Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are said to be similar. (ΔNPQ ~ ΔRSQ) That means corresponding sides have the same ratio:

NP/RS = NQ/RQ = PQ/SQ = 24/32 = 21/28 = 3/4

This ratio, or scale factor, also applies to the perimeters of the two triangles.

perimeter NPQ / perimeter RSQ = 3/4

Using the given expressions for the perimeters, we have ...

(7x +2)/(10x -4) = 3/4

We can solve this equation in the usual way to find the value of x. Then we can use that value to find the perimeter of ΔNPQ.

4(7x +2) = 3(10x -4) . . . . . multiply both sides by 4(10x -4)

28x +8 = 30x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

20 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-28x to both sides

10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 10

The perimeter of ΔNPQ is ...

7x +2 = 7(10) +2 = 72

The perimeter of triangle NPQ is 72 units.

Hi there! You are provided with two points, this is all you need to calculate the line's slope.

The equation for slope is:

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$\frac{10 - 8}{3 - 7} = -\frac{2}{4}$

Slope: -2/4

Point slope form, or y-y1 = m(x - x1). All we have to do is take the x and y coordinates of either point, as well as the slope, and plug them into the equation.

y - 10 = -2/4(x - 3)

Write the equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

$y - 10 = -2/4(x-3)\\y = -2/4(x-3) + 10\\y = -2/4x + 1.5 + 10\\y = -2/4x + 11.5$

A) -2/4

B) y - 10 = -2/4(x - 3)

C) y = -2/4x + 11.5

Find the limit. use l'hospital's rule if appropriate. if there is a more elementary method, consider using it. lim x→4 x2 − 16 x

ivolga24 [154]

Probably you are supposed to compute

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to4}\frac{x^2-16}{x^2-4x}$

Factorize the numerator and denominator, then simplify:

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to4}\frac{(x-4)(x+4)}{x(x-4)}=\lim_{x\to4}\frac{x+4}x=\frac{4+4}4=2$
