Line segment TV is a midsegment of ∆QRS. What is the value of n in the triangle pictured? A: 6.5

B: 7.6

C: 15.2

D: 3.2

D. 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid-segment Theorem of a triangle states that the Mid-segment in a triangle is half of the third side of the triangle.

Based on this theorem, we have: TV = ½(RS)

TV = 3n - 2

RS = n + 12

Substitute

3n - 2 = ½(n + 12)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(3n - 2) = (n + 12)

6n - 4 = n + 12

Collect like terms

6n - n = 4 + 12

5n = 16

Divide both sides by 5

5n/5 = 16/5

n = 3.2

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
