Given QR is congrent to LN and QR = 4x + 2 and LN = x + 7.

So, QR = LN

Hence, we can set up an equation as following:

4x + 2 = x + 7

4x + 2 - x = x + 7 - x Subtract x from each sides.

3x + 2 = 7 By simplifying.

3x + 2 - 2 = 7 - 2 Subtract 2 from each sides.

3x = 5

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{5}{3}$ Divide each sides by 3 to isolate x.

So, $x=\frac{5}{3}$

Next step is to plug in $x=\frac{5}{3}$ in QR = 4x+2 to get length of QR.

So, $QR = 4(\frac{5}{3})+2$

$=(\frac{20}{3})+\frac{2}{1}$ Since 2 can be written as 2/1.

By multiplying the second fraction by the common denominator 3.

$=(\frac{20}{3})+\frac{2*3}{1*3}$

$=(\frac{20}{3})+\frac{6}{3}$ By simplifying the second fraction.

$=(\frac{26}{3})$

So, $QR=\frac{26}{3}$

How too solve (2x-3y)(4x-y) by multiplying polynomials by polynomials

Alex777 [14]

(2x-3y) (4x-y)
Multiply the polynomials using distributive property.
(a+b)(c+d) = ac+ad + bc + bd
(2x-3y) (4x-y) = (2x) (4x) + (2x)(-y) + (-3y)(4x) + (-3y)(-y)
Apply plus/minus rule.
-(-a)=a and -(a)=-a
we get
=8x²-2xy-12xy+3y²
Add like terms
=8x²-14xy+3y²

Answer: 8x² - 14xy + 3y²

The vertices of a square CDEF are C(1,1), D(3,1), E(3,-1) and F(1,-1). What formulas prove that the diagonals are congruent perp

Oxana [17]

To prove that the diagonals are congruent, you need to formula to compute the distance between two points:

$d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_x-B_x)^2 + (A_y-B_y)^2}$

Using that formula, you may prove that $d(C,E) = d(D,F)$ , which means that the two diagonals have the same length.

To prove that they are perpendicular, you need the formula to compute the slope of a segment. The slope, knowing the enpoints, is given by

$m = \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \cfrac{A_y-B_y}{A_x-B_x}$

You can use this formula to prove that

$m_{CE} = -\cfrac{1}{m_{DF}}$

In fact, if one slope is the opposite of the reciprocal of the other, the two segments are perpendicular.

Finally, to prove that they bisect each other, you first need to find the point where they meet. First of all, you need to find the line the segments lie on: the formula is

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$

where $(x_0,y_0)$ is one of the points belonging to the line, and you already know how to find the slope. Then, you find the point of intersection, say A, by solving the system involving the two lines:

$\begin{cases} y= m_{CE}x+q_{CE}\\ y = m_{DF}x+q_{DF} \end{cases}$

And use again the formula for the distance between two points to prove that

$d(A,C) = d(A,D) = d(A,E) = d(A,F)$

2. Let's pretend I'd give you a penny today, two pennies

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:
-f(n+1) = f(n) x 2
-on the 10th day you'd receive $512
-this function works by taking the output of the last input and multiplying it by 2 to find the new output.
-i'd rather take 40 days of this money scheme.

example of use:
f(10) = f(9) x 2
output of f(9) is 256 so f(10) = 256 x 2
