Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The first thing you must do is notice that <D = <BEA. Mark it that way on your diagram.

The Second thing you need to notice is that <BEA and <A are equal because <A and <D are marked as equal.

So both the large triangle and the small one are isosceles. because 2 of the 3 angles are equal.

Now are you ready for this? That means that BA = 10 because BA is opposite one of the 2 equal angles in the small triangle. So now you are ready to set up a proportion.

Proportion

AB / AC = AE/AD

Givens

AB = 10

AC = 18

AE = 8

AD = x + 8

Solution

Substitute the Givens into the Proportion.

10/18 = 8/(x + 8) Cross multiply

10(x + 8) = 8 * 18 Simplify both sides

10x + 80 = 144 Subtract 80 from both sides

10x + 80 - 80 = 144 - 80

10x = 64 Divide by 10

10x/10 = 64/10

Answer: x = 6.4

What is the solution to y=6x+25 y=12x-9

prisoha [69]

Answer:

x=17/3, y=59. (17/3, 59).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=6x+25

y=12x-9

--------------

6x+25=12x-9

12x-6x-9=25

6x-9=25

6x=25+9

6x=34

x=34/6=17/3

y=12(17/3)-9=4*17-9=68-9=59

NO LINKS!!! What is the transformation f(x)= x^3:

Mama L [17]

Answer:

4. Horizontal shrink by a factor of ¹/₅

5. Left 5, Up 5

6. Right 5, Down 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformations of Graphs (functions) is the process by which a function is moved or resized to produce a variation of the original (parent) function.

Transformations

For a > 0

$f(x+a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units left}$

$f(x-a) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units right}$

$f(x)+a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units up}$

$f(x)-a \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:a\:\textsf{units down}$

$y=a\:f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the y-axis (vertically) by a factor of}\:a$

$y=f(ax) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the x-axis (horizontally) by a factor of} \: \dfrac{1}{a}$

$y=-f(x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: x \textsf{-axis}$

$y=f(-x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{reflected in the} \: y \textsf{-axis}$

Identify the transformations that take the parent function to the given function.

Question 4

$\textsf{Parent function}: \quad f(x)=x^3$

$\textsf{Given function}: \quad f(x)=(5x)^3$

Comparing the parent function with the given function, we can see that the x-value of the parent function has been multiplied by 5.

Therefore, the transformation is:

$y=f(5x) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{stretched parallel to the x-axis (horizontally) by a factor of} \: \dfrac{1}{5}$

As a > 1, the transformation visually is a compression in the x-direction, so we can also say: Horizontal shrink by a factor of ¹/₅

Question 5

$\textsf{Parent function}: \quad f(x)=x^3$

$\textsf{Given function}: \quad f(x)=(x+5)^3+5$

Comparing the parent function with the given function, we can see that there are a series of transformations:

Step 1

5 has been added to the x-value of the parent function.

$f(x+5) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:5\:\textsf{units left}$

Step 2

5 has then been added to function.

$f(x+5)+5 \implies f(x+5) \: \textsf{translated}\:5\:\textsf{units up}$

Transformation: Left 5, Up 5

Question 6

$\textsf{Parent function}: \quad f(x)=x^3$

$\textsf{Given function}: \quad f(x)=(x-5)^3-5$

Comparing the parent function with the given function, we can see that there are a series of transformations:

Step 1

5 has been subtracted from the x-value of the parent function.

$f(x-5) \implies f(x) \: \textsf{translated}\:5\:\textsf{units right}$

Step 2

5 has then been subtracted from function.

$f(x-5)-5 \implies f(x-5) \: \textsf{translated}\:5\:\textsf{units down}$

Transformation: Right 5, Down 5

The set of life spans of an appliance is normally distributed with a mean mu = 48 months and a standard deviation sigma = 8 mont

navik [9.2K]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the life span of an appliance that has a z-score of –3 is of 24 months.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

$\mu = 48, \sigma = 8, Z = -3$ .

Hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-3 = \frac{X - 48}{8}$

X - 48 = -24

X = 24.

The life span of an appliance that has a z-score of –3 is of 24 months.

Mai poured `2.6` liters of water into a partially-filled pitcher. The pitcher now contains `10.4` liters. Mai wants to know how

prisoha [69]

Answer: 7.8

Step-by-step explanation: If we want to find the amount that was in the pitcher before then we subtract 2.6 from 10.4 to find the original amount because if the pitcher were to contain an amount that only adds up to 10.4 before we add 2.6 then the number that adds with 2.6 to equal 10.4 is our answer

hence our answer 7.8
