Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ EAB and Δ EDC are similar by the AA postulate , so the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

$\frac{AB}{DC}$ = $\frac{EA}{ED}$ , substitute values

$\frac{10}{4}$ = $\frac{2x+10}{x+3}$ ( cross- multiply )

10(x + 3) = 4(2x + 10 ) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

10x + 30 = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x + 30 = 40 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

Let f(x)=x. The graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical stretch of 4 units and a translation of 4 uni

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$g(x) = 4x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x)=x.

If we stretch vertically by a factor of 4 and a translation of 4 units up then the new function becomes

$g(x) = 4f(x) + 4$

But f(x)=x

We substitute to obtain the equation of g(x) as

$g(x) = 4x + 4$

How many distinguishable 7 letter "words" can be formed using the letters in alabamaalabama?

otez555 [7]

You are given the word alabama and you are asked to find how many distinguishable 7 letter "words" can be formed from it.

ALABAMA has seven letters so we will start at 7!
Counting the number of A's in the word we have 4 A's and so we will divide it by 4!
Counting the number of L's in the word we have 1 L and so we will divide it by 1!
Counting the number of B's in the word we have 1 B and so we will divide it by 1!
Counting the number of M's in the word we have 1 M and so we will divide it by 1!

And so the number of ways is 7! / (4! x 1! x 1! x 1!) = 210 words.
