Answer:
x = 2
DG = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The thing to know about the incenter of a triangle, is that the segments to each side are equidistant. In other words, they are identical lengths.
This means that ED = FD = GD.
Which means:
DE = DF
x^2 = 20 - 8x
So we need to solve for X. I would solve this using factoring:
Subtract 20 from both sides.
x^2−20=−8x
Add 8x to both sides.
x^2−20+8x=0
Rearrange the polynomial to put it in standard form. Place the terms in order from highest to lowest power.
x^2+8x−20=0
Factor the left hand side by grouping. First, the left hand side needs to be rewritten as x^2+ax+bx−20. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=8 ab=1(−20)=−20
Since ab is negative, a and b have the opposite signs. Since a+b is positive, the positive number has greater absolute value than the negative. List all such integer pairs that give product −20.
(−1,20) (−2,10) (−4,5)
Calculate the sum for each pair.
−1+20=19
−2+10=8
−4+5=1
The solution is the pair that gives sum 8.
a=−2 b=10
Rewrite x^2+8x−20 as (x^2−2x)+(10x−20).
(x^2−2x)+(10x−20)
Factor out x in the first and 10 in the second group.
x(x−2)+10(x−2)
Factor out common term x−2 by using distributive property.
(x−2)(x+10)
To find equation solutions, solve x−2=0 and x+10=0.
x = 2
x = −10
In this case, X is equal to 2 as the solution -10 doesn't make much sense given the context of the problem.
To find DG we just need to plug the solution back into one of the equations and solve:
20 - 8x
20 - 8(2)
20 - 16 = 4
DG = 4
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 degrees. The tree stands 20 ft off the hill. How high is the top of the tree from the base of the hill?
Answer:
Approximately [tex]101\; \rm ft[/tex] (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the diagram attached.
Let [tex]\rm O[/tex] denote the observer.Let [tex]\rm A[/tex] denote the top of the tree.Let [tex]\rm R[/tex] denote the base of the tree.Let [tex]\rm B[/tex] denote the point where line [tex]\rm AR[/tex] (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through [tex]\rm O[/tex] meets. [tex]\angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ[/tex].Angles:
Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: [tex]\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ[/tex].Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: [tex]\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ[/tex].
Let the length of segment [tex]\rm BR[/tex] (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be [tex]x\; \rm ft[/tex].
The question is asking for the length of segment [tex]\rm AB[/tex]. Notice that the length of this segment is [tex]\mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft[/tex].
The length of segment [tex]\rm OB[/tex] could be represented in two ways:
In right triangle [tex]\rm \triangle OBR[/tex] as the side adjacent to [tex]\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ[/tex].In right triangle [tex]\rm \triangle OBA[/tex] as the side adjacent to [tex]\angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ[/tex].For example, in right triangle [tex]\rm \triangle OBR[/tex], the length of the side opposite to [tex]\angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ[/tex] is segment [tex]\rm BR[/tex]. The length of that segment is [tex]x\; \rm ft[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}[/tex].
Rearrange to find an expression for the length of [tex]\rm OB[/tex] (in [tex]\rm ft[/tex]) in terms of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}[/tex].
Similarly, in right triangle [tex]\rm \triangle OBA[/tex]:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}[/tex].
Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:
[tex]0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20)[/tex].
Solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]x \approx 81\; \rm ft[/tex].
Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be [tex](x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft[/tex].

Antonio completed the right column of the table to help him find the sum of 2/9 and 1/5. In which step did his first error occur?
Answer:
Step 1
Step-by-step explanation:
His first error occurred in step 1.
The common denominator of [tex] \frac{2}{9} [/tex] and [tex] \frac{1}{5} [/tex] is 45, and not 14.
Common denominator of both fractions, is a number of which both 9 and 5 are its factor. That is, it is a common multiple of 9 and 5.
45 can be divided by 9 without remainder. Also 45 can be divide by 5 without a remainder.
45 would make both fractions common not 14.

