Answer:

X = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{32}{24} = \frac{4}{x} \\ 32x = 4 \times 24 \\ x = \frac{4 \times 24}{32} \\ x = 3$

Solve for 2x^2-4x+5=6

Softa [21]

To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.

2x² - 4x + 5 = 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0 Plug this into the Quadratic Formula

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x = $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ Plug in your values
x = $\frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}$ Simplify
x = $\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 8} }{4}$ Simplify
x = $\frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{6} }{4}$ Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x = $\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x = $\frac{2}{2} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Change $\frac{2}{2}$ to 1
x = 1 $\pm \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Simplify $\frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ to $\sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }$
x = 1 $\pm \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }$

Ivan used coordinate geometry to prove that quadrilateral EFGH is a square.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(A)Segment EF, segment FG, segment GH, and segment EH are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Quadrilateral EFGH with points E(-2,3), F(1,6), G(4,3), H(1,0)

Step 2

Using the distance formula

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Given E(-2,3), F(1,6)

$|EF|=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(1-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}$

Given F(1,6), G(4,3)

$|FG|=\sqrt{(3-6)^2+(4-1)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}$

Given G(4,3), H(1,0)

$|GH|=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(1-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}$

Given E (−2, 3), H (1, 0)

$|EH|=\sqrt{(0-3)^2+(1-(-2))^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(3)^2}=\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}$

Step 3

Segment EF ,E (−2, 3), F (1, 6)

Slope of |EF|= $\frac{6-3}{1+2} =\frac{3}{3}=1$

Segment GH, G (4, 3), H (1, 0)

Slope of |GH| $= \frac{0-3}{1-4} =\frac{-3}{-3}=1$

Step 4

Segment EH, E(−2, 3), H (1, 0)

Slope of |EH| $= \frac{0-3}{1+2} =\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

Segment FG, F (1, 6,) G (4, 3)

Slope of |EH| $=\frac{3-6}{4-1} =\frac{-3}{3}=-1$

Step 5

Segment EF and segment GH are perpendicular to segment FG.

The slope of segment EF and segment GH is 1. The slope of segment FG is −1.

Step 6

Segment EF, segment FG, segment GH, and segment EH are congruent.

The slope of segment FG and segment EH is −1. The slope of segment GH is 1.

Step 7

All sides are congruent, opposite sides are parallel, and adjacent sides are perpendicular. Quadrilateral EFGH is a square

39-50 find the limit. 41. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clim%20_%7Bt%20%5Crightarrow%200%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctan%206%20t

Katyanochek1 [597]

Write tan in terms of sin and cos.

$\displaystyle \lim_{t\to0}\frac{\tan(6t)}{\sin(2t)} = \lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin(6t)}{\sin(2t)\cos(6t)}$

Recall that

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin(x)}x = 1$

Rewrite and expand the given limand as the product

$\displaystyle \lim_{t\to0}\frac{\sin(6t)}{\sin(2t)\cos(6t)} = \lim_{t\to0} \frac{\sin(6t)}{6t} \times \frac{2t}{\sin(2t)} \times \frac{6t}{2t\cos(6t)} \\\\ = \left(\lim_{t\to0} \frac{\sin(6t)}{6t}\right) \times \left(\lim_{t\to0}\frac{2t}{\sin(2t)}\right) \times \left(\lim_{t\to0}\frac{3}{\cos(6t)}\right)$

Then using the known limit above, it follows that

$\displaystyle \left(\lim_{t\to0} \frac{\sin(6t)}{6t}\right) \times \left(\lim_{t\to0}\frac{2t}{\sin(2t)}\right) \times \left(\lim_{t\to0}\frac{3}{\cos(6t)}\right) = 1 \times 1 \times \frac3{\cos(0)} = \boxed{3}$

Explain The probability of tossing a prime number when you toss the cube with numbers one through six

asambeis [7]

Probability is (desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)

ok, you must make a choice
1. if you believe that 1 is prime (which I don't) go to AAAAAAAAAAA
2. if you believe that 1 is NOT prime, go to BBBBBBBBBBB

AAAAAAAAAAAA
prime numbers from 1 to 6 are
1,2,3,5
desired outcomes=4
total possible =6
4/6=2/3

BBBBBBBBB
prime numbers from 1 to 6 are
2,3,5
3 desired outcomes
6 total possible

3/6=1/2

if you belive that 1 is prime, then 2/3 is probability
if you believe that 1 is NOT prime then 1/2 is probability
