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?

EF + FD > DE
ED + EF < DF
ED + EF > DF
EF + FD < DE

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

The functions f and g are defined by f: x = 4 - x and g: x = hx² + k. If the composite function gf is given by gf: x + 2x² - 16x
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4-x

g(x) = hx^{2}+k

g(f(x)) = 2x^{2}-16x+26

so put  f(x)  in g(x)

h(4-x)^{2}+k

h((4-x)(4-x) + k

h(x^{2}-8x+16)+k

if h = 2 , then

2x^{2}-16x+32 + k

and we want 26  instead of 32 so subtract 6 so K = (-6)

2x^{2}-16x+32 + (-6)

2x^{2}-16x+32 - 6

2x^{2}-16x+26

h=2

k=(-6)
