If Triangle ABC~trIangle DEC, find the value of x and y."

Mathematics

slava [35]3 years ago

Answer:

The right answer would be (D) x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

So since triangles ABC and DEC are congruent to each other, your gonna try to find the value of x. So from the figure we know that AB = 4x - 1, BC = 4, AC = 5,  DE = x+2, CE = 4 and EC = 5. And since ΔABC ≅ ΔDEC the corresponding sides would be equal. And after, we will have :

<em>AB = DE</em>

4x - 1 = x + 2

4x - x =2 + 1

3x = 3

x = 1

So, as it shows, the value of x is one. So (D) x = 1 is the right answer. Hope this helped! :)

Hey there!

\bold{\frac{8(-14)}{(-8)-3(-13)}}

  • \bold{8\times-14=-112}
  • \bold{\frac{-112}{(-8)-3(-13)}}
  • \bold{3\times-13=39}
  • \bold{\frac{-112}{-8-39} }
  • \bold{-8-(-39)=31}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:\frac{-112}{31}}}}

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Simplify the trigonometric expression.
Natasha_Volkova [10]
First we are going to find the common denominator of both fractions. To do that, we are going to multiply their denominators:
(1+sin \alpha )(1-sin \alpha )=1-sin^2 \alpha

Now we can rewrite our expression using the common denominator:
\frac{1-sin \alpha }{1-sin^2 \alpha } + \frac{1+sin \alpha }{1-sin^2 \alpha} = \frac{2}{1-sin^2 \alpha}

Finally, we can use the trig identities: 1-sin^2 \alpha =cos^2 \alpha and sec \alpha = \frac{1}{cos \alpha } to simplify our trig expression:
\frac{2}{cos^2\alpha}=2sec^2 \alpha

We can conclude that the correct answer is the fourth one.

The graph is the horizontal line:

y=3  it has a slope of zero.

Function 2 is

y=3x+1, it is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y=intercept so in this case it has a slope of 3.

So the difference in slopes is 3-0=3
