Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that

AB || DC

BC || AE

Based on this we can conclude that

If AB || DC

So we can say

∠ABE ≅ ∠CDB                  

This indicates that the alternate interior angles are congruent i.e its angle and sides are equal  

Now

If BC || AE  

So we can say  

∠CBD ≅ ∠BEA              

This indicates that the alternate interior angles are congruent i.e its angle and sides are equal  

Now

ΔAEB is same as ΔCBD    

This indicates that in one triangle two angles are same to another two angles so both triangles are similar to each other i.e this is a AA Similarity Postulate  

Finally we proof

\frac{BC}{EA} = \frac{BD}{EB}

As the same sides are proportional to each other

We compared both based on interior angles

The area of a certain desert desert one is five times the area of another desert desert 2 if the sum of their areas is 24, 000,
sweet-ann [11.9K]

4,000,000 and 20,000,000 miles²

let x be the area of one desert then 5x is the area of the other

sum = x + 5x = 24,000,000

6x = 24,000,000

divide both sides by 6

x = 4,000,000

one desert is 4,000,000 miles²

and the other is (5 × 4,000,000)= 20,000,000 miles²

3x + 4y = 12<br> Convert to slope-intercept form
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

y=-3/4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 3x from both sides:  4y=-3x+12

Divide both sides by 4:  y=-3/4y+3

x = c1 cos(t) + c2 sin(t) is a two-parameter family of solutions of the second-order DE x'' + x = 0. Find a solution of the seco
igomit [66]

Answer:

x=-cos(t)+2sin(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is very simple, since they give us the solution from the start. However I will show you how they came to that solution:

A differential equation of the form:

a_n y^n +a_n_-_1y^{n-1}+...+a_1y'+a_oy=0

Will have a characteristic equation of the form:

a_n r^n +a_n_-_1r^{n-1}+...+a_1r+a_o=0

Where solutions r_1,r_2...,r_n are the roots from which the general solution can be found.

For real roots the solution is given by:

y(t)=c_1e^{r_1t} +c_2e^{r_2t}

For real repeated roots the solution is given by:

y(t)=c_1e^{rt} +c_2te^{rt}

For complex roots the solution is given by:

y(t)=c_1e^{\lambda t} cos(\mu t)+c_2e^{\lambda t} sin(\mu t)

Where:

r_1_,_2=\lambda \pm \mu i

Let's find the solution for x''+x=0 using the previous information:

The characteristic equation is:

r^{2} +1=0

So, the roots are given by:

r_1_,_2=0\pm \sqrt{-1} =\pm i

Therefore, the solution is:

x(t)=c_1cos(t)+c_2sin(t)

As you can see, is the same solution provided by the problem.

Moving on, let's find the derivative of x(t) in order to find the constants c_1 and c_2:

x'(t)=-c_1sin(t)+c_2cos(t)

Evaluating the initial conditions:

x(0)=-1\\\\-1=c_1cos(0)+c_2sin(0)\\\\-1=c_1

And

x'(0)=2\\\\2=-c_1sin(0)+c_2cos(0)\\\\2=c_2

Now we have found the value of the constants, the solution of the second-order IVP is:

x=-cos(t)+2sin(t)

Simplify 270 ÷ 3[(4 - 3)3 - (-9)] - 53
Andreyy89
270 / 3 ( (4 - 3) 3 - (-9) ) - 53
270 / 3 (1 x 3 - (-9) ) - 53
270 / 3 (3 + 9) - 53
270 / 3 x 12 - 53
In PEMDAS, with multiplication and division, you must go left to right, not multiplication then division.
90 x 12 - 53
1080 - 53
