Answer:

BG = 8

EXPLANTAION :

we know that centroid of a triangle divides the median into ratio of 2 : 1 so,

BG : GF = 2 : 1

now, let's take BG as 2x and GF as x

and here, BG + GF = BF

So,

=》2x + x = 12

( because, BF = 12 )

=》3x = 12

=》x = 12 ÷ 3

=》x = 4

hence, x = 4

from here,

=》BG = 2x

=》BG = 2 × 4 = 8

For the table below, determine the function rule, and find each of the missing y-values.

anygoal [31]

The answer is 8 and 13

<span>
y = ax + b
y = 4, x = 1 </span>⇒ 4 = a + b
y = 6, x = 3 ⇒ 6 = 3a + b

Solve the system of equation:
a + b = 4
3a + b = 6
______
b = 4 - a
3a + b = 6
______
3a + 4 - a = 6
2a + 4 = 6
2a = 6 - 4
2a = 2
a = 2/2 = 1
b = 4 - a = 4 - 1 = 3

So, the function rule is: y = x + 3

Thus, if x = 7, then y = 7 + 3 = 10
If x = 10, then y = 10 + 3 = 13

x y
1 4
3 6
4 7
5 8
7 10
10 13

Triangle MRN is created when an equilateral triangle is folded in half.

Rus_ich [418]

The value of y based on the values given ib the equilateral triangle will be 4.

<h3>How to illustrate the triangle?</h3>

From the information given, MN is one of the sides of the equilateral triangle. Therefore, side MR will be:

= 1/2 × 8 = 4

In the above, it should be noted that MR was calculated since it's half of the value of MN which is 8.

Here, value of y based on the values given ib the equilateral triangle will be 4.

A small combination lock on a suitcase has 55 wheels, each labeled with the 10 digits 0 to 9. How many 55 digit combinations ar

den301095 [7]

Suppose $a_n$ is the number of possible combinations for a suitcase with a lock consisting of $n$ wheels. If you added one more wheel onto the lock, there would only be 9 allowed possible digits you can use for the new wheel. This means the number of possible combinations for $n+1$ wheels, or $a_{n+1}$ is given recursively by the formula

$a_{n+1}=9a_n$

starting with $a_1=10$ (because you can start the combination with any one of the ten available digits 0 through 9).

For example, if the combination for a 3-wheel lock is 282, then a 4-wheel lock can be any one of 2820, 2821, 2823, ..., 2829 (nine possibilities depending on the second-to-last digit).

By substitution, you have

$a_{n+1}=9a_n=9^2a_{n-1}=9^3a_{n-2}=\cdots=9^na_1=10\times9^n$

This means a lock with 55 wheels will have

$a_{55}=10\times9^{54}$

possible combinations (a number with 53 digits).

An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = $C$ days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2 $C$ days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = $\frac{1}{2}$

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = $\frac{1}{C}$

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = $\frac{1}{2C}$

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = $\frac{1}{C}$ + $\frac{1}{2C}$ = Work done in one day working together = $\frac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days$

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 $\times$ 2= <em>6 days</em>
