Answer:
x = 144
Step-by-step explanation:
What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.
x/60 = 60/25
Multiply by 60 to find x:
x = (60·60)/25
x = 144

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...
60 = √(25x)
That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).
This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.
Answer:x^2+2x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m assuming you meant 2x^4+4x^3+6x^2...
So you can pull out 2x^2 from all of the polynomials...
And this equation isn’t able to be simplified anymore. Hope this helps!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
When you read the question it says that her average speed from the library to the gym is 15 mph less than her speed from her home to the library. So x - 15 is what describes that situation.
If it is A it cannot be anything else.
B is incorrect. x - 15 is not a time. It is a rate. It can be used to develop the amount of time, but by itself it is still A.
C is incorrect. Her average speed from her house to the library is x
D is incorrect. The distance is given as the same as from her home to the library as from the library to the gym. Both are 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates
Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2)
Finally use the slope intersect equation to calculate the slope:
<em>Formula-</em><em> </em>
<em>y = mx + b </em>