78
-40
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 74}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the following formula.
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]
Where n is the term, a₁ is the first term, and d is the common difference.
We want to find the 21st term, we know the first term is -6, and the common difference is 4.
[tex]n= 21\\a_1= -6 \\d=4[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]a_{21}=-6+(21-1)4[/tex]
Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
Solve inside the parentheses.
[tex]a_{21}=-6+(20)4[/tex]
Multiply 20 and 4.
[tex]a_{21}= -6+80 \\[/tex]
Add -6 and 80.
[tex]a_{21}=74[/tex]
The 21st term of the sequence is 74
Answer:

Answer:
translation
W(-10, 0)
X(-10, -8)
Y(-18, -4)
Z(-14, 8)
dilation
W(-8, 16)
X(-8, 0)
Y(-24, 8)
Z(-16, 32)
Step-by-step explanation:
In translation, all you are doing is taking each point and subtracting 6 from the x, and subtracting 8 from the y. The point of W is (-4, 8). Thus you do (-4 - 6 , 8-8) and you get the new point (-10,0). Repeat this for all the others.
In dilation you are multiply both x and y by 2. For point W you do (-4*2, 8*2) to get the new point (-8, 16). You repeat this for the remaining points.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
A 500 yard train travels at a constant speed. A motorcyclist rides at a constant speed on the highway parallel to the train tracks. The motorcyclist starts at the rear of the train and drives to the very front of the train, and then falls back to the rear of the train. As the motorcycle completes this cycle, the train travels 1200 yards. How far did the motorcyclist travel?
Answer:
120/2 = x/5....120 miles to 2 hrs = x miles to 5 hrs
cross multiply
(2)(x) = (120)(5)
2x = 600
x = 600/2
x = 300....the motorcyclist would travel 300 miles in 5 hrs
or u could do it this way..
120/2 = 60 miles per hr
60 * 5 = 300 miles

Answer:
SSS
Step-by-step explanation:
The SSS theorem is the side-side-side theorem. Basically, since all three sides from one triangle is congruent to the corresponding sides of the other triangle, then the triangles have to be congruent. There are other theorems such as the SAS theorem (side-angle-side), but since the question only give us the fact that the sides are congruent, its SSS. Sorry, I hope this is good enough. XD

Step-by-step explanation:
El tripe de a edad de pedro mas 2 es igual a la edad actual de pedro mas 6. ¿Cuál es la edad actual de pedro?
Answer: Pedro tiene 2 años.
Step-by-step explanation:
Definamos la variable P como la edad de Pedro.
Sabemos que " El triple de la edad de pedro, más 2, es igual a la edad actual de pedro más 6"
Esto se escribe como:
3*P + 2 = P + 6.
Para encontrar la edad de Pedro, tenemos que resolver esa ecuación.
Para hacerlo, el primer paso es llevar todos los términos con "P" al lado izquierdo, y los términos sin "P" al lado derecho.
3*P - P = 6 - 2
2*P = 4
Ahora podemos dividir por 2 en ambos lados:
2*P/2 = 4/2
P = 2
Entonces podemos concluir que Pedro tiene 2 años.

4.5÷6=
estimate the quotient
Answer:
0.75 - 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
4.5/6 = 0.75
The closest number to round 0.75 to is 0.8
We are given the expression:
4.5 / 6
Simplifying the given expression:
We can rewrite 4.5 as 4/10:
[tex]\frac{45}{10}*\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
Since 45 and 6 have a common factor: 3
[tex]\frac{3*15}{10}*\frac{1}{3*2}[/tex]
The 3 in the numerator and the denominator will cancel out:
[tex]\frac{15}{10}* \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
We know that 15/2 is 7.5
[tex]\frac{7.5}{10}[/tex]
0.75
Hence, the quotient of the expression: 4.5/6 is 0.75

