The correct answer is
18 CM
because RX = 2/3(27) = 18
(Enter 18 in the box)

Answer:

18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A median of a triangle is a line segment from one vertex to the mid point on the opposite side of the triangle.

A centroid of a triangle is defined as the point where the three medians of the triangle meet. It is also called the center of gravity of the triangle.

In the Triangle RST, point X is the centroid where the medians RW, TV and SU intersect.

One Special Property of the centroid is that it divides each median in the ratio 2:1. (with the larger part being the part from the altitude)

Given RW =27

$RX=\frac{2}{3}RW\\ =\frac{2}{3}X27=18cm$

Answer:

A) See attached for graph.

B) (-3, 0) (0, 0) (18, 0)

C) (-3, 0) ∪ [3, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Piecewise functions have multiple pieces of curves/lines where each piece corresponds to its definition over an interval.

Given piecewise function:

$g(x)=\begin{cases}x^3-9x \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \textsf{if }x < 3\\-\log_4(x-2)+2 \quad \textsf{if }x\geq 3\end{cases}$

Therefore, the function has two definitions:

$g(x)=x^3-9x \quad \textsf{when x is less than 3}$

$g(x)=-\log_4(x-2)+2 \quad \textsf{when x is more than or equal to 3}$

When graphing piecewise functions:

Use an open circle where the value of x is not included in the interval.
Use a closed circle where the value of x is included in the interval.
Use an arrow to show that the function continues indefinitely.

First piece of function

Substitute the endpoint of the interval into the corresponding function:

$\implies g(3)=(3)^3-9(3)=0 \implies (3,0)$

Place an open circle at point (3, 0).

Graph the cubic curve, adding an arrow at the other endpoint to show it continues indefinitely as x → -∞.

Second piece of function

Substitute the endpoint of the interval into the corresponding function:

$\implies g(3)=-\log_4(3-2)+2=2 \implies (3,2)$

Place an closed circle at point (3, 2).

Graph the curve, adding an arrow at the other endpoint to show it continues indefinitely as x → ∞.

See attached for graph.

The x-intercepts are where the curve crosses the x-axis, so when y = 0.

Set the first piece of the function to zero and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}g(x) & = 0\\\implies x^3-9x & = 0\\x(x^2-9) & = 0\\\\\implies x^2-9 & = 0 \quad \quad \quad \implies x=0\\x^2 & = 9\\\ x & = \pm 3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, as x < 3, the x-intercepts are (-3, 0) and (0, 0) for the first piece.

Set the second piece to zero and solve for x:

$\begin{aligned}\implies g(x) & =0\\-\log_4(x-2)+2 & =0\\\log_4(x-2) & =2\end{aligned}$

$\textsf{Apply log law}: \quad \log_ab=c \iff a^c=b$

$\begin{aligned}\implies 4^2&=x-2\\x & = 16+2\\x & = 18 \end{aligned}$

Therefore, the x-intercept for the second piece is (18, 0).

So the x-intercepts for the piecewise function are (-3, 0), (0, 0) and (18, 0).

From the graph from part A, and the calculated x-intercepts from part B, the function g(x) is positive between the intervals -3 < x < 0 and 3 ≤ x < 18.

Interval notation: (-3, 0) ∪ [3, 18)

Given segments AB and CD intersect at E.

nata0808 [166]

The length of a segment is the distance between its endpoints.

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$
AB and CD are not congruent
AB does not bisect CD
CD does not bisect AB

(a) Length of AB

We have:

$\mathbf{A = (1,2)}$

$\mathbf{B = (4,5)}$

The length of AB is calculated using the following distance formula

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}}$

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{18}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$

(b) Are AB and CD congruent

First, we calculate the length of CD using:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

Where:

$\mathbf{C = (2, 4)}$

$\mathbf{D = (2, 1)}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(2 -2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}}$

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{9}}$

$\mathbf{CD = 3}$

By comparison

$\mathbf{CD \ne AB}$

Hence, AB and CD are not congruent

(c) AB bisects CD or not?

If AB bisects CD, then:

$\mathbf{AB = \frac 12 \times CD}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3\sqrt 2 \ne \frac 12 \times 3}$

Hence, AB does not bisect CD

(d) CD bisects AB or not?

If CD bisects AB, then:

$\mathbf{CD = \frac 12 \times AB}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3 \ne \frac 12 \times 3\sqrt 2}$

Hence, CD does not bisect AB

Two distinct number cubes, one red and one blue, are rolled together. Each number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6.

algol [13]

Answer:

7/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find what values of sum we can have.

The minimum value for a cube is 1, so the minimum value for the sum is 2.

The maximum value for a cube is 6, so the maximum value for the sum is 12.

Now, we find the multiples of 6 and the multiples of 4 between 2 and 12:

4, 6, 8, 12.

To have a sum of 4, we can have the pairs:

(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)

To have a sum of 6, we can have the pairs:

(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)

To have a sum of 8, we can have the pairs:

(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)

To have a sum of 12, we can have the pairs:

(6,6)

So we have 14 pairs among the 36 (6 possibilities of each cube, so 6*6=36) total possibilities of pairs, so the probability is P = 14/36 = 7/18
