Answer:

BC = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠ A = ∠ C then the triangle is isosceles with AB = BC, that is

3x + 14 = x + 20 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x + 14 = 20 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Thus

BC = 3x + 14 = 3(3) + 14 = 9 + 14 = 23

One x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (1,0). Use the factor method to find the other x-intercept for the parabola defin

Hoochie [10]

First simplify the equation of parabola $y=-5x^2+15x-10$ in the following way:
$D=(15)^2-4\cdot (-5) \cdot (-10)=225-200=25, \\ \sqrt{D}=5, \\ x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-15\pm 5}{2\cdot(-5)} = 2, 1 \\ -5x^2+15x-10=-5(x-1)(x-2), \\ y=-5(x-1)(x-2)$ .
You can see that if x=1 or x=2, then y=0. Two points of intersection with x-axis are (1,0) and (2,0).

Population density is the number of people per unit of area. What is the population density of a state that has 1627260 people i

g100num [7]

If state has 1627260 people and 1490 square miles, then we divide the number of people by the area and we get the density per square mile.

1627260 / 1490 = 1092,120805369128

After rounding it to the nearest whole number we get 1092.

The answer: In such a state 1092 people live in a square mile.
