Answer:

  • 7 feet, 3 feet, 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be a, b and c.

<h3>Given</h3>

The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side

  • a = 3b - 2

The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:

  • c = (3/4)(a + b)

The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:

  • a + b + c = 17.5

<h3>Solution</h3>

Substitute a with b in the second equation:

  • c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5

Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:

  • a + b + c = 17.5
  • 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
  • 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
  • 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
  • 7b = 21
  • b = 3

Find the value of a:

  • a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

Find the value of c:

  • c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5

The sides of the triangle are:

  • a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet

Find the interval(s) on which the function is increasing.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

II (THE Second one )

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when you substitute X by (-2)

you will get :

y=(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 16 = Zero

So, -2 is not including in the interval .

Calcule as potências a seguir e escreva a resposta respectivamente 8 elevado a 2; 10 elevado a menos dois;- 4 elevado a 4; abre
koban [17]

Answer:

We just have to solve each power.

8^{2} = 8 \times 8 = 64\\10^{-2} =\frac{1}{10^{2} } =\frac{1}{100}=0.01 \\(-4)^{4}=(-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) \times (-4)=256 \\(-6)^{4}=(-6) \times (-6) \times (-6) \times (-6)=1,296

Remember, to solve a power, we just need to multiply its base as many times indicates its exponent.

It's important to know that the negative exponent indicates a position, that's why in the second exercise we needed to change the position of the power to continue.

Graph the function. y = 7(6)x+2 + 1
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I must assume that you meant   y = 7(6)^(x+2)  + 1.

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.  Thanks.

1) Graph y = 6^x first.  Its y-intercept is (0, 1).  It has a horizontal asymptote in y = 0.  The graph starts in Quadrant II and progresses into Quadrant I, never touching or crossing the x-axis.

2) Stretch your graph vertically by a factor of 7.

3) Translate your resulting graph up by 1 unit.

4)  Translate your graph 2 units to the LEFT.
