What is the length of AC?

HELP ME ON THIS PLEASE!!!! SHOW WORK!!!!

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{AC}{AJ}=\dfrac{AB}{AK}$

We have:

AC = 1 + 4 = 5

AJ = 1

AB = 1 + x

AK = 1

Substitute:

$\dfrac{5}{1}=\dfrac{1+x}{1}$

$5=1+x$ <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

$4=x\to x=4$

2.

ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{VU}{VM}=\dfrac{VT}{VN}$

We hve:

VU = x + 8

VM = x

VT = 49

VN = 49 - 14 = 35

Substitute:

$\dfrac{x+8}{x}=\dfrac{49}{35}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$35(x+8)=49x$ <em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>

$35x+280=49x$ <em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>

$280=14x$ <em>divide both sides by 14</em>

$20=x\to x=20$

What is the solution to the equation 13.7y = 6.2y + 30?

il63 [147K]

Here, we are required to determine the solution to the equation: 13.7y = 6.2y + 30?

The solution to the equation is y = 7.5

The solution is thus,

13.7y = 6.2y + 30
13.7y - 6.2y = 30
7.5y = 30

Therefore, y = 30/7.5 = 4

Therefore, y = 4 is the solution to the equation.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

6(3h+5k)

Step-by-step explanation:

18h+30k

Factors of 18:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Factors of 30:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

GCF of 18 and 30: 6

18h+30k = 6(3h+5k)

Consider the following quadratic function Part 3 of 6: Find the x-intercepts. Express it in ordered pairs.Part 4 of 6: Find the

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The line of symmetry is x = -3

Explanation:

Given a quadratic function, we know that the graph is a parabola. The general form of a parabola is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

The line of symmetry coincides with the x-axis of the vertex. To find the x-coordinate of the vertex, we can use the formula:

$x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}$

In this problem, we have:

$y=-x^2-6x-13$

Then:

a = -1

b = -6

We write now:

$x_v=-\frac{-6}{2(-1)}=-\frac{-6}{-2}=-\frac{6}{2}=-3$

Part 3:

For this part, we need to find the x-intercepts. This is, when y = 0:

$-x^2-6x-13=0$

To solve this, we can use the quadratic formula:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot(-1)\cdot(-13)}}{2(-1)}$

And solve:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-52}}{-2}$ $x_{1,2}=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{-16}}{2}$

Since there is no solution to the square root of a negative number, the function does not have any x-intercept. The correct option is ZERO x-intercepts.

Part 4:

To find the y intercept, we need to find the value of y when x = 0:

$y=-0^2-6\cdot0-13=-13$

The y-intercept is at (0, -13)

Part 5:

Now we need to find two points in the parabola. Let-s evaluate the function when x = 1 and x = -1:

$x=1\Rightarrow y=-1^2-6\cdot1-13=-1-6-13=-20$ $x=-1\Rightarrow y=-(-1)^2-6\cdot(-1)-13=-1+6-13=-8$

The two points are:

(1, -20)

(-1, -8)

Part 6:

Now, we can use 3 points to find the graph of the parabola.

We can locate (1, -20) and (-1, -8)

The third could be the vertex. We need to find the y-coordinate of the vertex. We know that the x-coordinate of the vertex is x = -3

Then, y-coordinate of the vertex is:

$y=-(-3)^2-6(-3)-13=-9+18-13=-4$

The third point we can use is (-3, -4)

Now we can locate them in the cartesian plane:

And that's enough to get the full graph:

A private jet flies the same distance in 8 hours that a commercial jet flies in 7 hours. If the speed of the commercial jet was

mamaluj [8]

Solving a system of equations, we can see that:

Speed of the private jet: 168 mi/h
Speed of the commercial jet: 192mi/h

<h3>How to find the speeds of each jet?</h3>

Let's define the variables:

P = speed of the private jet.
C = speed of the commercial jet.

With the given information, we can write:

P*8h = D

C*7h = D

C = 2*P - 144mi/h

So we have a system of 3 equations, where D is the distance in the problem.

With the first and second equations we can write:

P*8h = D = C*7h

Isolating P, we get:

P = C*(7/8)

Now we can replace that in the last equation:

C = 2*P - 144mi/h

C = 2*C*(7/8) - 144mi/h

And now we can solve that for C.

C - 2*(7/8)*C = - 144mi/h

C*(1 - 14/8) = -144mi/h

C*(8/8 - 14/8) = - 144mi/h

C*(6/8) = 144mi/h

C = (8/6)*144mi/h = 192mi/h

Now that we know the speed of the commercial jet, we can find the speed of the private jet.

P = C*(7/8) = 192mi/h*(7/8) = 168 mi/h
