Isosceles trapezoid ABCD has legs AB and CD, and base BC. If AB = 3y - 4, BC = 2y -3, and CD = 4y - 18, find the value of y.

Answer:

   (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is an isosceles trapezoid the length of the two legs (i.e.  AB = 5y-10 and CD = 2y+8) are equal.  In other words,

5y - 10 = 2 y + 8

Subtract 2y from each side:

5y - 2y - 10 = 8

Now add 10 to each side

5y - 2y - 10 + 10 = 8 + 10 =>

3y + 0 = 18 =>  

3y = 18 =>

y = 6

What is the name of the intersection point? Explain.

<h3>Answer: Midpoint</h3>

Explanation:

The drawings you made are constructions of the perpendicular bisector. The "perpendicular" refers to the fact the second line meets the first line at a right angle (aka 90 degree angle). The "bisector" portion indicates the segment has been bisected, which is mathematical way of saying "cut in half".

The key here is the "bisector" portion. Because we've cut a segment like AB in half, this means segment AC and CB are the same length. The point C is the midpoint of AB. Point C is formed by intersecting the perpendicular bisector and the original segment. I'm referring to drawing (a), but the same idea applies to drawing (b) as well. I recommend using another letter than C for the second drawing.

1. If a polynomial of Degree 4 has an imaginary zero at -2i and a real zero at 5, how many imaginary zeros does it have?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Complex roots for polynomials equations will always come in conjugate pairs.  Since 1-2i is a root, 1+2i will also be a root.  (Just switch the sign of the imaginary part to its opposite.)

Step-by-step explanation:

So far we have 1-2i and 1+2i as roots.  We need two more to make a 4th degree polynomial.

x=1 with multiplicity of 2 means that we count the root twice when we write down the polynomial: (x - 1)(x - 1) = (x - 1)2

Putting it all together, we can construct our polynomial of degree 4 as

y = f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 1)[x - (1-2i)][x - (1+2i)]

Multiply the factors (FOIL):

[x - (1-2i)][x - (1+2i)] =

x2 - (1+2i)x - (1-2i)x + (1-2i)(1+2i) =

x2 - x - 2ix - x + 2ix + (1 + 2i - 2i + 4) =

x2 - 2x + 5

(x - 1)(x - 1) = x2 - x - x + 1 = x2 - 2x + 1

Now multiply the two underlined expressions:

y = (x2 - 2x + 5)(x2 - 2x + 1)

= x4 - 2x3 + 5x2 - 2x3 + 4x2 - 10x + x2 - 2x + 5  by multiplying term by term

= x4 - 4x3 + 10x2 -12x + 5 by collecting like terms.

Need urgent help in mathematics!! Will mark brainliest!!!!
sesenic [268]

Hey there!!

How do we solve this problem :

We will use the combinations formula to solve this :

c ( n , r ) where n = 11 and r = 2

c ( n , r ) =  n ! / r ! ( n - r ) !

... 11 ! / 2 ! ( 11 - 2 ) !

... 11! / 2! × 9!

... 11! / 2 × 9!

... 11×10×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2 / 2×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2

... 11×10 / 2

... 11 × 5

... 55 combinations.

Hence, the required answer = 55 , option ( d )

Hope my answer helps!

Answer:

  DJ = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid (J) divides the median into parts that have the ratio 2:1.

  DJ : JH = 2 : 1

  DJ : (DJ +JH) = 2 : (2+1)

  DJ : DH = 2 : 3

  DJ = (2/3)DH = (2/3)(72)

  DJ = 48
