Answer:

CE = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, BD divides AC and CE proportionally. This implies that:

BC:AB = DC:DE

Plug in the values

(x - 5)/6 = 14/(2x + 3)

(x - 5)(2x + 3) = 14*6

x(2x + 3) -5(2x + 3) = 84

2x² + 3x - 10x - 15 = 84

2x² - 7x - 15 - 84 = 0

2x² - 7x - 99 = 0

Factorize

2x² - 18x + 11x - 99 = 0

2x(x - 9) +11(x - 9) = 0

(2x + 11)(x - 9) = 0

2x = -11

x = -11/2

Or

x = 9

Let's take the positive value of x

Thus:

CE = 14 + 2x + 3

Plug in the value of x

CE = 14 + 2(9) + 3

CE = 14 + 18 + 3

CE = 35

The functions f and g are defined as follows f(x)=5x+3/6x+7 and g(x)= square root sign x^2-4x

<span>f(x)=5x+3/6x+7

This means that f(6/x) = [</span>5(6/x)+3] / [6(6/x)+7] = [ 30/x +3 ] / [36/x +7]

If we assume x≠0 ,    f(6/x) = [30 +3x]/ [36 + 7x]

g(x)=√<span> [ x^2-4x ]

g(x-4) = √ [ (x-4)^2-4(x-4) ] = √ [ x² -8x +16 -4x +16 ] = √ [ x^2-12x +32]

A rectangular floor is 7 yards long and 3 yards wide. what is the area of the floor in square feet? be sure to include the corre
mario62 [17]
There are a couple ways to do this, but basically you need to convert the units. 

<span>7 yards x 3 ft/yard = 21 feet </span>
<span>4 yards x 3 ft/yard = 12 feet </span>
<span>So the area (in sq. ft) will be: </span>
<span>21 x 12 </span>
<span>= 252 sq. ft. </span>

<span>Alternatively, you can figure the area in square *yards* and then multiply by 9 sq. ft per sq. yard. </span>
<span>7 yards x 4 yards x 9 sq. ft/sq. yard </span>
<span>= 252 sq. ft.

hope this helps :)</span>
