Answer:

Line Segment

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment has dots on both ends of the line. A line has nothing at either end of it. A ray has an arrow at one end of the line. Line BC is a line segment.

Hope it helps!

<h3>Answer: BC is a line segment</h3>

Explanation:

This is because we have two fixed endpoints, B and C, where the line does not go on forever beyond those endpoints. This means BC is some fixed length. The terms "line segment" and "segment" are the same thing.

A ray on the other hand would have the line go on forever in one direction, while it only has one fixed endpoint. As the name suggests, think of the ray of sunlight as an example. So we can rule out "ray". We can also rule out "line" because it doesn't extend forever in both directions.

Ax+3=23 if a=0 plz help

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

x = $\frac{23}{a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

ax + 3 = 23

To solve this equation for the value of x isolate the variable 'x' on the one side of the equation.

Step 1,

Subtract 3 from both the sides of the equation.

ax + 3 - 3 = 23 - 3

ax = 20

Step 2,

Divide the equation by a,

$\frac{ax}{a}=\frac{23}{a}$

x = $\frac{23}{a}$

Therefore, x = $\frac{23}{a}$ will be the answer.

What are the coordinates of the turning point for the function f(x) = (x - 1)3 - 3? A. (-1, -3)

Naddik [55]

ANSWER

The turning point is

$(1,-3).$

EXPLANATION

The function given to us is

$f(x) = (x - 1) ^{3} - 3$

At turning point,
$f '(x) = 0$

So we need to differentiate the given function and equate it to zero.

We using the chain rule of differentiation, we obtain,
$f '(x) =3 (x - 1) ^{2}$

We equate this to zero to obtain,

$3 (x - 1) ^{2} = 0$

We divide through by 3.

$(x - 1) ^{2} = 0$

We solve for x to get,

$x - 1 = 0$

$x = 1$

We substitute this x-value in to the function to obtain the corresponding y-value of the turning point.

$f(1) = (1- 1) ^{3} - 3$

$f(1) = 0 - 3$

$f(1) = - 3$

Therefore the turning point is

$(1,-3)$

C is the correct answer.

A. find the value of a. B. Find the value of the marked angles.

Marat540 [252]

The marked angles are opposite angles, and as such they have the same measure. So, we have

$6a+11 = 2a+83$

Subtract 2a and 11 from both sides to get

$4a = 72$

Divide both sides by 4 to get

$a = \dfrac{72}{4} = 18$

Now that we know the value of a, we can compute the measure of the angles. We can also verify that the solution we found is correct by verifying that both expressions actually give the same result:

$6a+11 = 6\cdot 18 + 11 = 119$

$2a+83 = 2\cdot 18 + 83 = 119$

Right △ABC has coordinates A(-7, 3), B(-7, 10), and C(-1, 3). The triangle is reflected over the x-axis and then reflected again

aalyn [17]

X-axis = A (-7,-3) B (-7,-10) C (-1,-3) first they changed to the x-axis which is this. Just so you know on the x-axis the x-axis stay and the y-axis changed which is this.
When they reflect again on the y-axis the verter of A' is
A' (7, 3) = answer
On the y-axis the y- axis doesnt change but the x-axis changed.
Hope this help!
