Answer:
A. x = 5 (Equation below)
B. AC = 9 | BD = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Since we know the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, we know that the two bottom parts of the diagonal BD (2x - 8 and x - 4) are congruent to the diagonal AC (x + 2) . This means you can just equal them together and get the value of x:
2x - 8 + x - 4 = x + 2
3x - 12 = x + 2
3x = x + 14
2x = 14
x = 7
B. Just plug in 5 for x:
AC = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
BD = 2x - 8 + x -4 = 3x - 12 = 21 - 12 = 9
Let z = 3x+2. Then, by substitution, your equation is
.. z^2 +7z -8 = 0
_____
This equation can be factored as
.. (z +8)(z -1) = 0
.. x = -8 or +1
Then
.. 3x +2 = -8 or +1
.. 3x = -10 or -1
.. x = -10/3 or -1/3
Answer: B, 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4+4+4+5+5+6+6+6+6+9=55
55/10=5.5
Answer:
slope: 5/7
0.714 mile per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
slope: find the point where the line is right on the line graph, put y/x which is 10/14 make the fraction smaller which is 10/14 = 5/7(I divide the denominator and nominator by 2)
Mile per hour: 5/7 cross multiply with x/1, make into an equation:
7x=5 x 1
7x = 5
x = 0.714
The domain of f/g
consists of numbers x for which g(x) cannot equal 0 that are in the domains of
both f and g.
Let’s take this equation as an example:
If f(x) = 3x - 5 and g(x)
= square root of x-5, what is the domain of (f/g)x.
For x to be in the domain of (f/g)(x), it must be
in the domain of f and in the domain of g since (f/g)(x) = f(x)/g(x). We also
need to ensure that g(x) is not zero since f(x) is divided by g(x). Therefore,
there are 3 conditions.
x must be in the domain of f:
f(x) = 3x -5 are in the domain of x and all real numbers x.
x must be in the domain of g:
g(x) = √(x - 5) so x - 5 ≥ 0 so x ≥ 5.
g(x) can not be 0: g(x)
= √(x - 5) and √(x - 5) = 0 gives x = 5 so x ≠ 5.
Hence to x x ≥ 5 and x ≠ 5
so the domain of (f/g)(x) is all x satisfying x > 5.
Thus, satisfying <span>satisfy all
three conditions, x x ≥ 5 and x ≠ 5 so the domain of (f/g)(x) is all x
satisfying x > 5.</span>
