Answer:

The length of each sides are 11 feet, 16.5 feet, 27.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sides of a triangle are 2:3:5.

The sides of the triangle = 2x, 3x, 5x

The perimeter of the triangle = 55 feet.

2x + 3x + 5x = 55

10x = 55

x = 55/10 = 5.5

Length of each side : 2x = 2*5.5 = 11 feet

3x = 3*5.5 = 16.5 feet

5x = 5 * 5.5 = 27.5 feet

Describe how to determine the average rate of change between x = 3 and x = 5 for the function f(x) = 3x3 + 2. Include the averag

Serhud [2]

Answer:

147

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is given by the total rise over total run.

$f(x) = 3x^3+2\\f(3)=3*3^3+2=83\\f(5)=3*5^3+2 = 377$

So,

total rise = 377 - 83 = 294

total run = 2

average rate of change = $\dfrac{294}{2} = 147$

Factor each trinomial completely.<br> 4x^2 - 25b^2 and x^2 - 81

GenaCL600 [577]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x2 - 25b2

We can solve it by the squares so

(2x - 5b) (2x + 5b)

2) x2 - 81

The same case is here so

(x - 9) (x + 9)

What is the length of line PS

stiks02 [169]

$PQ^2 = PR \times PS$

$(4x + 4)^2 = (3x + 3)(3x + 3 + 21)$

$16x^2 + 32x + 16= (3x + 3)(3x + 24)$

$16x^2 + 32x + 16= 9x^2 + 81x + 72$

$7x^2 - 49x- 56 = 0$

$7(x^2 - 7x - 8)= 0$

$(x - 8)(x + 1) = 0$

$x - 8 = 0~~~or~~~x + 1 = 0$

$x = 8~~~or~~~x = -1$

x = -1 makes the lengths of segments PQ and PR equal zero.
That is not possible, so the solution x = -1 is discarded.

x = 8

PS = 3x + 3 + 21

PS = 3x + 24

PS = 3(8) + 24

PS = 24 + 24

PS = 48
