X, Y, and Z are collinear and Y is between X and Z. If XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

what is the value of x?

a. 6
b. 4
c. 10
d. 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

We know that XY + YZ = XZ, so

3x - 1 + 5 = 5x - 8

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

3x + 12 = 5x

12 = 2x

6 = x

Answer 2

The value of x from the given line segment XZ is 6. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Given that, X, Y, and Z are collinear and Y is between X and Z.

Collinear points are those that are on the same straight line or in the same plane. In Euclidean geometry, two or more points on a line that are close to or far from each other are said to be collinear.

So, here [tex]XZ=XY+YZ[/tex]

[tex]5x-8=3x-1+5[/tex]

[tex]5x-8=3x+4[/tex]

[tex]5x-3x=4+8[/tex]

[tex]2x=12[/tex]

[tex]x=6[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the bottom line all together is 19 inches, and the line for the top of the square box at the end is also 7in. We can then infer that the top line of 7 cm is the same as the bottom line, so we therefore do 19 - 7 which equals to 12. Hope this helps.

how many solutions does x squared= 4x -5 have

Answers

Answer: There are no solutions

Answer:

Two

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 4x - 5 is equivalent to x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0 in standard quadratic form.

All quadratics have exactly two roots/solutions.

In this case the coefficients of the polynomial are 1, -4 and 5, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or (-4)^2 - 4(1)(5), or 16 - 20 = -4.

Since the discriminant is negative, we conclude that this polynomial has two complex roots/solutions.

does anyone know how to do this?

Answers

Answer:

x = 1y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of x and y do not have any "nice" relations, so doing this by elimination is just "brute force" with no particular subtlety.

After multiplying by appropriate numbers, you want the coefficient of one of the variables in one equation to be the opposite of the coefficient of the same variable in the other equation. Here, we can get that by multiplying the first equation by 7 and the second equation by 2.

  7(2x +3y = -19)   ⇒   14x +21y = -133

  2(-7x +2y = -21)   ⇒   -14x +4y = -42

Adding these equations with opposite x-coefficients eliminates the x-terms. (That is how the "elimination" method gets its name.)

  (14x +21y) +(-14x +4y) = (-133) +(-42)

  25y = -175 . . . . . . . . simplify

  y = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 25

Substituting this value into the first equation gives ...

  2x +3(-7) = -19

  2x = 2 . . . . . . . . . add 21

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution is x = 1, y = -7.

_____

Additional comment

The multipliers used in this process are essentially the coefficients of one of the variables, with one of them negated. Here, we chose the x-coefficients, because negating one of them gives two positive multipliers. We judge it easier to do the arithmetic using positive numbers.

Had we chosen to use the y-coefficients (3 and 2) for our multipliers, we would probably multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by -3. That way, the remaining x-coefficient would be positive.

Planning ahead is helpful, but not essential. It can help to avoid errors and make the work easier to do.

Using permutations and the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.0417 = 4.17% probability that Nia is chosen as president.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.As there are different roles, the order in which the students are chosen is important, hence, the permutation formula is used to solve this question.

Permutation formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by:

[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]

Desired outcomes:

Nia's president.For the other roles, 3 students from a set of 23, hence:

[tex]D = P_{23,3} = \frac{23!}{20!} = 10626[/tex]

Total outcomes:

4 students from a set of 24, hence:

[tex]T = P_{24,4} = \frac{24!}{20!} = 255024[/tex]

Then:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10626}{255024} = 0.0417[/tex]

0.0417 = 4.17% probability that Nia is chosen as president.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,5) and is perpendicular to the graph of y=2x-3

Answers

Hello there! :)

We are given that the line passes through the point (4,5) and that it's perpendicular to the line y=2x-3.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

This means we take a number, make it negative, and flop it over:

2

-2

-1/2

So the slope of the line perpendicular to y=2x-3 is -1/2.

Now, we have the slope and a point that the line passes through, so we can write the equation in point-slope form, which looks like so:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Where

y1 is the y-coordinate of the point

m is the slope

x1 is the x-coordinate of the point

Now, let's plug our values into the equation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-5=-1/2(x-4)

y-5=-1/2x+2

y=-1/2x+2+5

y=-1/2x+7

Hence, that is the equation of the line.

Hope it helps.

En un barrio de 3.120 habitantes, se realizó una encuesta a 620 sobre la preferencia
por comer huevo al desayuno todos los días, contestando que, si le gusta 18 personas,
probablemente en el barrio, ¿cuántas personas prefieren lo mismo?

Answers

Es probable que el número de personas a las que si les gusta comer huevo al desayuno todos los días sea 90 personas.

Según principios estadísticos, es posible determinar una tendencia general utilizando una muestra de la población. En otras palabras, es posible tener una idea aproximada de las preferencias de una población si se logran determinar las preferencias de un pequeño grupo de dicha población.

En este caso sabemos que la población total equivale a 3120 habitantes, la muestra equivale a 620 personas y en la muestra 18 personas comen huevo al desayuno todos los días.

Usando una regla de tres podemos determinar la tendencia general:

Si a 18 personas de 620 les gusta comer huevo todos los días al desayuno, a cuántas personas de 3120 les gusta lo mismo.

18 = 620x = 3120

x = 18 x 3120 / 620x = 56160 / 620x=  90

Es decir que aproximadamente 90 personas tienen esta misma preferencia.

What is an equation of the line?

An equation of the line is defined as a linear equation having a degree of one. The equation of the line contains two variables x and y. And the third parameter is the slope of the line which represents the elevation of the line.

The general form of the equation of the line:-

y = mx + c

m = slope

c = y-intercept

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

For line one the points are:-

( 1,3 ) and ( 0,0)

Slope = ( 0 - 3) / ( 0 - 1 )

Slope = 3

The equation will be,

y = 3x

For line two the points are:-

(-1,3) and (0,-2),

Slope = ( -2 - 3 ) / ( 0 + 1)

Slope = -5

The y-intercept will be,

y = mx +c

c = -2

The equation can be written as:-

y = -5x - 2
