Answer:

Square is a kind of kite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Kite is a flat shape with two pairs of sides and each pair is made of two adjacent sides that are equal in length.

Square has four equal sides and four equal angles of 90°

Square is a kind of kite because it has two pairs of equal adjacent side.

Hence, square is a kind of kite.

consider the function f(x) = x2 2x – 15. what are the x-intercepts of the function? left-most x-intercept: ( , 0) right-most x-i

eimsori [14]

we have

$f(x)=x^{2} +2x-15$

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

in this problem

Find the roots of the function

equate the function to zero

$x^{2} +2x-15=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2} +2x=15$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} +2x+1=15+1$

$x^{2} +2x+1=16$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=16$

Square root both sides

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{16}$

$(x+1)=(+/-)4$

$x=-1(+/-)4$

$x1=-1+4=3$

$x2=-1-4=-5$

$x^{2} +2x-15=(x-3)(x+5)$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the x-intercepts are the points $(3,0)$ and $(-5,0)$

A) The person that has a greater probability of selecting a quadrilateral is Robert.

B) The person that has a greater probability of selecting a polygon is; Robert.

C) The event that is more likely to happen is the Probability of Sandy selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel.

<h3>How to Identify Polygons?</h3>

Sandy has; Square, Rhombus, Equilateral Triangle, Regular Hexagon

Robert has Scalene Triangle, Kite, Right Isosceles Triangle, Isosceles Trapezoid, Quadrilateral.

A) Sandy's probability of selecting a quadrilateral = 2/4 = 0.5

Robert's probability of selecting a quadrilateral = 3/5 = 0.6

The person that has a greater probability of selecting a quadrilateral is Robert

B) The person that has a greater probability of selecting a polygon is; Robert because he has more.

C) Probability of Sandy selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel is; 3/4 = 0.75

The Probability of Robert selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel is; 2/5 = 0.4

The event that is more likely to happen is the Probability of Sandy selecting a polygon with at least 2 sides parallel.

In a sequence described by a function, what does the notation f(3) = 1 mean?

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The third term in the sequence has a value of 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

"f(x)" is the name (label) of the function. If x is replaced by "3", f(3) represents the value of the 3rd term of the function, which is 1. This corresponds to Answer 3: The third term in the sequence has a value of 1.
