A plot of the points A(-2, 11), B(5, 7), C(1, 0) is given by the option;

  • D

  • The triangle is a right triangle given that (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

  • The area of the ∆ABC is 32.5 square units.

  • Sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle = <u>130</u>

  • Square of the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle = <u>130</u>

<h3>How can ∆ABC be proven to be a right triangle from its dimensions?</h3>

The coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are;

A = (-2, 11), B = (5, 7), C = (1, 0)

Therefore, on the coordinate plane, we have;

The highest and leftmost point of the triangle is the vertex, <em>A</em>

The second highest and rightmost point of the triangle is the vertex, <em>B</em>

The<em> </em>vertex of the triangle that is midway between <em>A </em>and <em>B </em>and the lowest vertex of the triangle is the vertex <em>C</em>

  • The<em> </em>correct<em> </em>option that shows the points ABC and triangle ABC is the option <em>D</em>.

The lengths of the sides of the triangle are;

AB = √((-2 - 5)² + (11 - 7)²) = √(65)

BC = √((5 - 1)² + (7 - 0)²) = √(65)

AC = √((-2 - 1)² + (11 - 0)²) = √(130)

Therefore;

(AC)² = 130 = (AB)² + (BC)² = 65 + 65

Which gives;

  • (AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

Therefore;

  • ∆ABC is a right triangle, from the definition of a right triangle.

The legs of ∆ABC are AB and BC

AC is the hypotenuse of ∆ABC

The area of ∆ABC is therefore;

Area = (1/2) × AB × BC

Which gives;

Area of ∆ABC = (1/2) × √(65) × √(65)

√(65) × √(65) = 65

  • Area of ∆ABC = (1/2) × 65 = 32.5

(AB)² + (BC)² = 65 + 65 = 130

Therefore;

  • Sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle = 130

(AC)² = 130

  • Square of the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle = 130

The graph of the step function g(x) = –⌊x⌋ + 3 is shown. On a coordinate plane, a step graph has horizontal segments that are ea
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

{x| –2 ≤ x < 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a box function plotted on the graph.

The function is  g(x) = –⌊x⌋ + 3.

Now, we know that a box function represents a step graph having horizontal segments that are each 1 unit long. The left end of each segment is a closed circle. The right end of each segment is an open circle.  

It is given that the left-most segment of the given graph goes from (-2,5) to (-1,5) and the rightmost segment goes from (4,-1) to (5,-1).

So, for the left most segment the domain is -2 ≤ x < -1

And for the right most segment the domain is  4 ≤ x < 5  

Therefore, the total domain of g(x) will be  {x| –2 ≤ x < 5} (Answer)

For what values of t on the interval [0, 21 ]is the instantaneous velocity positive​ (the projectile moves​ upward)?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

0 <=t<=21

Step-by-step explanation:

Projectile is Moving upwards on an interval of (0 to 21), if we plot Velocity vs Time and denote positive y-axis above 0 and negative y-axis below  0(for velocity), then from 0 to 21 t projectile is moving upwards and has positive velocity, when the projectile reaches the top of it's motion and returns back down to ground it's velocity is negative and is plotted below the y =0 (note that is for t > 21).

hence for the interval 0 <=t <=21 the instantaneous velocity is positive (Note, instantaneous velocity is also the derivative of the velocity or the slope ).

The table shows revenue R (in millions of dollars) of a company when it spends A (in millions of dollars) in advertising.
Orlov [11]
Advertising is x and revenue is y

(0,2)(2,6)
slope = (6 - 2) / (2 - 0) = 4/2 = 2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(0,2)...x = 0 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = 2(0) + b
2 = b

so ur equation is : y = 2x + 2

spends 10 mill on advertising.....so x = 10
y = 2x + 2
y = 2(10) + 2
y = 20 + 2
y = 22.....so the revenue (y) of the company is 22 (million)
