Mathematics
1 answer:

The expression that models the length of the second leg of the triangle is <u>2x - 3.</u>

<u><em>Recall</em></u>:

The area of a triangle = \frac{1}{2} bh

<em><u>Given</u></em>:

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} (6x^2 - 7x - 3)

Length of one of the legs = 3x + 1

Therefore, it means that multiplying both legs should give us:

6x^2 - 7x - 3

To find the expression that models the other leg, divide 6x^2 - 7x - 3 by 3x + 1:

  • <em>Thus</em>:

\frac{6x^2 - 7x - 3}{3x - 1}

  • Factorize the numerator

\frac{6x^2 - 2x - 9x - 3}{3x - 1}\\\\\frac{2x(3x - 1) - 3(3x - 1)}{3x - 1}\\\\\frac{(2x- 3)(3x - 1)}{3x - 1}

  • Simplify

\frac{(2x- 3)(3x - 1)}{3x - 1} = 2x- 3

Therefore, the expression that models the length of the second leg of the triangle is <u>2x - 3.</u>

In a class of students, the following data table summarizes how many students have a cat or a dog. What is the probability that
solniwko [45]

The probability that a student who does not have a dog has a cat is 7/10.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability determines the chances that a random event would happen. The odds that the random event would happen lies between 0 and 1.

The probability that a student who does not have a dog has a cat = number of students that do not have a dog but has a cat / total number of students that do not own a dog

=  7/10.

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (4,6) and (−8,3)
kari74 [83]

Answer:

y= 1/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

to calculate gradient: change in y/change in x

-3/-12 = 0.25

y = 1/4x+c

4 * 1/4 = 1

6-1 = 5

c= 5

Totally:
y= 1/4x+5
