Lourdes is making a frame in the shape of a parallelogram. She adds diagonal braces to strengthen the frame. Parallelogram A B C

D is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point A to point C and from point D to point B and intersect at point E. The length of D E is (3 y + 6) centimeters, the length of E B is (5 y minus 10) centimeters, and the length of E C is (2 y + 4) centimeters. How long is the brace that connects points B and D? 8 cm 16 cm 30 cm 60 cm

Answer:

60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram ABCD is shown in attached diagram. The diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other, so

AE = EC

BE = ED

Ib DE = 3y + 6 cm, BE = 5y - 10 cm, then

$3y+6=5y-10\\ \\3y-5y=-10-6\\ \\-2y=-16\\ \\2y=16\\ \\y=8\ cm$

Now, EC = 2y + 4, so

$EC=2\cdot 8+4=16+4=20\ cm$

Since AE = EC, then AE = 20 cm

The brace that connects points B and D has the length

$BD=BE+ED=3y+6+5y-10=8y-4=8\cdot 8-4=64-4=60\ cm$

The brace that connects points A and C has the length

$AC=AE+EC=20+20=40\ cm$

Answer:

$y=\frac{-7t^2+22t-7}{7t-22}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Initial value problem

$y'=(t+y)^2-1$ , y(3)=4

Substitute the value $z=t+y$

When t=3 and y=4 then

z=3+4=7

$y'=z^2-1$

Differentiate z w.r.t t

Then, we get

$\frac{dz}{dt}=1+y'$

$z'=1+z^2-1=z^2$

$z^{-2}dz=dt$

Integrate on both sides

$-\frac{1}{z}dz=t+C$

$z=-\frac{1}{t+C}$

Substitute t=3 and z=7

Then, we get

$7=-\frac{1}{3+C}$

$21+7C=-1$

$7C=-1-21=-22$

$C=-\frac{22}{7}$

Substitute the value of C then we get

$z=-\frac{1}{t-\frac{22}{7}}$

$z=\frac{-7}{7t-22}$

$y=z-t$

$y=\frac{-7}{7t-22}-t$

$y=\frac{-7-7t^2+22t}{7t-22}$

$y=\frac{-7t^2+22t-7}{7t-22}$

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

Suppose a company borrows 15,000 on 1/1/14 at 10% interest rate for a one year term. The company makes interest payments every q

goblinko [34]

Answer: 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The principal = 15000

Rate = 10%

Years = 1 year = 12 month

Interest I = PRT/100

I = (15000 × 10 × 1)/100

I = 1500

The amount of interest expense that would they record in May will be

Interest = I/ 12 = 1500/12 = 125

Which of the following notations correctly describe the end behavior of the polynomial graphed below?

algol13

The right answer is C

Let me to explain. From the graph we know that the vertex of this parabola is $V(0,8)$ . This is a<em> maximum y-value.</em> We also know that the parabola <em>opens downward, </em>so the leading coefficient is negative. Given that the function is even and the leading coefficient is negative, it follows that the graph falls to the left and right. In a mathematical language this is:

$x \rightarrow -\infty, f(x) \rightarrow -\infty \\ \\ x \rightarrow \infty, f(x) \rightarrow -\infty$ <em> </em>
