Answer:

$20 = EB$

$10 = DB$

$10 = ED$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, according to this cross-section model, point $D$ is the segment bisector of all segments, according to which segments they are in congruence with. Anyway, here is how it is done:

3x - 8 = x + 4

-3x - 3x

_____________

−8 = −2x + 4

-4 - 4

_____________

−12 = −2x

____ ____

−2 −2

$6 = x$ [Plug this back into all expressions above to get the measurements of $20 = EB$ , $10 = DB$ , $10 = ED$ ]

* Since point $D$ the segment bisector, you set the given equations equal to each other, then in the end, plug the x-value back into all expressions to get the length of $EB$ .

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Answer:

Part 1) $ED=10\ units$

Part 2) $DB=10\ units$

Part 3) $EB=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

EB=ED+DB

ED=DB -----> given problem

Substitute the given values and solve for x

$x+4=3x-8$

$3x-x=4+8$

$2x=12$

$x=6$

Find the value of ED

$ED=x+4$

substitute the value of x

$ED=6+4=10\ units$

Find the value of DB

Remember that

ED=DB

therefore

$DB=10\ units$

Find the value of EB

EB=ED+DB

$EB=10+10=20\ units$

Paulina is remodeling her bathroom. the tile she has chosen are squares and trapezoids. the side length of each square inthe til

NemiM [27]

Check the picture below.

is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.

but let's do the trapezoid area then,

$\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=At\\
a=x\\
h=x\\
b=2x
\end{cases}\implies At=\cfrac{x(x+2x)}{2}
\\\\\\
At=\cfrac{x(3x)}{2}\implies At=\cfrac{3x^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{now, solving for \underline{x}}
\\\\\\
2At=3x^2\implies \cfrac{2At}{3}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{2At}{3}}=x\implies \left( \frac{2At}{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=x$

A portfolio has average return of 13.2 percent and standard deviation of returns of 18.9 percent. Assuming that the portfolioi's

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

B. 0.835

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the z-scores and the standard normal distribution to calculate this probability.

We have a normal distribution for the portfolio return, with mean 13.2 and standard deviation 18.9.

We have to calculate the probability that the portfolio's return in any given year is between -43.5 and 32.1.

Then, the z-scores for X=-43.5 and 32.1 are:

$z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{(-43.5)-13.2}{18.9}=\dfrac{-56.7}{18.9}=-3\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{32.1-13.2}{18.9}=\dfrac{18.9}{18.9}=1\\\\\\$

Then, the probability that the portfolio's return in any given year is between -43.5 and 32.1 is:

$P(-43.5$

Which shows a recursive and an explicit formula for a sequence whose initial term is 14 and whose common difference is −4? A. A(

liberstina [14]

Answer: A. A(1) = 14; A(n) = (n − 1) −4; A(n) = 14 + (n − 1)(−4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence that is identified by their common difference. Let a be the first term, n be the number of terms and d be the common difference.

For an arithmetic sequence, common difference 'd' is added to the preceding term to get its succeeding term. For example if a is the first term of a sequence, second term will be a+d, third term will give a+d+d and so on to generate sequence of the form,

a, a+d, a+3d, a+4d...

Notice that each new term keep increasing by a common difference 'd'

The nth term of the sequence Tn will therefore give Tn = a+(n-1)d

If the initial (first) term is 14 and common difference is -4, the nth of the sequence will be gotten by substituting a = 14 and d = -4 in the general formula to give;

Tn = 14+(n-1)-4 (which gives the required answer)

Tn = 14-4n+4

Tn = 18-4n

Consider the demand curve Qd = 150 - 2P and the supply curve Qs = 50 + 3P. What is total expenditure at equilibrium? Make sure t

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At equilibrium quantity demanded Qd equals quantity supply Qs

Qd = Qs (At equilibrium)

⇒ 150 - 2P = 50 + 3P

solving for P in the equation,

3P + 2P = 150 - 50

5P = 100

$P = \frac{100}{5}$

P = 20
