Answer:

a. 6.25
b. AT = 33
c. y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Midsegment is half the length of the parallel side:

12.5/2 = 6.25

b. Segment addition postulate:

AB = AT + TB = 3x + 6 + 42 - x = 2x + 48

Perpendicular bisector of segment divides the segment in two equal halves:

AT = TB
3x + 6 = 42 - x
4x = 36
x = 9

AT is:

AT = 3*9 + 6
= 33

c) The point on the angle bisector H is equidistant from the point E and G:

EH = HG
5y + 10 = 28 - y
5y + y = 28 - 10
6y = 18
y = 3

How can i differentiate this equation?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

$\bf y=\cfrac{2x^2-10x}{\sqrt{x}}\implies y=\cfrac{2x^2-10x}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\stackrel{\textit{quotient rule}}{\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)\left( \frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}} \right)}{\left( x^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)\left( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)}{\left( x^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~\left( \frac{2x^2-10x}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)}{x}$

$\bf\cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})~~-~~\left( \frac{2x^2-10x}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{ \frac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})(2\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2\sqrt{x}}}{x} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)(\sqrt{x})(2\sqrt{x})~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2x\sqrt{x}}$

$\bf \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{(4x-10)2x~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2x\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{8x^2-20x~~-~~(2x^2-10x)}{2x\sqrt{x}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{8x^2-20x~~-~~2x^2+10x}{2x\sqrt{x}} \implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{6x^2-10x}{2x\sqrt{x}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{2x(3x-5)}{2x\sqrt{x}}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\cfrac{3x-5}{\sqrt{x}}$

How to solve 3 variable systems

AVprozaik [17]

Pick two pairs: 4x - 3y + z = - 10. 2x + y + 3z = 0. ... Eliminate the same variable from each system: 4x - 3y + z = - 10. 2x + y + 3z = 0. ... Solve the system of the two new equations: -5y - 5z = - 10. 5y - 7z = 34. ... Substitute into one of the original equations: - x + 2y - 5z = 17. ... Check: Does 2(1) + 4 + 3(- 2) = 0 ? Yes.

When a plane flies into the wind, it can travel 3000 ml in 6 h . When it flies with the wind, it can travel the same distance in

jeka94

Answer:

plane: 550 mph
wind: 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If p and w represent the speeds of the plane and wind, respectively, the speed into the wind is ...

p - w = (3000 mi)/(6 h) = 500 mi/h

And, the speed with the wind is ...

p + w = (3000 mi)/(5 h) = 600 mi/h

Adding these two equations gives us ...

2p = 1100 mi/h

p = 550 mi/h . . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the wind speed is ...

w = 600 mi/h - p = (600 -550) mi/h

w = 50 mi/h

The rate of the plane in still air is 550 mi/h; the rate of the wind is 50 mi/h.
