Answer:

The measure of AB is 29

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If a line is drawn from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side to this vertex and bisects it, then </em><em>the sides joining this vertex are equal in lengths</em>

In Δ ABD

∵ Line AC ⊥ side BD

∵ BC = BD = 15

∴ C is the mid-point of The side BD

∴ Line AC is a perpendicular bisector of side BD

→ By using the rule above

∴ AB = AD

∵ AB = 5x - 11

∵ AD = 3x + 5

→ Equate them

∴ 5x - 11 = 3x + 5

→ Add 11 to both sides

∵ 5x - 11 + 11 = 3x + 5 + 11

∴ 5x = 3x + 16

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∵ 5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 16

∴ 2x = 16

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 8

→ Substitute the value x in the expression of side AB

∵ AB = 5(8) - 11

∴ AB = 40 - 11

∴ AB = 29

∴ The measure of AB is 29

Answer:

Page 1 Answer: $\frac{9}{5}$

Page 2 Answer: 175

Page 3 Answer: Alicia used 1.5 gallons to travel a distance of 37.5 miles.

Page 4 Answer: I think its 117 but I could be wrong...

Step-by-step explanation:

Page 1:

We just simplify $\frac{36}{20}$ by dividing and get 9/5

Page 2: Since they want to DOUBLE her amount in her savings, we double her current amount (125) and get 250 by adding.

Next, we subtract 125 from 300 in her checking and get 175.

We use the titles so solve the graph.

Consider the function below. f(x)= x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2 plot the x and y intercepts of the function

dimulka [17.4K]

In the Figure below is shown the graph of this function. We have the following function:

$f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2$

The $y-intercept$ occurs when $x=0$ , so:

$f(0)=(0)^3+2(0)^2-(0)-2=-2$

Therefore, the $y-intercept$ is the given by the point:

$\boxed{(0,-2)}$

From the figure we have three $x-intercepts$ :

$\boxed{P_{1}(-2,0)} \\ \boxed{P_{2}(-1,0)} \\ \boxed{P_{3}(1,0)}$

So, the $x-intercepts$ occur when $y=0$ . Thus, proving this:

$f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2 \\ \\ For \ P_{1}:\\ If \ x=-2, \ y=(-2)^3+2(-2)^2-(-2)-2=0 \\ \\ For \ P_{2}:\\ If \ x=-1, \ y=(-1)^3+2(-1)^2-(-1)-2=0 \\ \\ For \ P_{3}:\\ If \ x=1, \ y=(1)^3+2(1)^2-(1)-2=0$
