Answer:

8 is the length of JB

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Equations, Congruence</u>

1) We need to find out an equation to make based on the lengths that are given. ΔJMB is congruent to ΔKMB because of Side-Angle-Side:

  • JB is congruent to BK
  • Angle MBK would be a right angle, since it is supplementary to the right angle JBM. Since both are right angles they are congruent.
  • Both triangles have the side BM. Using the reflexive property, BM is congruent to itself, so there you go --> Side-Angle-Side

2) Now since both triangles are congruent, we can make the equation that the length of JM is congruent to the length of MK, using the fact that: If triangles are congruent, then corresponding parts are congruent.

3) This means that 16x -24 = 4x

Subtract 16x from both sides : -24 = -12x

Divide by -12 on both sides and get x = 2

4) Substitute x into the length of JB (16x-24)

16(2)-24 = 32-24 = 8

5) Therefore, the length of JB is 8

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Check all that apply.
jonny [76]
First, we find the slope of the given line.

<span>3x − 4y = 7

-4y = -3x + 7

y = (3/4)x - 7/4

The slope of the given line is 3/4.
The slope of the parallel line is also 3/4.

Now we need the equation of the line that has slope 3/4 and passes through point (-4, -2),

We use the point-slope form of the equation of a line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = (3/4)(x - (-4))

y + 2 = (3/4)(x + 4)     <---- check option E. Is the fraction 3/4 not there?

y + 2 = (3/4)x + 3

y = (3/4)x + 1

4y = 3x + 4

3x - 4y = -4    <------ this is choice B.

A bacteria culture contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After one hour the population has increased
xenn [34]
We know it begins at 100. If we use a*b^t, then 100 is our a. 100*b^t. We can now divide 480 by 100. This is 4.8. 4.8 is b. f(t) = 100(4.8)^t

Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4. Will P be closer to A or B? Why
Pani-rosa [81]
B because the distance between p to b is 1/4 of the line and the distance between p to a is 3/4 of the line

What is the range of y = sinx in the interval - π ≤ x ≤ 0?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

-1 \le y \le 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be y = \sin x, the range of the function corresponds to the set of values of y. The sine function is a bounded function between -1 and 1. Hence, the range of the function is:

-1 \le y \le 1
