Answer:

BC = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

B is the midpoint of AC

Then AC = AB + BC

AC = 8x - 20 and AB = 3x - 1

Then,

8x - 20 = (3x - 1) + BC

8x - 20 - (3x - 1) = BC

8x - 20 - 3x + 1 = BC

5x - 19 = BC

But AB = BC

5x - 19 = 3x - 1

5x - 3x = - 1 + 19

2x = 18

x = 9

Hence,

Since BC = AB = 3x - 1

3(9) - 1

27 - 1

= 26

What is the 185th digit in the following pattern 12345678910111213141516

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The 185th digit following that pattern of '12345678910111213141516' would be the number '5'

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason the 185th digit is '5' is because the pattern increases it's standard number by the following number (ex, 1,2,3,4,5, etc), and eventually it reached 185 as one of it's numbers, '5' would be the digit because the '18' part of 185 would only be the 184th digit, hence you are needed to include the '5' to complete the sequence of that number to reach the 185th digit.

I'm not sure what your book is saying about the matter but a cell phone is not usually an essential expense. If it is saying it is though, it would be an essential flexible expense.

A flat circular plate has the shape of the region x squared plus y squared less than or equals 1x2+y2≤1. the plate, including t

vredina [299]

You're looking for the extreme values of $x^2+3y^2+13x$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2\le1$ .

The target function has partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial x}=2x+13=0\implies x=-\dfrac{13}2$

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0$

so there is only one critical point at $\left(-\dfrac{13}2,0\right)$ . But this point does not fall in the region $x^2+y^2\le1$ . There are no extreme values in the region of interest, so we check the boundary.