TR = 8x = 8·3
TR = 24
AJKL and ALMN are shown.
Answer:
mLNM=63
Step-by-step explanation:
triangle JKL is isocelese so mKJL and KLJ are the same
180-72=108
108/2=54
so both mKLJ and mMLN are equal
and since triangle LMN is an isoceles then mLNM and mLMN are equal to each other
so 180-54=126
126/2=63
mLNM=63
What is the sum of the first five terms of the geometric series 3 − 6 + 12 − . . . ?
Answer:
33Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as;
Sn = a(r^n - 1)/r - 1
a is the first term of the sequence
r is the common ratio
n is the number of terms
From the sequence;
a = 3
r = -6/3 = 12/-6 = -2
n = 5 (since are looking for the sum of first five terms)
Substitute into the formula;
S5 = 3((-2)^5 - 1)/-2 - 1
S5 = 3(-32-1)/-3
S5 = 3(-33)/-3
S5 = -(-33)
S5 = 33
Hence the sum of the first five terms of the sequence is 33

Calculate the mean (to the nearest whole number) and the standard deviation (to decimals) of the golfer's scores, for both years. Mean 77 Standard deviation 2.07 Mean 77 Standard deviation 5.26 b. What is the primary difference in performance between and
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scores turned in by an amateur golfer at the Bonita Fairways Golf Course in Bonita Springs, Florida are,
Season 1: {75, 79, 80, 78, 76, 74, 76, 78}
Season 2: {72, 71, 76, 78, 86, 81, 72, 80}
(a)
Compute the mean and standard deviation of the golfer's scores as follows:
Season 1:
[tex]\bar x_{1}=\frac{1}{n_{1}}\sum x_{1}\\\\=\frac{1}{8}\times 616\\\\=77[/tex]
[tex]s_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum(x_{1}-\bar x_{1})^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8-1}\times 30}\\\\=2.0702\\\\\approx 2.07[/tex]
Season 2:
[tex]\bar x_{2}=\frac{1}{n_{2}}\sum x_{2}\\\\=\frac{1}{8}\times 616\\\\=77[/tex]
[tex]s_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{2}-1}\sum(x_{2}-\bar x_{2})^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8-1}\times 194}\\\\=5.26444\\\\\approx 5.26[/tex]
(b)
The primary difference in performance between the two seasons is:
[tex]\text{Diff} = \bar x_{2}-\bar x_{1}\\\\=5.26-2.07\\\\=3.19[/tex]
A shareholders' group, in lodging a protest, claimed that the mean tenure for a chief executive office (CEO) was at least seven years.

Formulate hypotheses that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the shareholders' group. - Select your answer - - Select your answer - b. Assume companies were included in the sample. What is the -value for your hypothesis test
Complete question is;
A shareholders’ group, in lodging a protest, claimed that the mean tenure for a chief executive office (CEO) was at least seven years. A survey of companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of x¯ = 7.27 years for CEOs with a standard deviation of s = 6.38 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007).
a. Formulate hypotheses that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by
the shareholders’ group.
b. Assume 85 companies were included in the sample. What is the p-value for your hypothesis
test?
Answer:
A) Null hypothesis: H0: μ ≥ 7
Alternative hypothesis: μ < 7
B) p-value = 0.3488
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are told that the shareholders group claimed that the mean tenure for a chief executive office (CEO) was at least seven years.
Thus, defining the hypothesis, we have;
Null hypothesis: H0: μ ≥ 7
Alternative hypothesis: μ < 7
B) Sample mean: x¯ = 7.27 years standard deviation: s = 6.38 years
Sample size = 85
Formula for the test static is;
t = (x¯ - μ)/(s/√n)
t = (7.27 - 7)/(6.38/√85)
t = 0.39
From online p-value from t score calculator attached using: t = 0.39, DF= 85 - 1 = 84, significance value = 0.05, one tail, we have;
p-value = 0.3488
