3 connecting lines are shown. Line D F is horizontal. Line D E is about half the length of line D F. Line F E is about one-third

of the length of line D F.
Which inequality explains why these three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle?

The inequality that explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is ED + EF < DF

<h3>Inequalities </h3>

From the question, we are to determine which of the given inequalities explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle

From the given information,

Line DE is about half the length of line DF

That is,

ED = 1/2 DF

Also,

Line FE is about one-third of the length of line DF

That is,

EF = 1/3 DF

Then, we can write that

ED + EF = 1/2DF + 1/3DF

ED + EF = 5/6 DF

Since,

5/6 DF < DF

Then,

ED + EF < DF

Hence, the inequality that explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is ED + EF < DF

An aquarium is being filled at a rate of 2.5 inches per second. The equationLaTeX: y=2.5xy = 2.5 x is used to determine the heig
Reika [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y = 2,5x

y is the height of the water

x is the time.

To get the range of values of the height at t = 60s, we will substitute x = 60 into the function

y = 2.5(60)

y = 150 in

Hence the range of the situation is [0, 150].

The domain will be all positive integers i.e xEZ

3x+5y=-3 x-5y=-5 show your work
frez [133]
We are given the equations 3x+5y=-3 and x-5y=-5.

Both equations have a 5y  term which allows us to easily solve the system by elimination. To do so we will add the equations together like a simple addition problem by adding the x terms together, the y terms together, and the integer answers together.

3x + 5y = -3
+x - 5y = -5
---------------
4x + 0y = -8

The y terms cancel out since one is positive and one is negative. Now we can solve for x.

4x = -8

\frac{4x}{(4)} = \frac{-8}{(4)}

x = -2

Now plug -2 in for x in one of the original equations to find y.

(-2) - 5y = -5

-5y = -3

y = 3/5

Our answer as an ordered pair is (2, 3/5)
