Answer:

C. 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Given,

The longest side of an isosceles obtuse triangle measures 20 centimeters.

Let x be the measure of the other two congruent sides,

By the above property,

20 < x + x

20 < 2x

10 < x

Thus, the measure of congruent sides must be greater than 10 cm,

Now, In an isosceles obtuse triangle, the square of the longest side is greater than the sum of squares of the other two congruent sides.

(20)^2>x^2+x^2

400>2x^2

200>x^2

10\sqrt{2}>x

Since, √2 = 1.41421356≈ 1.41

\implies x < 10\times 1.41\implies x < 14.1

Hence, the greatest possible whole-number value of the congruent side lengths is 14.

Option C is correct.

Exponential function f is represented by the table. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) -46 -22 -10 -4 -1 Function g is represented by the equati
Scrat [10]

The statement that describes better about function is "Both functions are increasing, but function g increases at a faster average rate." since option (c) is correct.

Given the table

x         f(x)

-2        -46

-1         -22

0         -10

1           -4

2          -1

We have to choose which statement describes better about function

Let us assume f(x)=ab^x+c

at x=0, f(0)=-10

So, -10 =a+c

Similarly, by satisfying the above table in the f(x)

f(x)=\frac{33}{5} (\frac{1}{11})^x-\frac{17}{5}

f'(x) > 0

So we can say that f(x) is an increasing function.

g(x) = - 18  (\frac{1}{3}  )^ x + 2

g^ \prime (x) = - 18 (\frac{1}{3}  )^ x  ln(1/3)

ln(1/3) < 0

So, g^ \prime (x) > 0

So, g(x) is an increasing function.

For any x∈f(x) and  x∈g(x) g'(x) > f'(x)

So, g increases at a faster average rate

Thus, Both functions are increasing, but function g increases at a faster average rate.

Sage and Tom started the month with the same number of talk minutes on their cell phones. Sage talked for 7 minutes with her dad
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a. Sage and Tom have the same number of talk minutes left on their cell phone plans.

b. y = x - 7

Explanation:

Sage talked for 7 minutes with her dad.

Tom talked for 4 minutes with a friend and 3 more minutes with his mom which means he spoke for :

= 4 + 3

= 7 minutes

They both spoke for 7 minutes and therefore have the same amount of time left.

Algebraic expression:

Assuming the time Tom started with is denoted by x and the time he is left with is denoted by y.

The expression is:

y = x - 7
