Solve similar triangles (advanced)

Mathematics
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.

  AB/BC = CG/GE

  x/1 = 9/4

  x = 9/4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...

  (9+x)/x = 5/1

We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.

When x2+3x-4 is subtracted from x (x2+3x-2) what is the difference
tankabanditka [31]
I'm assuming this is x^2 + 3x - 4 and x(x^2 + 3x - 2)

1.) First distribute x(x^2 + 3x - 2) to get x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x.

2.) Because you are subtracting all the terms from x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x, it's the same thing as distributing -1 to x^2 + 3x - 4 and then adding it to x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x.

3.) -1(x^2 + 3x - 4) = -x^2 - 3x + 4

4.) Add (x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x) + (-x^2 - 3x + 4)

5.) x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 4 is your final answer.
