The perimeter will also be scaled down by half if the original triangle if it were scaled down by half.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a triangle?</h3>

The total length of a triangle's boundary is referred to as its perimeter. It is the total of the triangle's three sides. A triangle's perimeter will be equal to a+b+c if its three sides are a, b, and c.

The sides of the original triangle are:

x+3, 2x+4, 3x-1

The perimeter of the triangle will be

$x+3+2x+4+3x-1\\=6x+6$

If it were scaled down by half then new sides will be

$\frac{x+3}{2} , \frac{2x+4}{2} , \frac{x-1}{2}$

So, the perimeter of the new triangle will be

$\frac{x+3}{2} + \frac{2x+4}{2} + \frac{3x-1}{2}\\=\frac{x+3+2x+4+3x-1}{2} \\=\frac{6x+6}{2}\\ =3x+3$

This is half of the original triangle's perimeter. Therefore, the perimeter of the new triangle is half of the perimeter of the original triangle.

Here we go again... can someone explain how these problems work?

Effectus [21]

Answer:

x = 5 only

≡ On a graph, the point touches (5, 0), making x equal to 0.

≡ In other words, you must replace y with 0 to solve for x. There is no y term in this problem, so you must determine y by separating the coefficients into groups and determining each part.

I need a Math EXPERT!!! Please help me in my math homework. WILL MARK AS BRAINLIST.

velocity is the slope (which can be calculated after finding the derivative) → given function f(x), velocity = f'(x).

acceleration is the slope of the velocity (which can be calculated after finding the derivative of the velocity) → given function f(x), acceleration is f''(x)

**************************************************************************************************

1a) A → B

f(x) = $\frac{25}{3}x + 10$

f'(x) = $\frac{25}{3}$

1b) B → C

f(x) = $\frac{-15}{3}x + 50$

f'(x) = $\frac{-15}{3}$ = -5

1c) C → D

f(x) = 20

f'(x) = 0

Hope this helps!

Please explain how to do #3

You answered correctly for part a. just simplify it. so for part a it would be x^4 + 8x^3 + 24x^2 + 32x + 16. repeat what you did in part a with part b (add & simplify). btw, the missing side in part c is 2x-x = x

The perimeter of a rectangular lot of land is 436 ft. this includes an easement of x feet of uniform width inside the lot on whi

telo118 [61]

Given the Perimeter of the Lot is 436 ft, and an inner building whose base measures 122ft by 60ft. The key in the problem is that the easement is uniform.

Let X be the measure of easement. See attached

You will derive the equation where if you add X on the length of the inner rectangle length and width, you have below equation

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2*(122+2X) + 2*(60+2x)
436 = 244+4x + 120+4x

Rearranging the equation by shifting all constant on one side.
8x = 436-244-120
8x = 72
x=9 ft

Answer is 9ft easement for with respect to the base of the inner building.
