Answer:

NM = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle JKLM

JN = x + 3 and JL = 3x + 1

JN = 1/2JL as diagonals bisect each other and N is the midpoint of JL.

Substitute and solve for x:

x + 3 = 1/2(3x + 1)

2x + 6 = 3x + 1

3x - 2x = 6 - 1

x = 5

Find JN

JN = 5 + 3 = 8

Looking at the options, we see that

NM = JN = 8

Correct option is A

Sean has $75 to spend on CDs. If each CD costs $6.98, about how many CDs can he buy?

Daniel [21]

75/6.98=10.744
We would most likely round this down to 10 even though the .7 because if we round up we would go over the budget.
So he can buy about 10 CDs

The axis of symmetry for a function in the form f(x) = x2 + 4x − 5 is x = −2. What are the coordinates of the vertex of the grap

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

D) $(-2,-9)$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertex Form of a Vertical Parabola:</u>

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

Vertex -> $(h,k)$

Axis of Symmetry -> $x=h$

Vertical Scale Factor -> $a$

To turn $f(x)=x^2+4x-5$ into vertex form, we need to complete the square on the right side
Therefore, if $f(x)=0$ , then $0+9=x^2+4x-5+9$ completes the square on the right side
This becomes $9=(x+2)^2$
This means that our function in vertex form is $f(x)=(x+2)^2-9$
