Answer:

x=40.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Since HYV and AYB are similar, we know that the sides in each of the triangles with have the same ratio to each of their corresponding sides.

For example, YV/YB=YH/YA.

Now we have to find the ratio of the sides which can be done using the lengths of segments YB and YV. YB=16 YV=16+22=38 38/16=2.375

2.375 is our ratio.

Next we are going to find the length of YH so we can determine x.

YA=17 YH=17*2.375=40.375

The length of side YH=40.375 which is equal to x.

An object has a constant acceleration of 10 ft/sec2, an initial velocity of -20 ft/sec, and an initial position of 8 ft. Find th

Neporo4naja [7]

The equation of motion is
s(t) = (1/2)a·t² +v₀·t +s₀
where a is the acceleration, v₀ is the initial velocity, and s₀ is the initial position.

For t in seconds and s(t) in feet, your values make this equation be
s(t) = 5t² -20t +8

Evaluate the algebraic expression.<br> y^2+x+y when x=-3 and y=-4

Amanda [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

you put the values in place of the variable names and calculate.

y² + x + y

(-4)² + -3 + -4 = 16 - 3 - 4 = 16 - 7 = 9
