Help with Similarity Triangles Geometry. I dont understand how to solve for x on this one.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
6 0

since we know those two triangles are similar then we can use proportions.

\cfrac{AE}{AB}=\cfrac{AD}{AC}\implies \cfrac{14-8}{2x}=\cfrac{14}{2x+4}\implies \cfrac{6}{2x}=\cfrac{14}{2x+4}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{14}{2x+4} \\\\\\ 6x+12=14x\implies 12=8x\implies \cfrac{12}{8}=x\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ AB=2x+4\implies AB=2\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)+4\implies AB=3+4\implies AB=7

When a scatter chart of data shows a nonlinear relationship, the nonlinear model can be expressed as:______.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear model can be assessed by the checking the independent variables having power 1 which shows the linear relationship between x and y. For example, as in the option B, C and D, the power of Xi's is one. Whereas the non linear model has the power for independent variables greater than 1. For example, as in option  A the model is a quadratic model because X associated with β2 has a power of a 2.

Thus the nonlinear model can be expressed as

Y = β0 + β1X + (β2X)2 + ε.

Will make you brainliest!!! If correct!!
Virty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - \frac{1}{4} x + 3 ( equation of line t )

y - (- 2) = - \frac{1}{4} [ x - (- 2)] ⇒ y = - \frac{1}{4} x - \frac{5}{2} ( equation of line u )

What equation is parallel to the line y=-3x+1 and goes through (-5,-6)
kherson [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Hey let solve this!!!</h2>

the formular we're to use is the point slope formula

<h2>y - y1 = m( x - x1 ) </h2>

<h2>from y = - 3x +1 </h2>

SLOPE = -3

and x1= -5 y1 = -6

HENCE

Y - Y1 = M (X- X1)

y-(-6) = -3( x--5)

y+ 6 = -3 (x+5 )

y+6 = -3x -15

y= -3x-15-6

y= -3x -21
