Answer:

shortest: 11 inches
longest: 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two side lengths for a triangle, the triangle inequality tells you the third side must have a length between the difference and the sum of the given sides.

<h3>A. minimum length</h3>

The difference of the given sides 25 and 15 is ...

25 -15 = 10

The smallest integer greater than 10 is 11.

The third side must be at least 11 inches long.

<h3>B. maximum length</h3>

The sum of the given sides is ...

25 +15 = 40

The largest integer smaller than 40 is 39.

The third side must be at most 39 inches long.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Formally, the triangle inequality tells you that sides a, b, c must satisfy ...

a +b > c and b +c > a and c +a > b

When we're considering the length of third side (c), there are 3 cases to consider. 1) c is shortest; 2) c is between the other lengths; 3) c is longest. Without loss of generality, we can assume a > b.

1) c is shortest:

a+b>c is always true.
b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the positive difference)
c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference)

conclusion: c > a-b

2) a > c > b:

a+b>c is always true.
b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the positive difference)
c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference)

conclusion: c > a-b

3) c is longest:

a+b>c (the sum)
b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the difference will be less than the sum)
c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference will be less than the sum)

conclusion: a -b < c < a+b . . . . . . for a>b

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–5, –1) and (10, –7) is . What is the standard form of the

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Point-Slope form: $y+1=-\frac{6}{15}(x+5)\\$

standard form: $2x+5y=-15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form is given by: $Ax+By=C$

The point-slope form is given by: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

<em>Let's call $(-5,-1)$ as point $(x_1,y_1)$ , and</em>

<em>point $(10,-7)$ as point $(x_2,y_2)$ </em>

<em>We also know that the slope $m$ is given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ </em>

Let's find the slope:

$m=\frac{-7-(-1)}{10-(-5)}=-\frac{6}{15}$

1. So, point slope form can be written as:

$y-(-1)=-\frac{6}{15}(x-(-5))\\y+1=-\frac{6}{15}(x+5)\\$

2. Rearranging this equation and bringing all x's and y's to one side and the number to another side will give us the standard form. So:

$y+1=-\frac{6}{15}x-2\\y+\frac{6}{15}x=-2-1\\y+\frac{6}{15}x=-3$

<em>But A, B, and C (standard form) needs to be integers, so to get rid of the denominator , we multiply the whole equation by 15. So we have:</em>

$y+\frac{6}{15}x=-3\\15y+6x=-45$

<em>We can factor out a 3, so it becomes:</em>

$15y+6x=-45\\5y+2x=-15$

So standard form is $2x+5y=-15$

If the population of a town grew 21% up to 15,049, what was the population last year?

katrin2010 [14]

15,049 x .21 = 3,160
subtract: 15,049 - 3,160 = 11, 888

The city mayor wants to use the reserved section of a rectangular park for gardening lessons conducted by the city public school

Stels [109]

You can have a lot of ways to solve this problem, but I'm going for solving for the lawn's area directly instead of solving the reserved section and subtracting it from the total area of the whole place.

First, cut the lawn so that it becomes two shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle. Solve for both areas.

A(r) = lw
A(r) = (14)(16)
A(r) = 224 square feet

A(t) = bh/2
A(t) = (8)(14) / 2
A(t) = 112 / 2
A(t) = 56 square feet

Add the two areas:

A(r) + A(t) = Area of lawn
224 square feet + 56 square feet = 280 square feet.

The area of the lawn, therefores, is 280 ft^2.

The director of the town's sports programs is studying trends in enrollment over time. She finds that the number of participants

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

<em>The function is : $y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, after $x$ years, the number of participants in the town's soccer program is $y_{1}$ and in the town's street hockey program is $y_{2}$

This year, there are 120 children participating in each program.

The number of participants in the town's soccer program increases by 10% each year.

Using the exponential growth formula, <u>the number of participants in the town's soccer program after $x$ years will be</u>.....

$y_{1}=120(1+0.10)^x\\ \\ y_{1}=120(1.10)^x$

The number of participants in the town's street hockey program increases by 10 children each year.

So, the number of increased participants in $x$ years $=10x$

Thus, <u>the number of participants in the town's street hockey program after $x$ years will be</u>.....

$y_{2}=120+10x$

If the total number of children participating in the two programs is represented as $y$ , then.....

$y= y_{1}+y_{2}\\ \\ y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$

So, the function that can be used to predict the total number of children participating in the town's soccer and street hockey programs in x years will be: $y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$
