a polygon of 100 sides has all possible drawn from a chosen vertex to the others. how many triangles are formed

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for a 4 sided polygon you can only draw one diagonal from one vertex so it forms 2 triangles.

For 5 sides you get 3 triangles

For 6 sides - 4

For 7 sides - 5

For 8 sides - 6

Looks like we get 2 less triangles than the number of sides in the polygon

Answer for 100 sides is 98 triangles.

What is the difference? StartFraction 2 x + 5 Over x squared minus 3 x EndFraction minus StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over x cubed minu

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 2) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2x + 5) / (x² - 3x) - (3x + 5) / (x³ - 9x) - (x + 1) / x² - 9

Factor the denominators

(2x + 5) / x(x - 3) - (3x + 5) / x(x - 3)(x + 3) - (x + 1) / (x - 3)(x + 3)

Lowest common multiple of the 3 fractions is x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= (2x+5)(x+3) - (3x + 5) - (x + 1)x / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= (2x²+6x+5x+15) - (3x + 5) - (x² + x) / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= 2x² + 11x + 15 - 3x - 5 - x² - x / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= x² + 7x + 10 / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

Solve the numerator.

Solve the quadratic expression by finding two numbers whose product is 10 and sum is 7

The numbers are 5 and 2

= x² + 5x + 2x + 10 / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= x(x + 5) + 2(x + 5) / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

= (x + 5)(x + 2) / x(x - 3)(x + 3)

A. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 2) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

Recall,

x(x - 3)(x + 3) is a factor of x³ - 8x

A. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 2) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

(x + 5)(x + 2) / x³ - 9x

B. StartFraction (x + 5) (x + 4) Over x cubed minus 9 x EndFraction

(x + 5)(x + 4) / x³ - 9x

C. StartFraction negative 2 x + 11 Over x cubed minus 12 x minus 9 EndFraction

2x + 11 / x³ - 12x - 9

D. StartFraction 3 (x + 2) Over x squared minus 3 x EndFraction

3(x + 2) / x² - 3x

if BD is perpendicular to AC M angle DBE equals 2x - 1 + m angle CBE equals 5x - 42 find the value of x

Paha777 [63]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

I've drawn a graph in order to a better understanding of this problem. We know that:

BC is perpendicular to AC

∠DBE = 2x - 1

∠CBE = 5x - 42

Let's call the intersection of line BC and AC the point P, so:

∠P=90°

And points B, P and C form the triangle ΔBPC. On the other hand, ∠CBE and ∠PCB are Alternate Interior Angles, so:

∠PCB = ∠CBE = 5x - 42

Moreover:

∠PBC = 2x - 1 - (5x - 42)

∠PBC = 2x - 1 - 5x + 42

∠PBC = -3x + 41

The internal angles of any triangle add up to 180°. Hence for ΔBPC:

90° + ∠PBC + ∠PCB = 180°

90° - 3x + 41 + 5x - 42 = 180°

2x + 89 = 180

2x = 91

x = 45.5°

sophie makes homemade pizza dough.The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour for every 1/3 cup of water.What is the rate in cups of fl

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

the rate is: 6 cups of flour per cup of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that rate involve quotient of the two quantities in question:

Then cups of flour per cups of water is the quotient: 2 cups of flour divided by 1/3 cup of water:

$\frac{2}{\frac{1}{3} } =2\,*\,\frac{3}{1} = 6$

this means 6 cups of flour per cup of water
