4. FGH - MNP. Solve for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

\frac{MN}{FG} = \frac{NP}{GH} , substitute values

\frac{x}{12} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} ( cross- multiply )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

QUESTION 1:
Romashka [77]

Q1

I like to use the standard form to write the equation of a perpendicular line, especially when the original equation is in that form. The perpendicular line will have the x- and y-coefficients swapped and one negated (remember this for Question 3). Thus, it will be

... 5x - 2y = 5(6) - 2(16) = -2

Solving for y (to get slope-intercept form), we find

... y = (5/2)x + 1 . . . . . matches selection C

Q2

The given equation has slope -3/6 = -1/2, so that will be the slope of the parallel line. (matches selection A)

Q3

See Q1 for an explanation. The appropriate choice is ...

... B. 4x - 3y = 5

Q4

The given line has slope -2, so you can eliminate all choices except ...

... D. -2x

Q5

The two lines have the same slope (3), but different intercepts, so they are ...

... A. parallel

New streetlights will be installed along a section of the highway. The posts for the streetlights will be 7.5 m tall and made of
SIZIF [17.4K]
First, we determine the volumes of the posts may it be cylindrical in shape or rectangular prism. 

(A) cylindrical:
                         ( π(26.7/100)² - π(24.2/100)²)*(7.5) = 0.3 m³
(B) rectangular prism:
                          (40/100)²(7.5) - (35/100)²(7.5) = 0.28125 m³

Then, we calculate for the amount of substance
 (A) cylindrical:   (0.3 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 810 kg
 (B) rectangular prism : (0.28125 m³)(2700 kg/m³) = 759.375 kg

Then, calculate for the costs
 (A) (810 kg)($0.38/kg) = $307.8
 (B) (759.375 kg)($0.38/kg) = $288.56

Thus, the answer for A is rectangular post 
B. About $19.24 can be saved.

Two terms of an arithmetic sequence are a10=16 and a35=66 find the sum of the first 75 terms
andrew11 [14]

The sum of the first 75 terms of the arithmetic sequence that has 10th term as 16 and the 35th term as 66 is 5400.  

<h3>How to find the sum of terms using Arithmetic sequence formula</h3>

aₙ = a + (n - 1)d

where

  • a = first term
  • d = common difference
  • n = number of terms

Therefore, let's find a and d

a₁₀ = a + (10 - 1)d

a₃₅ = a + (35 - 1)d

Hence,

16 = a + 9d

66 = a + 34d

25d = 50

d = 50 / 25

d = 2

16 - 9(2) = a

a = 16 - 18

a  = -2

Therefore, let's find the sum of 75 terms of the arithmetic sequence

Sₙ = n / 2 (2a + (n - 1)d)

S₇₅ = 75 / 2 (2(-2) + (75 - 1)2)

S₇₅ = 37.5 (-4 + 148)

S₇₅ = 37.5(144)

S₇₅ = 5400

3. Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution? A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3 B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3) C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 +
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following quadratic equations has no solution?

We have to solve the Quadratic equation for all the options in other to get a positive value as a solution for x.

A) 0 = −2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = -2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (-2x + 10) × 5

0 = -10x + 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5

Option A has a solution of 5

B) 0 = −2(x − 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate them to zero

-2 = 0

= 0

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Option B has a solution by one of its factors as a positive value of 5

C) 0 = 2(x − 5)2 + 3

0 = 2(x - 5) × 5

0 = (2x -10) × 5

0 = 10x -50

-10x = -50

x = -50/-10

x = 5

Option C has a solution of 5

D) 0 = 2(x + 5)(x + 3)

Take each of the factors and equate to zero

0 = 2

= 0

x + 5 = 0

x = -5

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

For option D, all the values of x are 0, or negative values of -5 and -3.

Therefore the Quadratic Equation for option D has no solution.
