Given the diagram shown with AB|| XZ
AY = 7
AX = 6
AB= 14
find XZ.
Step-by-step explanation:
due to AB being parallel to XZ, we know that ABY and XZY are similar triangles.
therefore, they have the same angles, and there is one common scale factor for all side lengths from one triangle to the other.
so,
AY / XY = AB / XZ
XY = AY + AX = 7 + 6 = 13
7/13 = 14/XZ
XZ×7/13 = 14
XZ×7 = 14×13
XZ = 14×13/7 = 2×13 = 26
True or false if a set of points all lie on the same plane they are called collinear
We have that a group of points can be:
Coplanar: if they lie in the same plane
Collinear: if they lie in the same line
Answer- False: they are called coplanarNinety percent of a large field is cleared for planting. Of the cleared land, 50 percent is planted with blueberry plants and 40 percent is planted with strawberry plants. If the remaining 360 acres of cleared land is planted with gooseberry plants, what is the size, in acres, of the original field?*
For the given question, let the size of the original field = x
Ninety percent of a large field is cleared for planting
So, the size of the cleared land = 90% of x = 0.9x
50 percent is planted with blueberry plants and 40 percent is planted with strawberry plants.
So, the size of the land planted with blueberry plants and strawberry plants =
[tex]0.5\cdot0.9x+0.4\cdot0.9x=0.45x+0.36x=0.81x[/tex]The remaining will be = 0.9x - 0.81x = 0.09x
Given: the remaining 360 acres of cleared land is planted with gooseberry plants
so,
[tex]0.09x=360[/tex]divide both sides by (0.09) to find x:
[tex]x=\frac{360}{0.09}=4,000[/tex]So, the answer will be:

The rational number is -91/100 or -0.91.
What is Rational number?Any number of the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0, is a rational number. The letter q stands for the set of rational numbers.
The word "ratio" is where the word "rational" first appeared. Rational numbers are therefore closely tied to the idea of fractions, which stand for ratios. In other terms, a number is a rational number if it can be written as a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are both integers.

H = -16t^2 + 36t + 56 Where H is the height of the ball after t seconds have passed.
we have the equation
H = -16t^2 + 36t + 56
This equation represents a vertical parabola open downward, which means, the vertex is a maximum
The time t when the ball reaches its maximum value corresponds to the x-coordinate of the vertex
so
Convert the given equation into vertex form
H=a(t-h)^2+k
where
(h,k) is the vertex
step 1
Complete the square
H = -16t^2 + 36t + 56
Factor -16
H=-16(t^2-36/16t)+56
H=-16(t^2-36/16t+81/64)+56+81/4
Rewrite as perfect squares
H=-16(t-9/8)^2+76.25
the vertex is (9/8,76.25)

The total movie attendance in a country was 1.16 billion people in 1990 and 1.40 billion in 2008. Assume that the pattern in movie attendance is linear function of time. (Need to answer questions a-d for this question - pic attached)
a)
In order to find a function M(t), first let's identify two ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation.
From the given information, we have the ordered pairs (1990, 1.16) and (2008, 1.4).
Using these ordered pairs, let's find the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b)
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{1.4-1.16}{2008-1990}=\frac{0.24}{18}=0.01333 \\ \\ y=mx+b \\ 1.16=1990\cdot0.01333+b \\ b=-25.3667 \\ \\ y=0.01333x-25.3667 \end{gathered}[/tex]So the equation is M = 0.01333t - 25.3667
The independent variable represents the year (correct option: first one)
b)
The slope represents the change in M over the change in t, that is, it represents the change in attendance over a year (correct option: first one)
c)
For t = 2015, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=0.01333\cdot2015-25.3667 \\ M=26.86-25.37 \\ M=1.49 \end{gathered}[/tex]d)
For M = 1.5, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1.5=0.01333\cdot t-25.3667 \\ 0.01333t=26.8667 \\ t=2015.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]The height of a tree is x feet. If it grows ½ times the original height, choose the correct expression that denotes the situation.

