B is the midpoint of AC, D is the midpoint of CE. BD=10, and AE =2x. Find the length of CE if CD =3x

1 answer:

7 0

There is a theorem that states that the line joining two midpoints in a triangle is always parallel to the third side and its length is half the length of the third side.

Since B is midpoint of AC and D is midpoint of CE, therefore, BD is parallel to AE and BD = 0.5 AE
AE = 2 BD = 2 x 10 = 2x
Therefore, x= 10

D is the midpoint of CE and CD = 3x, therefore CE = 6x where x = 10
Based on this, CE = 6 x 10 = 60 units of length

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem:

Solve y=x2;y=−x−3

Steps:

I will solve your system by substitution.

y=1/2x;y=−x−3

Step: Solve y= 1/2x for y:

Step: Substitute 1/2 x for y in y=−x−3:

y=−x−3

1/2x= =−x−3

1/2x+x=−x−3+x(Add x to both sides)

3/2x = -3

3/2x/3/2 = -3/3/2 (Divide both sides by 3/2)

x=−2

Step: Substitute −2 for x in y=1/2x:

y=1/2x

y=1/2(-2)

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−2 and y=−1

Match each power of a power expression with its simplified expression.

Answer:

> $(4^6)^{-3}$ = $\frac{1}{4 ^ {18}}$

> $(4^{-3})^{-3}$ = $4 ^ 9$

> $(4^0)^{-9}$ = $4 ^0$

> $(-4^{-9})^2$ = $(-4) ^ {-18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to expand the powers of each of them:

> $(4^6)^{-3}$ = $4^{(6 * -3)}$

= $4 ^ {-18}$

$(4^6)^{-3}$ = $\frac{1}{4 ^ {18}}$

> $(4^{-3})^{-3}$ = $4 ^ {(-3 * -3)}$

$(4^{-3})^{-3}$ = $4 ^ 9$

> $(4^0)^{-9}$ = $4 ^ {(0 * -9)}$

$(4^0)^{-9}$ = $4 ^0$

> $(-4^{-9})^2$ = $-4 ^ {( -9 * 2)}$

$(-4^{-9})^2$ = $-4 ^ {-18}$

A set of twins, Andrea and Courtney, are initially 10 years old. While Courtney remains on Earth, Andrea rides on a spaceship th

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The initial age of 10 years and the spaceship speed of 0.60•c, gives the Andrea's age at the end of the trip as 18 years.

<h3>How can Andrea's new age be calculated?</h3>

The time dilation using the Lorentz transformation formula is presented as follows;

$t' = \frac{t}{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{ {v}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} } } }$

From the question, we have;

The spaceship's speed, v = 0.6•c

∆t = Rest frame, Courtney's time, change = 10 years

Therefore;

$\delta t' =\delta t \times \sqrt{1 - \frac{ {(0.6 \cdot c)}^{2} }{ {c}^{2} } } = 8$

The time that elapses as measured by Andrea = 8 years

Andrea's age, A, at the end of the trip is therefore;

A = 10 years + 8 years = 18 years
