Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides are proportional.
BE/CD = AE/AD
20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)
20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)
In standard form, this is ...
3x^2 -15x -528 = 0
x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3
(x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
x = 16
__
This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.
The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
![\begin{gathered} 14^2=9^2+x^2 \\ 196=81+x^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 196 - 81 = 115} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{115} \\ x\text{ = 10.72} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%2014%5E2%3D9%5E2%2Bx%5E2%20%5C%5C%20196%3D81%2Bx%5E2%20%5C%5C%20x%5E2%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20196%20-%2081%20%3D%20115%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B115%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%2010.72%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
I know that x=9 not sure the rest but you could ask a tutor

Here is the answer to the question. Vertical asymptotes a<span>re vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes of the denominator of a </span>rational function. Therefore, in order to find the vertical asymptote of a rational expression, what you are going to do is to <span>set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x. Hope this helps.</span>
