Okay i got lets work itAnswer:

<span>h≈4.874</span> <span>cm,b≈21.748</span> cm

Explanation:

<span><span>Atriangle</span>=<span>12</span>bh</span>

"The base of a triangle is twelve more than twice its height."

From this we can say that:

<span>b=<span>2h</span>+12</span>

So, if <span>A=<span>12</span>bh</span>, we can replace b with <span>2h+12</span>.

<span>A=<span>12</span><span>(2h+12)</span>h</span>

<span>53=<span>12</span><span>(2h+12)</span>h</span>

<span>53=<span>(h+6)</span>h</span>

<span>53=<span>h2</span>+6h</span>

<span><span>h2</span>+6h−53=0</span>

Use the quadratic formula.

<span>h=<span><span>−6±<span>√<span><span>62</span>−4<span>(−53)</span><span>(1)</span></span></span></span>2</span></span>

<span>h≈4.874</span>

(Ignore the negative answer—height can't be negative.)

<span>b≈2<span>(4.874)</span>+12</span>

<span>b≈<span>21.748
</span></span>

2x^2-7/2= x^2-7/2

x^2-7/2=10000

I need help understanding rate of change and slope.
Papessa [141]
Rate of Change and Slope are both the same thing. They show the amount of change on the “y-axis” as the “x-axis” moves. I hope it helps... we learned this in class about a month ago.

2 1/2 x 3 1/5 fast please
vova2212 [387]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's turn each mixed fraction into an improper fraction:</u>

2 \frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}

3\frac{1}{5} =\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{1}{5} =\frac{16}{5}

<u>Multiply:</u>

\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{16}{5} =\frac{80}{10}

<u>Simplify:</u>

\frac{80 \div 10}{10 \div 10} =\frac{8}{1} =8

8 is your simplified product.

Consider the function below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 27x + 3 (a) Find the interval of increase. (E
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

(-∞,-3) and (3,∞)  

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3

1. Find the critical points

(a) Calculate the first derivative of the function.

f'(x) = 3x² -27  

(b) Factor the first derivative

f'(x)= 3(x² - 9) = 3(x + 3) (x - 3)

(c) Find the zeros

3(x + 3) (x - 3) = 0

x + 3 = 0      x - 3 = 0

     x = -3          x = 3

The critical points are at <em>x = -3</em> and x = 3.

2. Find the local extrema

(a) x = -3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = (-3)³ - 27(-3) + 3 = -27 +81 + 3 = 57

(b) x = 3

f(x) = x³ − 27x + 3 = 3³ - 27(3) + 3 = 27 - 81 + 3 = -51

The local extrema are at (-3,57) and (3,-51).

3, Identify the local extrema as maxima or minima

Test the first derivative (the slope) over the intervals (-∞, -3), (-3,3), (3,∞)

f'(-4) = 3x² -27 = 3(4)² - 27  = 21

f'(0) = 3(0)² -27 = -27

f'(4) = 3(4)² - 27 = 51

The function is increasing on the intervals (-∞,-3) and (3,∞).

The graph below shows the critical points of your function.
