Answer:
<h3>AC=96 units.</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.
, and CE=6x .
<em>Note: The diagonals of a parallelogram intersects at mid-point.</em>
Therefore, AE = EC.
Plugging expressions for AE and EC, we get
Subtracting 6x from both sides, we get
Factoriong quadratic by product sum rule.
We need to find the factors of -16 that add upto -6.
-16 has factors -8 and +2 that add upto -6.
Therefore, factor of quadratic is (x-8)(x+2)=0
Setting each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.
x-8=0 => x=8
x+2=0 => x=-2.
We can't take x=-2 as it's a negative number.
Therefore, plugging x=8 in EC =6x, we get
EC = 6(8) = 48.
<h3>AC = AE + EC = 48+48 =96 units.</h3>
Answer:
c)No, P is the distance from A to B, and Q is the distance from B to A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Point P partitions the directed segment from A to B into a 1:3 ratio.
Ratio is 1:3
So AP is 1 and PB is 3
Q partitions the directed segment from B to A into a 1:3 ratio.
Ratio is 1:3
So BQ is 1 and QA is 3.
That is AQ= 3 and BQ= 1
The ratio of Q and P varies
AP =1 and AQ=3
So P and Q are not at the same point.
Because P is the distance from A to B and Q is the distance from B to A
Answer:
4 nickels
12 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimes are worth .1 each while nickels are .05 each.
We have 8 more dimes than nickels. Let d represent number of dimes and n for number of nickels. This means we have d=8+n.
If all our nickels and dimes together are worth 1.4 then we have another equation .1d+.05n=1.4
Lets put our equations together:
d=8+n
.1d+.05n=1.4
‐-----------------Plug first equation into second.
.1(8+n)+.05n=1.4
Distribute
.8+.1n+.05n=1.4
Combine like terms
.8+.15n=1.4
Subtract .8 on both sides
.15n=.6
Divide both sides by .15
n=.6/.15=4
Remember there are 8 more dimes so d=8+4=12.
Answer:
The probability of Yarborough when you are randomly dealt 13 cards out of a well-shuffled deck of 52 card is 0.000547.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ways you can choose a set of 13 different cards from a deck of 52 cards is given by 52P13.
Hence the unordered sample space has 52P13 equally likely outcomes. The number of outcomes with no card above a nine is 32P13.
This leads to the same value for the desired probability of a Yarborough:
32P13 / 52P13 = 0.000547.
Answer: 2/3
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we have 8/15 ÷ 4/5. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.
8/15 ÷ 4/5 can be rewritten as 8/15 × 5/4
Now, we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and multiply across the denominators.
8/15 × 5/4 = 40/60 = 2/3
