Proportions in similar triangles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that DE is parallel to AC then DE divides the sides proportionally, so

\frac{BD}{DA} = \frac{BE}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{x+2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} ( cross- multiply )

3x = 2(x + 2) ← distribute

3x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 4

What is the discriminant of 3x2 + 6x = 2?
Softa [21]

Answer:

Discriminant is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

the discriminant of 3x^2 + 6x = 2

To find discriminant , first we write the equation in the form of

ax^2+bx+c=0

3x^2 + 6x = 2

Subtract 2 on both sides

3x^2 + 6x-2=0

a=3, b=6, c=-2

Formula for discriminant is b^2-4ac

Plug in the values

b^2-4ac=(6)^2-4(3)(-2)=60

Discriminant is 60

The hourly wages earned by 20 employees are shown in the first box-and-whisker plot below. The person earning $15 per hour quits
agasfer [191]

Answer:

<h2>The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a box plot is made by the quartiles of the distribution, the maximum value and the minimum value. So, from a box plot we can deduct the range, the median and the interquartile range.

In this case, the median remains the same at $9.5 per hour. The median is indicated by the middle line of the box, and you can observe that it doesn't change.

Now, the range of the data set decreases from 7 to 3.

On the other hand, the mean must decrease, because data greater than $11 doesn't exist in the box plot number 2, and the mean is a central measure sensible to those changes.

Therefore, the right answer is <em>The mean decreases, and the median remains the same.</em>
