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

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{\pi}{4}+k\pi\ \text{or}\ x=k\pi\ \text{for}\ k\in\mathbb{Z}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2\cos\left(2x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sqrt2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\cos\left(2x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)=\dfrac{\sqrt2}{2}\to2x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}=\pm\dfrac{\pi}{4}+2k\pi\\\\2x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}=-\dfrac{\pi}{4}+2k\pi\ \vee\ 2x+\dfrac{\pi}{4}=\dfrac{\pi}{4}+2k\pi\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{\pi}{4}\ \text{from all sides}\\\\2x=-\dfrac{2\pi}{4}+2k\pi\ \vee\ 2x=2k\pi\qquad\text{divide all sides by 2}\\\\x=-\dfrac{\pi}{4}+k\pi\ \vee\ x=k\pi\ \text{for}\ k\in\mathbb{Z}$

A regular hexagon rotates counterclockwise about its center. It turns through angles greater than 0° and less than or equal to 3

Bogdan [553]

Hey there Caleb!

To start of, the sentence was clear on that it said . . .

$\boxed{A \ regular \ hexagon \ rotates \ counterclockwise \ about \ its 
 \ center }$

The statement listed above is the (key) point. We need to keep this in mind.

So, now that we know this.

We would use the mathematic (Ф)

So,sense we know that a (hexagon) had it's (6) shapes, we would do . . .

Ф = 360° : 6 = 60°

Your correct answer to this question would be . . .

$\boxed{\boxed{60}}$

Hope this helps.

What’s Distribute -x(5x+2)

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

-5x^2-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, you multiply the term outside the brackets to all the terms in brackets.

If the term outside the bracket is negative, then when distributing/opening the brackets, the signs of the terms changes.

So in this prob. -x would multiply to both +5x and +2

-x*5x+-x*2
