Since E is the midpoint of DF, DE and EF are two halves of DF. First, let's write down what we know.

DE = 3x + 4

EF = 5x - 2

DE = EF

DE + EF = DF

Now, let's plug our values for DE and EF into our first expression.

3x + 4 = 5x -2

Add 2 to both sides and subtract 3x from both sides.

6 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

3 = x

Let's plug 3 in for x into DE.

DE = 3x + 4 = 3(3) + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13

DE = EF = 13

We can plug 13 in for DE and EF to get DF

DF = DE + EF = 13 + 13 = 26

A hot air balloon descends from an altitude of 2,000 feet at a constant rate of 90 feet per minute. The graph shows the altitude

SSSSS [86.1K]

Y=90x+2,000

90 is the rate of change because the hot air balloon descends 90 feet per minute.
And 2,000 is the starting point because the hot air balloon started the descent at 2,000 feet.

Explain 15 is not a prime factor

MissTica

15 is not a prime factor as it is divided by 1,3,5 and 15.

Additional information:

Prime numbers are those numbers which can only be divided by itself .for instance:1,2,3,5,7 ,11,13 etc.

Composite number s are those numbers which can be also divided by other numbers,For instance: 4,6,8,10 etc

22. Use your model to determine when the volume of oil will get down to 500 gallons.

Helen [10]

Answer:

21. y = 75000·0.935^t

22. after 74.6 days

23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t

24. 18.8% per month

25. 1748

Step-by-step explanation:

22. It is convenient to use the graphing calculator to solve this problem. The number of days is where the exponential curve has the value 500. It is about 74.55 days. (see the first attachment)

23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t (see the second attachment)

24. The rate of change is the difference between the base of the exponential and 1, often expressed as a percentage. The time period is the units of t.

(1.18832 -1) × 100% ≈ 18.8% . . . . per month

25. Evaluating the function for t=24 gives y ≈ 1748.30425259 ≈ 1748.
