A right triangle is formed in the first quadrant by the x- and y-axes and a line through the point (5, 3), as shown in the figur

e below. Write the area A of the triangle as a function of x, and determine the domain of the function. (Enter your answer for the domain using interval notation.)

The area of the triangle as a function of x is A = 3x^2/[2(x -5)] and the domain is x > 5

<h3>Write the area A of the triangle as a function of x</h3>

From the figure, we have the following points:

(0,y), (5,3), and (x,0)

Next, we calculate the slopes between the points.

This is calculated as follows:

  • Slope between (0,y) and (5,3) = [y - 3]/[0 - 5] = [3 - y]/5
  • Slope between (5,3) and (x,0) = [3 - 0]/[5 - x] = 3/[5 - x]

The slopes are equal.

So, we have:

[3 - y]/5 = 3/[5 - x]

Cross multiply

(3 - y)(5 -x) = 15

Divide by 5 - x

(3 - y) = 15/(5 -x)

This gives

y = 3 - 15/(5 -x)

This gives

y = [15- 3x - 15]/[5 - x]

Evaluate

y = 3x/(x - 5)

The area is calculated as:

Area = 1/2 * xy

So, we have:

Area = 1/2 * x * 3x/(x - 5)

Evaluate

Area = 3x^2/[2(x -5)]

Hence, the area of the triangle as a function of x is A = 3x^2/[2(x -5)]

<h3>The domain of the function</h3>

We have:

A = 3x^2/[2(x -5)]

Set the denominator > 0

2(x - 5) > 0

Divide by 2

x - 5 > 0

Add 5 to the sides

x > 5

Hence, the domain is x > 5

Which of the following provides an object with rotational symmetry?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: Choice C) Star shaped symbol

We can rotate the star symbol 90 degrees to have it line up with its original image. The before and after images would be identical after doing such a rotation. So this figure has rotational symmetry.

The other figures would change if we rotated them some angle x such that 0 < x < 360, so they do not have rotational symmetry.
