Greetings from Brasil...

Check Attachment!!!

According to the statement of the question, we have:

a/b = 3/4

Note that according to the attached figure, b > a, then the correct proportion will be a to 3, as well as b to 4, because b > a and 4 > 3

Isolating a and b:

a = 3b/4

b = 4a/3

From Pythagoras:

h² = a² + b² - as a = 3b/4 and b = 4a/3, so

For Area:

A = b.a/2

as b = 4h/5 and a = 6h/5, so

Whats another way to write 171.9%

Nastasia [14]

$p\%=\frac{p}{100}\\\\171.9\%=\frac{171.9}{100}=\frac{171.9\cdot10}{100\cdot10}=\frac{1719}{1000}=\boxed{1\frac{719}{1000}=1.719}$

The graph of the function f(x) = –(x + 6)(x + 2) is shown below.Which statement about the function is true?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The first statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is f(x) = - (x + 6)(x + 2)

⇒ f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

Now, condition for a function f(x) to be increasing at x = a is f'(a) > 0.

Now, f(x) = - x² - 8x - 12

⇒ f'(x) = -2x - 8 {Differentiating with respect to x}

Now, f'(a) = -2a - 8 {Here a can be any real value}

And, the condition for increasing function at x = a is

- 2a - 8 > 0

⇒ - 2a > 8

⇒ a < - 4

Therefore, the first statement is true i.e. the function is increasing for all real values of x where x < – 4. (Answer)
