Select the assumption necessary to start an indirect proof of the statement. If 3a+7 < 28, then a<7.

When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.

In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.

a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:

3a+7≥28,

which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.

So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.


Answer: assume a≥7

Please help I don't understand​
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

3. 3:5

4. 4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Just ratios I believe, myb if it's wrong but that should be it.

Since 3 & 5 aren't divisible by anything the scale factor is just 3:5.

Since 24 & 6 are divisible by a common number, being 6, you'd divide 24:6 & get a scale factor of 4:1.

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

x = 5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

cos45° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } , then

cos45° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{5}{x} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } ( cross- multiply )

x = 5\sqrt{2}

You would represent this using a linear function. You would use a linear function because it deacreases at a steady rate
