A linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction is called a ray i.e., \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option (a)\\\end{minispace}}.  

Further explanation:

To define a linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction, check for the options as shown below.

Option (a): Ray

A ray is defined as a line that starts with one fixed point and extends infinitely along the line from the fixed point.

This means if a linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction then it represents a ray.

Therefore, the option (a) is correct.

Option (b): Line

A line is defined as a straight path whose start and end points are on infinity that means a line extends infinitely in both directions.

Therefore, option (b) is incorrect.

Option (c): Segment

A segment is defined as a part of a line that has a start point and an end point.

This means if start and end point is known then the line is defined as a segment.

Therefore, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (d): Perpendicular bisector

A perpendicular bisector is defined as a line that cuts a line segment into two parts perpendicularly that means the angle between the line segment and perpendicular bisector is 90^{\circ}.

Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.

From the above options of a ray, a line, a segment and a perpendicular bisector we can conclude that given definition is equivalent to the definition of a ray.

Therefore, \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option (a)\\\end{minispace}} is correct.

Answer:- Option A "ray" is the right term which matches with the definition.


Explanation:-

A ray is a line that has one fixed endpoint, and extends infinitely along the line from the fixed endpoint.

Therefore, the term which matches with the given definition is "ray".

Thus A linear set of points with a unique starting point and extending infinitely in one direction is called a ray.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is H.

f(x) = \frac{1}{3} (4)^x

When 4 is brought to the power of a number it gets multiplied to the numerator of 1/3. When inputting those numbers for x in this function, the result is what is shown on the table, meaning the function is correct.

Substitution method- y=-x+4 and y=3x
kumpel [21]
Substitue y=3x into the other equation to get 3x=-x+4. Solve this to get 4x=4 therefore x=1.
knowing this, y=3

if every short side is 1.5 in and every long side is 3 in what is the perimeter wilmart brainiest show your work
Zarrin [17]
Hello there (I can do this one, it's quick enough)

The correct answer is 24 inches

There are 8 short sides, so you would do 1.5 times 8, to get 12 inches

There are 4 long sides, so you would do 3 times 4, to get 12 inches

12 plus 12 = 24 inches

I hope this helped

If L=√(x^2+y^2), dx/dt =-4, dy/dt=3, find dL/dt when x=4 and y=3
yulyashka [42]

Hello,

L=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} \\\\\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-4\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\\\\x=4, y=3\\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x} =\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y} =\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \\\\\dfrac{dL}{dt} =\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial x}*\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial L} {\partial y}*\dfrac{dy}{dt}\\\\=-4*\frac{-4}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}} +3*\frac{3}{\sqrt{4^2+3^2}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{5} +\dfrac{9}{5} \\\\=5\\
