Answer:

EG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- If a line bisects another line that means the point of intersection

 divides the second line into two equal parts

∵ EF bisects CD at G

∴ CG = GD

∵ CG = 5x - 1

∵ GD = 7x - 13

∴ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

* Lets solve the equation

∵ 7x - 13 = 5x - 1

- Subtract 5x from both sides and add 13 to both sides

∴ 7x - 5x = 13 - 1

∴ 2x = 12

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 6

- Point G divides EF into two parts EG and GF

∴ EF = EG + GF

∵ EF = 6x - 4

- Substitute the value of x to find EF

∵ x = 6

∴ EF = 6(6) - 4 = 36 - 4 = 32

∴ EF = 32

∵ GF = 13

- Substitute the values of EF and GF in the equation of EF

∴ 32 = EG + 13

- Subtract 13 from both sides

∴ 19 = EG

* EG = 19

mariarad [96]

Answer:

  c.  35.34015106

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many problems of this nature, you only need to get close to be able to choose the correct answer. 22 minutes 45 seconds is just slightly less than 1/2 degree (30 minutes), so the tangent value will be just slightly less than tan(88.5°) ≈ 38. The appropriate choice is 35.34015106.

If you need confirmation, you can find tan(88°) ≈ 29, so you know the answer will be between 29 and 38.

__

The above has to do with strategies for choosing answers on multiple-choice problems. Below, we will work the problem.

The angle is (in degrees) ...

  88 + 22/60 +45/3600 = 88 + (22·60 +45)/3600 = 88 +1365/3600

  ≈ 88.3791666... (repeating) . . . . degrees

A calculator tells you the tangent of that is ...

  tan(88.3791666...°) ≈ 35.3401510614

Many calculators will round that to 10 digits, as in the answer above. Others can give a value correct to 32 digits. Spreadsheet values will often be correct to 15 or 16 digits.

AleksAgata [21]
We will use u-substitute:u= \sqrt{2x} , \frac{du}{dx}= \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2x} }= \frac{1}{u}Then for substitution:dx=u du. and integral becomes:\int { \frac{u}{u+1} } \, du = \int { \frac{u+1-1}{u+1} } \, du= \int{1} \, du- \int { \frac{1}{u-1} } \, dx=u-ln(u+1)=\sqrt{2x}-ln( \sqrt{2x}+1). Now we will change the values of limits: \sqrt{16}-ln( \sqrt{16}+1)-( \sqrt{4}-ln( \sqrt{4}+1))=4-ln(5)-2+ln(3)=2+ln(0,6)=2-0.51=1.49

A car with 15 gallons of gasoline drives 420 miles until the tank is empty. Write a linear equation that describes the amount of
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

g = 15 - m/28

Step-by-step explanation:

let g = gasoline

let m = miles

  • g = 15 - m/28

since you can drive 420 miles with 15 gallons of gas, you can drive 28 miles with one gallon (= 420/15 = 28)

e.g.

you drive 100 miles, then you will have:

g = 15 - 100/28 = 15 - 3.57 = 11.43 gallons of gas left

you drive 240 miles:

g = 15 - 240/28 = 6.43 gallons
