The linear function g which has a rate of change of -16 and initial value 600 is; g = -16x + 600.

<h3>What is the linear function which is as described?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the linear expression which is as described by the given verbal description is to be determined.

Since the standard slope-intercept form of a linear function is as given; f(x) = ax + b.

Where, a = slope (rate of change) and b = y-intercept (initial value).

Therefore, the required linear function which is as described is;

g = -16x + 600

morpeh [17]

The complete question is;

Lourdes is making a frame in the shape of a parallelogram. She adds diagonal braces to strengthen the frame. Parallelogram A B C D is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point A to point C and from point D to point B and intersect at point E. The length of D E is (3 y + 6) centimeters, the length of E B is (5 y minus 10) centimeters, and the length of E C is (2 y + 4) centimeters. How long is the brace that connects points B and D? 8 cm 16 cm 30 cm 60 cm

Answer:

60 cm. Option D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, the diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other. Thus;

AE = EC and BE = ED

We are given that;

DE = 3y + 6 cm and BE = 5y - 10 cm, thus;

3y + 6 = 5y - 10

Rearranging, we have;

5y - 3y = 6 + 10

2y = 16

y = 16/2

y = 8 cm

The brace that bisects point B and D is BD. So, BD = BE + DE

So, BD = 5y - 10 + 3y + 6

BD = 8y - 4

Putting 8 for y to obtain;

BD = 8(8) - 4

BD = 64 - 4

BD = 60cm

Solve for x and y<br><br>6/x+2y + 5/x-2y = -3 ;<br>3/x+2y + 7/x-2y = -6

Radda [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

{1/(x+2y)} = u -----Eqn(1)

{1/(x-2y)} = v ------Eqn(2)

So, given equation can be rewritten as

⇛6u + 5v = -3 ---Eqn(3)

⇛3u + 7v = -6 -----Eqn(4)

On multiply equation (4) by 2, we get

⇛6u + 14v = -12 -----Eqn(5)

On subtracting equation (3) from equation (5), we get

⇛9v = -9

⇛v = -9/9

⇛v = -1 ----Eqn(6)

Put value of v in equation (3), we get

6u + 5v = -3

⇛6u + 5 * (-1) = -3

⇛6u -5 = -3

⇛6u = -3 + 5

⇛6u = 2

⇛u = 2/6

⇛u = (2÷2)/(6÷2)

⇛u = 1/3 -----Eqn(7)

Now, substituting value of u and v in equation (1) and equation (2), we get

{1/(x+2y)} = 1/3 and {1/(x-2y)} = -1

⇛x + 2y = 3 -----Eqn(8)

⇛x - 2y = -1 -------Eqn(9)

Now, add equation (8) and equation (9) , we get

⇛2x = 2

⇛x = 2/2

On substituting x = 1 in equation (8), we get

x + 2y = 3

⇛ 1 + 2y = 3

⇛2y = 3 - 1

⇛2y = 2

⇛y = 2/2

Therefore, x = 1 and y = 1

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u> Hence the value of x and y is 1 and 1.

A triangle has side lengths of 7 in., 9 in., and 11 in. Determine whether this is a right triangle and why.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Not a right triangle. See below for my reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

If this is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides will equal the square of the longest side: 7^2 + 9^2 = 11^2 => 49 + 81 = 121 But this is false.

skad [1K]

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing

n ( 1 + n )

Step-by-step explanation:

P( Bob hits target ) = 1/3

P( Eve hits target ) = 2/3

P( Carol hits target ) = 1

<u>Compute the P that Bob wins in a duel against Eve alone</u>

P(Bob hits the target in first shot ) = n = 1/3

P(Bob hits the target in second shot ) = n^2 = ( 1/3 * 1/3 ) = 1/9

hence the probability of Bob winning( i.e. P( Bob wins Event E1 ) = n + n^2 = n ( 1 + n )
