B is the midpoint of line segment AC. Line segment AB=2x+4 and line segment AC=40. Find x and Line Segment BC.

1 answer:

8 0

Because B is the midpoint of AC and AB = 2x + 4, BC must also be 2x + 4. So you add 2x + 4 to 2x + 4 to get 4x + 8. Then you set that to be equal to 40. Then you subtract 8 from both sides to get 4x = 32 and divide by 4 so you end up with x = 8.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8xy \sqrt{y} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(64 {x}^{2} {y}^{3} )^{ - \frac{ 1 }{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{(64 {x}^{2} {y}^{3} )^{\frac{ 1 }{2} } } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{64 {x}^{2} {y}^{3}} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{ {(8xy)}^{2} y} } \\ \\ = \frac{1}{8xy \sqrt{y} }$
