Mathematics

Given:

Two similar triangles AEB and ACD.

To solve for x, we can use ratio and proportion following the rule for similar triangles. 

So,

AE / AD = AB / AC

Substitute values,

AE = AD - DE
AE = 6 - 5
AE = 1

1 / 6 = 2 / (2 + x + 4)

Solve for x 

x = 6

then,

BC = x +4 = 6 + 4 = 10
AC = 2 + x + 4 = 12

Therefore, the measurements of the triangles are:

AE = 1 
BC = 10
AC = 12

A gas station offers two ways to pay for oil changes. Plan 1: Pay $30 per oil change. y = 30x Plan 2: Pay $60 for the first oil
Kazeer [188]
It will take 4 oil changes

y = 30X

120=30(4)


y= 15X + 60

y= 15(4) + 60

y = 60 + 60

y= 120

An exponential function and a quadratic function are graphed below. Which of the following is true of the growth rate of the fun
aleksley [76]
Given an exponential function, say f(x), such that f(0) = 1 and f(1) = 2 and a quadratic finction, say g(x), such that g(0) = 0 and g(1) = 1.

The rate of change of a function f(x) over an interval
a \leq x \leq b
is given by
\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Thus, the rate of change (growth rate) of the exponential function, f(x) over the interval
0 \leq x \leq 1
is given by
\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0} = \frac{2-1}{1} =1

Similarly, the rate of change (growth rate) of the quadratic function, g(x) over the interval
0 \leq x \leq 1
is given by
\frac{g(1)-g(0)}{1-0} = \frac{1-0}{1} =1

Therefore, the exponential grows at the same rate as the quadratic in the interval <span>0 \leq x \leq 1.</span>
