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

Let p = the product of all the odd integers between 500 and 598, and let q = the product of all the odd integers between 500 and
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\frac{360000q}{359999}

Step-by-step explanation:

p = Product of all odd integers between 500 an 598. So,

p = 501 x 503 x 505 ... x 595 x 597

q = Product of all odd integers between 500 and 602. So,

q = 501 x 503 x 505 ... x 595 x 597 x 599 x 601

From the above relations, we can see that q is equal to p multiplied by 599 and 601. i.e.

q = p x 599 x 601

or,

p=\frac{q}{599 \times 601}

We need to evaluate 1p + 1q in terms of q. Using the value of p from above expression, we get:

p+q=\frac{q}{599 \times 601} + q\\\\ p+q=\frac{q+(599 \times 601q)}{599 \times 601}\\ \\ p+q=\frac{q(1+599\times601)}{599 \times 601}\\\\ p+q=\frac{360000q}{359999}
