Segment addition postulate What’s the answer?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Free_Kalibri [48]2 years ago
3 0

\bf Step-by-step~explanation:

Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.

\bf Step~1:

Let's see how the line segment looks like first.

Line segment VX is 14 units long.

             14

______________

V                         X

W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.

     3              ?

______________

V           W           X

\bf Step~2:

We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.

We have to set up our equation like this:

x + 3 = 14

Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.

14 - 3 = 11

   3               11

______________

V           W           X

\large\boxed {\bf Our~final~answer: ~WX=11}

points a,b and c are collinear on AC, and AB:BC=3/4. A is located at (x,y), B is located at (4,1), and c is located at (12,5). w
olga_2 [115]
We have two unknowns: x and y. Now, we have to formulate 2 equations. The first would come from the use of the given ratio:

We use the distance formula to find the distance between coordinates:

3/4 = √[(x-4)²+(y-1)²] / √[(4-12)²+(1-5)²]
√[(x-4)²+(y-1)²]  = 3√5
(x-4)²+(y-1)² = 45
x² - 8x + 16 + y² - 2y + 1 = 45
x² - 8x + y² - 2y = 28  --> eqn 1

The second equation must come from the equation of a line:
y = mx +b
m = (5-1)/(12-4) = 1/2

Substitute y=5 and x=12 for point (12,5)
5 = (1/2)(12) + b
b = -1

So, the second equation is

y = 1/2x -1 or x = 2 + 2y --> eqn 2

Solving the equations simultaneously:
(2 + 2y)² - 8(2 + 2y) + y² - 2y = 28 
Solving for y, 
y = -2
x = 2+2(-2) = -2

Therefore, the coordinates of point A is (-2,-2).

Which system of inequalities is represented by the graph?
Tamiku [17]
The blue line...
(1,2),(3,1)
slope = (1 - 2) / (3 - 1) = -1/2
there is a y int at (0,2.5) or (0,5/2)
it is shaded below the line....and it is a solid line
this inequality is :
y = -1/2x + 5/2
1/2x + y = 5/2
x + 2y = 5
x + 2y < = 5.....this is ur inequality


red line...
(0,4), (1,1)
slope = (1 - 4) / (1 - 0) = -3/1 = -3

there is a y int at (0,4)
it is shaded below the line...and it is a solid line
this inequality is :
y = -3x + 4
3x + y = 4
3x + y < = 4 ...this is ur inequality

summary :
ur 2 inequalities are : 
x + 2y < = 5 and 3x + y < = 4

For each function shown:
mestny [16]
#1: y= 0.5+3 x
which means that x= y/3 - 0.5

#2: y= 3(0.5) x
which means that y= 1.5 x
that means x = y/1.5

Hope it can help
