Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that for a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the square of the remaining sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side (that is side opposite to the 90° angle).

In right angle triangle ABD:

AB² = AD² + BD² (1)

In right angle triangle ACD:

AC² = AD² + CD² (2)

Also:

AC² + AB² = BC² (3)

But BC = BD + CD

AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)² (4)

Adding equation 1 and 2 gives:

AB² + AC² = (AD² + BD²) + (AD² + CD²)

AB² + AC² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

substituting AC² + AB² = (BD + CD)²:

(BD + CD)² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

BD² + 2(BD)(CD)+ CD² = 2AD² + BD² + CD²

2AD² = 2(BD)(CD)

AD² = BD * CD

Devon purchased a new car valued at $16,000 that depreciated continuously at a rate of 35%. Its current value is $2,000. The equ

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Cost =16000
rate of depreciation = 35%
written down value = 2000
depreciation for one year =16000*35% = 5600
5600*2 = 11200+5600*6\12 = 2000
the car is 2.5 years old. It has been depreciated for 2 whole years and half years.

Select the rational expression that is equivalent to the given expression below. 4/x-3

Aliun [14]

To find the correct option we need to calculate each of the given options.
Option (1):
$\frac{x+2}{x-3} / \frac{4}{x+2} = \frac{x+2}{x-3} * \frac{x+2}{4} = \frac{(x+2)^2}{4(x-3)}$

Option (2):
$\frac{x+2}{x-3} * \frac{4}{x+2} = \frac{4}{x-3}$

Option (3):
$\frac{x+2}{x-3} - \frac{4}{x+2} = \frac{(x+2)^2-4(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+2)}$

option (4)
$\frac{x+2}{x-3} + \frac{4}{x+2} = \frac{(x+2)^2+4(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+2)}$

So, the correct answer is option (2)

Is 3(x + 1)2 = (3x + 3)2 an identity? Explain and show your reasoning.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, $3(x + 1)2 = (3x + 3)2$ , would be an identity if the equation remains true regardless of the value of x we choose to plug in into the equation.
