Answer:

Because BC=AD=8, segment BC ≅ Segment AD. Because these are horizontal line segments, their slopes are 0 and they are parallel.

Segment BC and AD are opposite sides that are both congruent and parallel. So ABCD is a parallelogram by the opposite sides congruent theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you count the boxes of segment BC you will get 8, same for if you count the boxes that make up segment AD. If they are the same distance they are congruent. You can see how BC and AD are both horizontal lines. To find the slope you need to do the slope formula for BC and AD, which is y2-y1/x2-x1 in our case BC= 4-4/12-4 which equals 0/8. If you do the same formula for AD, you will get 0/8 making them congruent and the slope 0. If the opposite sides are congruent and parallel it has to be a parallelogram by the opposites and congruent theorem.

Which two values of x are the roots of the polynomial below? <br> x^2+5x+11

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the possible answer choices.

Here we can actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula or some other approach.

a = 1, b = 5 and c = 11. Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or 5^2-4(1)(11). Since the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex. The discriminant value is 25-44, or -19.

Thus, the roots of the given poly are:

-5 plus or minus i√19

x = -----------------------------------

2(1)

or x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19

Answer:

$\large\boxed{b\geq3\to b\in[3,\ \infty)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(b-3)\geq3(3-b)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(2)(b)+(2)(-3)\geq(3)(3)+(3)(-b)\\\\2b-6\geq9-3b\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\2b-6+6\geq9+6-3b\\\\2b\geq15-3b\qquad\text{add}\ 3b\ \text{to both sides}\\\\2b+3b\geq15-3b+3b\\\\5b\geq15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5b}{5}\geq\dfrac{15}{5}\\\\b\geq3$
