C - 10 = g
L - 5 = C

g = 5

then altogether he finds

40 bugs

Let the number of grasshoppers be g

As we have: Jeff finds 10 Fewer grasshoppers than crickets.

So Number of cricket (C ) can be given by

C=g+10......(i)

Jeff finds 5 fewer crickets than Lady bugs.

Let the number of lady bugs be l then, we can write

l=C+5....(ii)

we are given g=5, substitute this in equation (i), we get

C=5+10\\ \\ C=15\\

Now substitute this value of C in equation (ii), we get

l=15+5\\ \\ l=20\\

Hence number of crickets =15

The law of cosines is a2+b2-2abcosC=c2 find the value of 2abcosC
quester [9]
Isolating 2abCos(c) on one side of the equation and using the given values of a, b and c we can find the answer to this question as shown below:

a^{2} + b^{2} -2ab*cos(C)=c^{2}  \\  \\ 
2ab *cos(C)=  a^{2} + b^{2} - c^{2}  \\  \\ 
2ab *cos(C)=2^{2} + 2^{2}- 1^{2} \\  \\ 
2ab*cos(C) = 7

which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = b2 – 75? check all that apply. b = 5 square root of 3 b = -5 square root of
malfutka [58]
<span>The answers are b = 5 square root of 3; b = -5 square root of 3. f(b) = b^2 – 75. If f(b) = 0, then b^2 – 75 ) 0. b^2 = 75. b = √75. b = √(25 * 3). b = √25 * √3. b = √(5^2) * √3. Since √x is either -x or x, then √25 = √(5^2) is either -5 or 5. Therefore. b = -5√3 or b = 5√3.</span>

Does the construction demonstrate how to bisect a segment correctly by hand?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we can clearly tell that a straightedge was used to create CD but that doesn't prove anything so we can eliminate the second and fourth options. Upon measuring the lengths of AC and CB, we see that they are equal so the answer is Yes; the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D. The reason why this is so important is because we know that AC = CB = BD = DA because the compass width is the same, so therefore, ACBD is a rhombus based on the definition of a rhombus. We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other and since CD and AB are diagonals, we know that CD bisects AB.
