can be calculated by multiplying the sum of the length and width by 2 we can write:

2 * (2x + 5x) = 70

2 * (7x) = 70

7x = 35

x = 5 which means the length is 2 * 5 = 10 and the width is 5 * 5 = 25.
