Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the diagonals of the rectangle are congruent,

AC = BD

By using formula to calculate the distance between two points,

Distance between two points = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Distance between A(0, -3) and C(2, 8),

AC = $\sqrt{(8+3)^2+(2-0)^2}$

= $\sqrt{125}$

= $5\sqrt{5}$

Similarly, distance between two points B(-4, 0) and D(6, 5),

BD = $\sqrt{(5-0)^2+(6+4)^2}$

= $\sqrt{125}$

= $5\sqrt{5}$

Therefore, both the diagonals are congruent.

Hence, given quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

A nest of ants has been growing exponentially in such a way that its population, P, as a function of w weeks is given by P(w)=24

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

0.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A nest of ant is represented by the exponential growth function :

P(w)=24,000(1.063)^w

Where w = number of weeks

Recall :

Growth function is generally represented as :

P(t) = A(1 + r)^t

Where ; A is the initial population figure; r = growth rate and t = time

Hence, the growth rate per week of the function given is :

(1 + r) = 1.063

r = 1.063 - 1

r = 0.063

Number of days in a week = 7

Hence, growth rate per day = r /7

0.063 / 7

= 0.009

(0.009 * 100%) = 0.9%

4 times a number is 32 less than the square of that number. Find the negative solution.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

The negative solution is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = a number

4x = x² - 32 (4 times a number is 32 less than the square of that number)

2. Let's solve for x and find the negative solution:

4x = x² - 32

-x² + 4x + 32 = 0

x² - 4x - 32 = 0 (Multiplying by - 1)

(x - 8) (x + 4) = 0

(x₁ - 8) = 0

(x₂ + 4) = 0

x₁ = 8

x₂ = -4

The negative solution is -4

Given the function f(x) = 4(2)x, section a is from x = 1 to x = 2 and section b is from x = 3 to x = 4. part

Aliun [14]

A. Average rate of change for x=1 to 2: 4(2²)-4(2)=16-8=8; from x=3 to 4: 4(2⁴)-4(2³)=64-32=32.
b. Section b is 32/8=4 times greater. As the exponent of 2 increases, the gaps between consecutive powers of 2 gets wider and therefore the rate of change is greater.

A. 15 B. 10 C. 3/8 D. 1/8

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the theoretical probability is a fancy term for an even amount of both, which would be 20 flips landing on H, and 20 landing on T. Since the question is asking what's the difference between the theoretical probability and the experimental results, you'd take 20(theoretical number of flips that land on H) and subtract 15 (experiment results for the amount of flips that land on H), and 20 - 15 = 5. Now that you know the difference is 5, you would divide 5 by 40 to find the answer. 5/40 = 1/8 when you simplify, making the answer D.
