Answer:
If B is between A and C, AB = x, BC = 2x + 2, and AC = 14, find the value of x. Then find AB and BC.
Step-by-step explanation:
AB=x
BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2
AC =14AC=14
Required
Determine x, AB and BC.
Since B is between A and C;
AB + BC = ACAB+BC=AC
Substitute x for AB; 2x + 2 for BC and 14 for AC
x + 2x + 2 = 14x+2x+2=14
3x + 2 = 143x+2=14

3x = 14 - 23x=14−2
3x = 123x=12 '
x = \frac{12}{3}x=

12
x = 4x=4
Substitute 4 for x in
AB = xAB=x
BC = 2x + 2BC=2x+2
AB = 4AB=4
BC = 2(4) + 2BC=2(4)+2
BC = 8 + 2BC=8+2
BC = 10BC=10

Answer: 11.33
Step-by-step explanation: First you must multiply 42 x 500, which gets you 21,000. Then you divide 238,000 by 21,000 to get 11.33
Answer:
y = (1/5)x² or y = x²/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the function f(x) = ax² and are given that the point (5,5) is on the parabola. We need to find 'a'. f(x) can be replaced with 'y', so we can rewrite the equation as...
y = ax²
We know that when x = 5, y = 5, so we have
5 = a(5²) now simplify...
5 = 25a
5/25 = a
1/5 = a, so our equation becomes
(1/5)x² or x²/5 (the expressions are equal)
