Answer:

A 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts on the left have the same ratio as parts on the right.

... x/(x+5) = (x -2)/(x +1)

Multiplying by (x+5)(x+1), we get

... x(x +1) = (x -2)(x +5)

... x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 0 = 2x -10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract x²+x

... 0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5

Which explanation about figures is correct? * A. All rhombuses are parallelograms. Parallelograms have 2 pairs of parallel sides
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. All rhombuses are parallelograms. Parallelograms have 2 pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, all rhombuses have 2 pairs of parallel sides

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has all 4 sides, it has equal opposite angles and perpendicular diagonals that bisect one another  as well as having a pair of opposite parallel sides making it a parallelogram

A rhombus is similar to a parallelogram which also has equal opposite and parallel sided and equal opposite angles and the diagonals of a parallelogram also bisect each other.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the  midpoint of side YZ.

Triangle XYZ is cut by line segment AB. Point A is the midpoint of side XZ and point B is the midpoint of side YZ. The length of XY is (5x - 7), the length of AB is (x + 1), and the lengths of XA and ZA are (2x - 2). The lengths of YB and BZ are congruent.

What is AX ?

2 units

4 units

6 units

8 units

From the figure attached,

XYZ is a triangle having A and B as the midpoints of the sides XZ and YZ.

By the theorem of midpoints,

AB = \frac{1}{2}\text{(XY)}

Since AB = (x + 1) and XY = (5x - 7)

(x + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(5x-7)

2x + 2 = 5x - 7

5x - 2x = 2 + 7

3x = 9

x = 3

Therefore, side AB = 3 + 1 = 4 units

Side XY = (5x - 7)

             = 15 - 7

             = 8 units

Side XA = 2(x - 1)

              = 4 units

Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.

Solve the equations.<br> a. (x − 2)^2 = 9<br> b. 3(x − 2)^2 = 9<br> c. 6 = 24(x + 1)^2
seropon [69]

Answer: a) x = 5 or -1 b) x = √3+2

c) x = -1/2 or -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (x − 2)² = 9

First step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square

√ (x − 2)² = √9

x-2 = +-3

x = +3+2

x = 5 and;

x = -3+2

x = -1

x = 5 or -1

b) 3(x-2)² = 9

First we divide both sides by 3 to get;

(x-2)² = 9/3

(x-2)² = 3

Second step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square

√(x-2)² = √3

x-2 = √3

x = √3+2

c) 6 = 24(x+1)²

Dividing both sides by 24, we have

6/24 = (x+1)²

1/4 = (x+1)²

Taking the square root of both sides we have

√1/4 = √(x+1)²

= +-1/2 = x+1

x = +1/2-1 = -1/2 and;

x = -1/2-1 = -3/2

x = -1/2 or -3/2

Sinxcosxtanx=1-cos^2x
ycow [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

sin  x \: cos  x \: tanx = 1 -  {cos}^{2} x \\ LHS \\= sin  x \: cos  x \: tanx \\  =sin  x \: cos  x \: \times  \frac{sin  x}{cos  x}  \\  = sin  x \: \times  \frac{sin  x}{1} \\  ={sin}^{2}  x \\  = 1 -  {cos}^{2} x \\  = RHS \\  \therefore \: sin  x \: cos  x \: tanx = 1 -  {cos}^{2} x \\ Hence \: Proved.
