Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have an angle bisector in AD. That means the sides are in proportion to to BD and DC

It's much easier just to look at the proportion.

AB / BD = AC/DC

18 / (3x - 3) = 15/(x + 5)              Cross multiply

18*(x + 5) = 15 (3x - 3)                Remove the brackets

18x + 90 = 45x - 45                  Switch the sides.

45x - 45 = 18x + 90                  Subtract 18x from both sides

<u>-18x           -18x</u>

27x - 45 = 90                           Add 45 to both sides

<u>       +45    45</u>

27x = 135

x = 5

But that's not the answer (even though it is correct). You want BD

BD = 3x - 3

BD = 3*5 - 3

BD = 15 - 3

BD = 12

How many terms are there in a geometric series if the first term is 4, the common ration is 3 and the sum of the series is 160
Marina CMI [18]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}&#10;\\\\&#10;S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=4\\&#10;r=3\\&#10;S_n=160&#10;\end{cases}

\bf 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{1-3} \right)\implies 160=4\left( \cfrac{1-3^n}{-2} \right)\implies 160=-2(1-3^n)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;160=2(3^n-1)\implies \cfrac{160}{2}=3^n-1\implies 80=3^n-1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;81=3^n~~&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\&#10;\qquad 3^4&#10;\end{cases}\implies 3^4=3^n\implies 4=n

Quadrilateral PUMA has coordinates at P(-5,-2), U(-1,2), M(4,-3), A(0,-7) and it is transformed by (x+3,y-5). Determined the ima
IgorLugansk [536]

The image of M is (7 , -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some transformation

  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units  then its image is (x + h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units  then its image is (x - h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units  then its image is (x , y + k)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units  then its image is (x , y - k)

∵ The quadrilateral PUMA has coordinates at:

   P (-5 , -2) , U (-1 , 2) , M (4 , -3) , A (0 , -7)

∵ It is transformed by (x + 3 , y - 5)

- That means the quadrilateral translated 3 units right and 5 units

   down, then we add each x-coordinate by 3 and subtract 5 from

   each y-coordinate

∵ The coordinates of point M are (4 , -3)

∴ The image of point M = (4 + 3 , -3 - 5)

∴ The image of point M = (7 , -8)

The image of M is (7 , -8)
