Answer:

AB is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = EC

BF = FC

EF = 8 and DF = 10

To Find:

AB = ?

Solution:

Mid Point Theorem:

The Midpoint Theorem states that "the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side".

AE = EC .....Given

Therefore E is the Mid Point of AC.

BF = FC .....Given

Therefore F is the Mid Point of BC.

Therefore,

EF || AB ........................Mid Point Theorem.

..............Mid Point Theorem.

Substituting the values we get

Therefore AB is 16 units.

Answer:

$p'(4) = -3$

$q'(8) = \frac{1}{4}\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

For p'(4):

$p(x) = f(x)g(x) \\ p'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(f(x)g(x)) \\ p'(x) = f'(x)g(x) +f(x)g'(x)$

$p'(4) = f'(4)g(4) + f(4)g'(4) \\ p'(4) = (-1)(3) +(7)(0) \\ p'(4) = -3$

For q'(8):

$q(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \\ q'(x)= \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}) \\ q'(x) = \frac{f'(x)g(x) -f(x)g'(x)}{{g(x)}^2}$

$q'(8) = \frac{f'(8)g(8) -f(8)g'(8)}{{g(8)}^2} \\ q'(8) = \frac{(2)(2) -(6)(\frac{1}{2})}{{2}^2} \\ q'(8) = \frac{4 -3}{4} \\ q'(8) = \frac{1}{4}$

2x-5y=3 4y-x=-3 solve by elimination

loris [4]

Answer:

x = -1 and y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this equation we say

let

2x-5y=3.......................................... equation 1

4y-x=-3............................................equation 2

from equation 2

4y-x=-3............................................equation 2

4y + 3 = x

i.e

x = 4y + 3 ............................................. equation 3

put x = 4y + 3 in equation 1

2(4y +3) - 5y = 3

8y + 6 -5y = 3

3y +6 = 3

3y= 3-6

3y -3

divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 3

3y/3 = -3/3

y = -1

put y = -1 into equation 3

x = 4y + 3 ............................................. equation 3

x = 4(-1) + 3

x = -4 + 3

x = -1

therefore the value of x = -1 and y = -1 respectively

70=(4x+36)/2 figure this out please

adell [148]

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{\huge{\boxed{x = 26}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$70 = \frac{4x+36}{2}$

Multiplying both sides by 2

$70 * 2 = 4x+36$

$140 = 4x+36$

Subtracting 36 to both sides

$140 - 36 = 4x$

$104 = 4x$

Dividing both sides by 4

$26 = x$

$x = 26$

Can someone help me with 9 and 10 please

AfilCa [17]

It would cross the y-axis at 2 and it would cross the x-axis at -2

Explanation- x is the horizontal line and the y is the vertical line. Basically whichever number the line crosses on the x-axis line or the y-axis line would be your answer.

Hope this helps(:
