Can a triangle be formed with side lengths 15, 7, and 6? Explain.

Mathematics

Answer:

<h3>No.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides would be unbalanced. To get the sides of a triangle, you have to add up the first two sides. The two sides combined usually have to be less than or equal to 15 to be considered "balanced". 22 is greater than 15, so that would leave you with an unbalanced triangle, sometimes considered degenerate. A degenerate triangle is a flat triangle that almost looks like a line. The triangle's vertices all lie on the same line, which makes it look very flat. That's why degenerate triangles are rarely considered "balanced" in regards to unit measures. So, given this is an unbalanced triangle, the answer to your question would be no.

Hope this helps!

Explain the steps necessary to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example to illustrate the method:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 10

First divide the first 2 terms by the coefficient of x^2 , which is 3:

= 3(x^2 - 2x) + 10

Now  divide the -2 ( in -2x) by 2 and write the x^2 - 2x in the form

(x - b/2)^2 - b/2)^2  (where b = 2) , which will be equal to x^2 - 2x in a different form.

= 3[ (x - 1)^2 - 1^2 ] + 10 (Note: we have to subtract the 1^2 because (x - 1)^2 = x^2 - 2x  + 1^2  and we have to make it equal to x^2 - 2x)

= 3 [(x - 1)^2 -1 ] + 10

= 3(x - 1)^2 - 3 + 10

= <u>3(x - 1)^2 + 7 </u><------- Vertex form.

In general form the vertex form of:

ax^2 + bx + c  = a [(x - b/2a)^2 - (b/2a)^2] + c .

This is not easy to commit to memory so I suggest the best way to do these conversions is to remember the general method.
