Answer:

The value of x is 4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangles MOP and MNQ are similar.

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

$\frac{MQ}{MP}=\frac{MN}{MO}$

$\frac{MQ}{MQ+QP}=\frac{MN}{MN+NO}$

It is given that MQ=4, QP=x, MN=6, NO=2. Put this value in the above equation.

$\frac{4}{4+x}=\frac{6}{6+2}$

$\frac{4}{4+x}=\frac{6}{8}$

$4\times 8=6(4+x)$

$32=24+6x$

$32-24=6x$

$8=6x$

Divide both sides by 6.

$\frac{8}{6}=x$

$\frac{4}{3}=x$

Therefore the value of x is 4/3.

Aight so if you add the angel mn and no you get eight so that must mean the opposite side must also equal eight, in that case 8-4 is 4, so Qp is 4

correct me if im wrong

100 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Alika [10]

Answer: To clear an equation of decimals, multiply each term on both sides by the power of ten that will make all the decimals whole numbers. In our example above, if we multiply .25 by 100, we will get 25, a whole number. Since each decimal only goes to the hundredths place, 100 will work for all three terms.

So let's multiply each term by 100 to clear the decimals:

(100)0.25x + (100)0.35 = (100)(-0.29)

25x + 35 = -29

Now we can solve the equation as normal:

25x + 35 - 35 = -29 - 35

25x = -64

x = -2.56 Since the original was in decimal form, the answer should most likely also be in decimal form.

Let's look at one more:

1.75x + 4 = 6.2

We have to think a little more carefully about what multiple of ten to use here. 6.2 only needs to be multiplied by 10, but 1.25 needs 100, so we will multiply every term by 100. Don't forget to multiply the 4 by 100 as well.

(100)(1.75x) + (100)(4) = (100)(6.2)

175x + 400 = 620

We had to be extra careful as we multiplied by 100. Now we can solve the equation as normal:

175x + 400 - 400 = 620 - 400

175x = 220

x = 1.26

Estimate and classify the critical points for the graph of the function<br> Please show work

ikadub [295]

The critical points of the function graphed are given as follows:

x = -1.5: Local maximum.

x = -1: Local minimum.

<h3>What are the critical points of a function?</h3>

The critical points of a function are the values of x for which:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0$

In a graph, they are turning points, and are classified as follows:

Local maximum, if the functions changes from increasing to decreasing.

Local minimum, if the functions changes from decreasing to increasing.

Looking at the graph, the turning points are approximately:

x = -1.5: Local maximum.

x = -1: Local minimum.
