Leto [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² - 8x + 3

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 + 3

(x - 4)² - 13 ← in vertex form → B

If F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30 find each measure
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The measure of JK is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the points F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30.

The point F is midpoint of JK, point G is midpoint of KL and the point H is midpoint of LJ as shown in figure .

According to the midpoint theorem, the line connecting the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third and its length is half of the third si

Which group of three squares will form a right triangle when<br> joined at their vertices?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Option ?) 17 cm, 15 cm, 8 cm

<em>The assignment should have </em><em>four options</em><em> to choose from, but there is only a picture of two. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>None of the squares </em><em>shown</em><em> form a right triangle. To determine if sides form a right triangle, you use </em><em>this</em><em> formula:</em>

a²+b²=c²

<em>We are given two options in the picture.</em>

Option A) 18, 10, and 8.

Option B) 12, 9, and 6.

<em>So, now we need to apply the formula:</em>

Option A)

║8² + 10² = 18²

  ↓

║64 + 100 = 324

  ↓

║FALSE

Option B)

║6² + 9² = 12²

  ↓

║36 + 81 = 144

  ↓

║FALSE

<em>Both of these options are false.</em><em> But, I decided to look up this assignment to check my answer. It turns out, there are </em><em>4 options</em><em>, and you only had a picture of two. So, what's the answer?</em>

<em />

<em>There is an answer choice that shows 3 squares with the lengths of 17 cm, 15 cm, and 8 cm. </em><em>This is the correct answer</em><em>.</em>

<em />

<em>For proof, let's apply the formula:</em>

Option ?)

║8² + 15² = 17²

  ↓

║64 + 225 = 289

  ↓

║TRUE

<em>[Since the option isn't shown, I'll put a '?' so there is no confusion]</em>

Delicious Candy markets a two-pound box of assorted chocolates. Because of imperfec- tions in the candy making equipment, the ac
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.533.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The actual weight of the chocolate has a uniform distribution ranging from 31 to 32.5 ounces.

Let x is the random variable for the actual weight of chocolate.

According to PDF function.

P(a\leq x\leq b)=\int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Where f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{b-a} & a

It is given that ranging from 31 to 32.5 ounces.

Substitute a=31 and b=32.5 in above function.

f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{32.5-31} & 31

f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{1.5} & 31

We need to find the probability that a box weighs less than 31.8 ounces

Now according to PDF:

P(x

P(x

Hence, the required probability is 0.533.

Which point below is a solution to the equation y = 2x + 3?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

C (37, 77)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Option A:</h3>

291=2(145)+3\\\\291=290+3\\\\\boxed{291\neq 293}

Option A is not a solution.

<h3>Option B:</h3>

163=2(78)+3\\\\163=156+3\\\\\boxed{163\neq 159}

Option B is not a solution.

<h3>Option C:</h3>

77=2(37)+3\\\\77=74+3\\\\\boxed{77=77}

Option C is a solution.

Hope this helps.
