Proportions in similar triangles. need help

Mathematics
1 answer:
erik [133]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the triangle sides proportionally:

  (6x -1)/42 = (10x +5)/78

  13(6x -1) = 7(10x +5) . . . . multiply by 546 (the LCM of 42 and 78)

  78x -13 = 70x +35 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  8x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 13-70x

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The unknown segment lengths are ...

  6·6 -1 = 35

  10·6 +5 = 65

Then the ratios to the known sides are ...

  35/42 = 65/78 = 5/6

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

A = \frac{1}{2}

B = \frac{2}{3}

The product:

A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}

A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}

A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}

A * B = \frac{1}{3}

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

A = \frac{1}{2}

B = \frac{2}{3}

The quotient:

A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}

Express as product

A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}

A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}

A / B = \frac{3}{4}

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

x = \frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{2}{3}

The sum:

x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}

Take LCM

x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}

x + y = \frac{7}{6}

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

Describe the transformation of f(x) to g(x)
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

D. f(x) is shifted up 1 unit to g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Just let's look at the y-intercept of each function.

f(0) = 0

g(0) = 1

Also remember that a vertical shift of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

where if N is positive, the shift is upwards, and if N is negative, the shift is downwards.

then we can write, for the particular value x = 0

g(0) = f(0) + N

replacing the values

1 = 0 + N

1 = N

Then N is positive, so we have a shift up of one unit.

The correct option is:

D. f(x) is shifted up 1 unit to g(x).
