Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation: Snap Add?

I don't know what this means:

"because the consecutive angles of a parallelogram are . Solving for x gives x ="

I know that (5x-12) + (x+6)

1. 5x-12+x+6=0

2.6x-6=0

3.6x=6

4.x=1

If f(x)=25-x^2 and g(x)=x+5, what is (f/g)(x)? Write your answer in the simplest form.

Flura [38]

F(x) = -x² + 25
g(x) = x + 5

(f ÷ g)(x) = ⁻ˣ²⁺²⁵/ₓ₊₅
(f ÷ g)(x) = ⁻¹⁽ˣ⁺⁵⁾⁽ˣ⁻⁵⁾/ₓ₊₅
(f ÷ g)(x) = -x + 5

The width of a rectangle is 12 inches more than the length. The perimeter is 76 inches. Find the width and the length.

stira [4]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to consider the formula of the perimeter = 2·length + 2·width.

If we call "x" to the length ⇒ width = x + 12 .

Perimeter = 2x + 2·(x + 12) ⇒ Perimeter = 2x + 2x + 24

⇒Perimeter = 4x + 24. ⇒ 76 = 4x + 24 ⇒ 76 - 24 = 4x ⇒52 = 4x

⇒ 52/4 = x ⇒ x = 13.

So, the length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

If the second term of a geometric sequence of real numbers is -2 and the fifth term is 16 then what is the fourteenth term?

Agata [3.3K]

<h3>Given</h3>

A geometric sequence such that ...

$a_2=-2\quad\text{and}\quad a_5=16$

<h3>Find</h3>

$a_{14}$

<h3>Solution</h3>

We can use the ratio of the given terms to find the common ratio of the sequence, then use that to find the desired term from one of the given terms. We don't actually need the common ratio (-2). All we need is its cube (-8).

$a_2=a_1r^{(2-1)}=a_1r^1\\a_5=a_1r^{(5-1)}=a_1r^4\\a_{14}=a_1r^{(14-1)}=a_1r^13=a_5r^9\\\\\dfrac{a_5}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_1r^4}{a_1r^1}=r^3=\dfrac{16}{-2}=-8\\\\r^9=\left(r^3\right)^3=(-8)^3=-512\\a_{14}=a_5(-512)\\\\a_{14}=-8192$
