Answer:

de=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that b is the midpoint of ac

ac=cd, ab=3x+4,ac=11x-17 and ce=49

We have to find the value of de

b is the midpoint of ac therefore we have

ab=bc

ac=ab+bc=ab+ab=2ab

$11x-17=2(3x+4)$

$11x-17=6x+8$

$11x-6x=8+17=25$

$5x=25$

$x=\frac{25}{5}=5$

Then , substitute the value of x

$ab=3(5)+4=19$

ac= $11(5)-17=55-17=38=cd$

ce=cd+de

49=38+de

$de=49-38$

de=11

First, we draw our line.

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

a e

Next, break up this line into segments using the information.

|----------------------|----------------------|--------------------|------------------|

a b c d e

The entire line is 29.

ab + bc + cd + de = ae

ab + bc + cd + de = 29

You also know that

bd = bc + cd

Due to midpoint theorem,

ab = bc

cd = de

Then,

2ab + 2cd = 29

The equations we will use are

bd = bc + cd eq1

2bc + 2cd = 29 eq2

Dividing both sides of the equation in eq2 yields

bc + cd = 14.5

bd = bc + cd

bd = 14.5

What is the y-intercept of the function,represented by the table of values below?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.

Advocard [28]

The volume of a sphere is given by:

$V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

So, we need to deduct this equation. We will walk through Calculus on the concept of a solid of revolution that is a solid figure that is obtained by rotating a plane curve around some straight line (the axis of revolution) that lies on the same plane. We know from calculus that:

 $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[f(x)]^{2}dx$

Then, according to the concept of solid of revolution we are going to rotate a circumference shown in the figure, then:

 $x^{2}+y^{2}=r^{2}$

Isolationg y:

 $y= \sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ 

So,

 $f(x)=y=\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}$ 

 $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}[\sqrt{r^{2}-x^{2}}]^{2}dx$

 $V=\pi \int_{a}^{b}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$ 

being -r and r the limits of this integral.

 $V=\pi \int_{-r}^{r}(r^{2}-x^{2})dx$

Solving:

 $V=\pi[r^{2}x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}]\right|_{-r}^{r}$

Finally:

 $V=\pi(r^{3}-\frac{r^{3}}{3})-\pi(-r^{3}+\frac{r^{3}}{3})= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Ramesh examined the pattern in the table. Powers of 7 Value 2,401 343 49 7 1 Ramesh says that based on the pattern . Which state

earnstyle [38]

1) You included neihter what Ramesh says nor the statements, then I can you tell some facts about the pattern.

2) The sequence is: 2401, 343, 49, 7, and 1.

3) The first term is 2401

4) The sequence is a decreasing geometric one.

5) The ratio is found dividing two consecutive terms (the second by the first, or the third by the second, or the fourth by the third, or the fifth by fourth):

1/7 = 7 / 49 = 49 / 343 = 343 / 2401.

So, the ratio is 1/7

6) The sum of that sequence is 2401 + 343 + 49 + 7 + 1 = 2801

PQ=2x+1 and QR=5x-44; Find PR

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15
