With any parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. This is another way of saying that they cut each other in half.

FH is one diagonal that is split into two equal pieces by the other diagonal EG.

The two parts of FH (KH and KF) are congruent to each other, so KH = KF. They combine back to FH


By the segment addition postulate
KH + KF = FH
KH + KH = FH .... KF has been replaced with KH (works because KF = KH)
2*KH = FH

Now use substitution
2*KH = FH
2*15 = FH .... replace KH with 15 (since KH = 15)
2*15 = 4x-2 ... replace FH with 4x-2 (since FH = 4x-2)

and solve for x
2*15 = 4x-2
30 = 4x-2
30+2 = 4x-2+2 ... add 2 to both sides
32 = 4x
4x = 32
4x/4 = 32/4 ... divide both sides by 4
x = 8

Question 1<br> Let f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 4 and g(x) = x + 5. Find (fg)(x).
Scilla [17]

The function (fg)(x) is a composite function

The value of the function (fg)(x) is 2x^3 + 7x^2 - 19x - 20

<h3>How to determine the function (fg)(x)?</h3>

The functions are given as:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 4 and g(x) = x + 5.

To calculate (fg)(x), we make use of

(fg)(x) = f(x) * g(x)

So, we  have:

(fg)(x) = (2x^2 - 3x - 4) * (x + 5)

Expand

(fg)(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 10x^2 - 15x - 20

Collect like terms

(fg)(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 + 10x^2 - 4x - 15x - 20

Evaluate

(fg)(x) = 2x^3 + 7x^2 - 19x - 20

Hence, the function (fg)(x) is 2x^3 + 7x^2 - 19x - 20

Please Simplify 5(x - 6)
nordsb [41]

Our equation looks like:

5(x-6)

This means that we will need to distribute. This means that we need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside of the parenthesis. (<em>Note: you only distribute when variables are involved.)</em>

(5 \cdot x)-(5 \cdot 6)

Simplify:

5x-30

We cannot simplify any further, so we know that our equation, until we know what x equals, is 5x - 30.
