Bryan purchases two triangular wall shelves. The sides of each shelf are 8 inches, 10 inches, and 12 inches. He's trying to buil

d a similar, larger triangular shelf to place between the two smaller shelves. Which of the dimensions can Bryan use for the larger shelf so that it is similar to the ones he purchased? Justify why the three triangles are similar.
A) 4 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches; All of the side lengths of the smaller triangles have been multiplied by 1/2, which guarantees side-side-side similarity.

B) 16 inches, 20 inches, and 24 inches; All of the side lengths of the smaller triangles have been multiplied by 2, which guarantees side-side-side similarity.

C) 16 inches, 20 inches, and 24 inches; All of the side lengths of the smaller triangles have been multiplied by 2, which guarantees side-angle-side similarity.

D) 16 inches, 20 inches, and 24 inches; All of the side lengths of the smaller triangles have been multiplied by 2, which guarantees angle-angle-side similarity.

Are constant functions periodic? The reason I ask this is because a function is periodic if it has a period but in a constant fu
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A function f:R→R is periodic if there exists some number t>0 such that

f(x)=f(x+t)

A constant function is periodic since you can take t=1,t=2, etc. (Hint: Hover over the tag "periodic-functions". What do you see?)

The fundamental period of f is the smallest of such t's. Since t cannot be 0, you are looking for the minimum of (0,∞), which does not exist.

What is 380,000,000 in scientific notation?
adelina 88 [10]
The number 380,000,000 in scientific notation is 3.8*10^{8}.
To get this answer, just place a decimal point after the number and keep moving it to the right until you get a number between 0-10. Write that number, write *10, and use the number of times you moved the decimal point as the exponent.

Hope this helps!
