Answer:

EG = 19

Explanation:

Given that a line segment CD. EF bisects the line CD at point G.

Length of CG = 5x-1

Length of GD = 7x - 13

We know that CG = GD

5x-1 = 7x-13

Solve for x,

2x = 12

x = 6

Now given that,

EF = 6x-4

GF = 13

EF = EG + GF

6x - 4 = EG + 13

EG = 6x - 4 - 13

EG = 6x - 17

put the value of x = 6, in order to find the EG

EG = 6*6 - 17

EG = 19

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.

5x-1=7x-13 —> subtract 7x from both sides and add 1 to both sides —> -2x-12 —> divide both sides by -2 —> x=6

We will evaluate both expressions step by step.

Sylvia's espression:
h + 0.05h
h: Original hat price.
0.05h: Increase of 5% due to sales tax.

Jin's expressions:
1.05h
h: Original hat price.
1.05: Factor for which you must multiply the original price to add 5% due to sales tax.

Let f be the function given by f(x)=3xsinx. What is the average value of f on the closed interval 1≤x≤7 ?

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

-2.92178

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function $f(x)=3x\ sin x$

The average,A is calculated using the formula;

$A=\frac{1}{b-a}\int\limits^a_b F(x)\, dx \\\\A=\frac{1}{7-1}\int\limits^7_1 3x \ Sin \ x\, dx \\\\\\=\frac{3}{6}\int\limits^7_1 x \ Sin \ x\, dx \\\\\#Integration\ by\ parts, u=x, v \prime=sin(x)\\=0.5[-xcos(x)-\int-cos(x)dx]\limits^7_1\\\\=0.5[-xcos(x)-(-sin(x))]\limits^7_1\\\\=0.5[-xcos(x)+sin(x)]\limits^7_1\\\\=0.5[-6.82595--0.98240]\\\\=-2.92178$

Hence, the average of the function is -2.92178

Two rectangular properties share a common side. Lot A is 33 feet wide and 42 feet long.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The width of lot B is 11 feet, so option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two rectangular properties share a common side.

Lot A is 33 feet wide and 42 feet long.

The combined area of the lots = 1,848 square feet.

To find:

How many feet wide is Lot B?

Solution:

we know that, area of a rectangle is length x breadth

Then area of lot A = 33 x 42 = 1386 square feet.

And area of lot B = width x 42

Now, we are given that, total area = 1848

area of lot A + area of lot B = 1848

1386 + width x 42 = 1848

width x 42 = 1848 – 1386

width x 42 = 462

$width =\frac{42}{462}$

width = 11

Hence, the width of lot B is 11 feet, so option A is correct.
