If triangle abc is similar to triangle edc find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BC}{DC} = \frac{AC}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{3x-5}{32} = \frac{5x-5}{56} ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

consider the line y= 2/3x-0. Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (8, 4).
tresset_1 [31]
Point-slope form of a line: we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope "m".
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)

slope intercept form :
y=m+b

m=slope

If the line is parallel to y=2/3 x-0, the line will have the same slope, therefore the slope will be: 2/3.

Data:
(8,4)
m=2/3

y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-4=2/3(x-8)
y-4=2/3 x-16/3
y=2/3 x-16/3+4
y=2/3 x-4/3  (slope intercept form)

Answer: The equation of the line would be: y=2/3 x-4/3.


if we have the next slope "m",then the perendicular slope will be:
m´=-1/m

We have this equation: y=2/3 x+0; the slope is: m=2/3.

The perpendicular slope will be: m`=-1/(2/3)=-3/2

And the equation of the perpendicular line to : y=2/3 x+0, given the point (8,4) will be:

y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-4=-3/2 (x-8)
y-4=-3/2 x+12
y=-3/2x + 12+4
y=-3/2x+16

answer: the perpendicular line to y=2/3 x+0 , given the point (8,4) will be:
y=-3/2 x+16

9. Consider the function f(x) = x² + 3x – 4.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

  c.  f(x) = (x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you're familiar with the product of two binomials:

  (x +a)(x +b) = x² + (a+b)x + ab

you know that the constants in the binomial factors must ...

  • have a product of -4
  • have a sum of +3

__

All of the choices except B have binomial constants that have a product of -4.

In order, the sums of the remaining choices are ...

  A: 1-4 = -3

  C: 4-1 = 3 . . . . this is the correct choice

  D: -2+2 = 0

A line is parallel to y = 2x – 8 and
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is parallel to another, it shares the same slope.

Our original line is y=2x-8, and it is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

This means that our slope is 2 because m represents the slope.

The slope of our parallel line will then also be 2.

<u>We can begin to plug that into point-slope form which is:</u>

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

This is where (x1, y1) is a point the line intersects, and m is the slope.

<u>Plugging in the slope, we'll have:</u>

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

We also know it intersects the point (-4, -1)

We can plug this into our equation as well.

y - (-1) = m(x - (-4))

y+1=2(x+4)

<u>Now, we can simplify it into slope-intercept form:</u>

y+1=2(x+4)

Distribute

y+1=2x+8

Subtract 1 from both sides

y=2x+8-1

y=2x+7