1.5(x)
EXPLANATION
The tree is originally x feet tall. If it grows 1/2 this height it means that now it is 1/2x taller, or we can express this as a decimal, 0.5x. If we add these two heights we'll have the new height of the tree:

1)
We can find the circumference using the formula
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]but remember that the diameter is 2 times the radius
[tex]d=2r[/tex]So we can use the formula using radius or diameter, the problem gives us the diameter, so let's use it, so the formula will change a little bit
[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]Where "d" is the diameter.
d = 40 yd, and π = 3.14, so the circumference will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\pi d \\ C=3.14\cdot40=125.6\text{ yd} \end{gathered}[/tex]And to find out the area we can use this formula
[tex]A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}[/tex]Or if you prefer use the radius
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]Let's use the formula with the diameter again
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4} \\ \\ A=\frac{3.14\cdot(40)^2}{4} \\ \\ A=1256\text{ yd}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the circumference is 125.6 yd and the area is 1256 yd^2
2)
Here we have a compounded figure, we have half of a circle and a triangle, so let's think about how we get the perimeter and the area.
The perimeter will be the sum of the sides of the triangle and half of a circumference, we already know the length of the triangle's side, it's 10.82, we got to find the half of a circle circumference and then sum with the sides.
We know that
[tex]C=\pi d[/tex]And we can see in the figure that d = 12 mm, then
[tex]C=\pi d=3.14\cdot12=37.68\text{ mm}[/tex]But that's a full circumference, we just want half of it, so let's divide it by 2.
[tex]\frac{C}{2}=\frac{37.68}{2}=18.84\text{ mm}[/tex]Now we have half of a circumference we can approximate the perimeter of the figure, it will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=10.82+10.82+18.84 \\ \\ P=40.48\text{ mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The area will be the area of the triangle sum the area of half of a circle
Then let's find the triangle's area first
[tex]A_{}=\frac{b\cdot h}{2}[/tex]The base "b" will be the diameter of the circle, and the height "h" will be 9 mm, then
[tex]A_{}=\frac{12\cdot9}{2}=54\text{ mm}^2[/tex]And the half of a circle's area will be
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{3.14\cdot(12)^2}{8}=$$56.52$$\text{ mm}^2[/tex]Then the total area will be
[tex]A_T=56.52+54=110.52\text{ mm}^2[/tex]Therefore, the perimeter and the area is

Let's calculate the 20% of $70.
[tex]70\times20\%=14[/tex]So, the discounted price of the jeans before tax is $70 - $14 = $56.
Generally, sales tax is applied to the discounted price, so let's calculate the 6% of $56.
[tex]6\%\times56=3.36[/tex]The sales tax is $3.36.

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about inequalities and its graphs.
First, we have to determine the equation of the line. For this, we have to find, by inspection, two points contained in that line:
We can easily find the points (0, -6) and (2, -2).
With this, we can find the equation of the line using the point-slope formula:
[tex]y-y_0=m\cdot(x-x_0)[/tex]Where (x0, y0) is a point of the line, as well as (x1, y1) and the slope m is given by:
[tex]m=\frac{y_1-y_0}{x_1-x_0}[/tex]Plugging the coordinates of the points, we get:
[tex]m=\frac{-2-(-6)}{2-0}=\frac{-2+6}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]Such that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-6)=2\cdot(x-0) \\ y+6=2x \end{gathered}[/tex]Rearranging it in the ax + by = c form,
[tex]2x-y=6[/tex]Multiply both sides of the equation by a factor of 2
[tex]4x-2y=12[/tex]Finally, notice that the values of y in the shaded region are greater than the values in the line, which means that the inequality we're looking for is:
[tex]4x-2y>12[/tex]All the point (x, y) satisfying this inequality are contained in the shaded region.

g(x)=3f(x)
g(x)=f(3x) ,
g(x)=1/3f(x)
Answer:
B) g(x) = 3f(x)Step-by-step explanation:
What is a vertical stretch?Given a function f(x), a new function g(x) = cf(x), where c is a constant, is a vertical stretch of f(x) when c > 1.
In our case the function f(x) is stretched by a factor of 3.
It means c = 3 and therefore:
g(x) = 3f(x)Correct choice is B
