Answer:

a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) is the same thing as "y". Our point gives us an x and y value, so we will sub those into the equation and solve for a:

-2 = a(1/3) - 7 and

-2 = 1/3a - 7 and

5 = 1/3a so

a = 15

The following cube has a volume of 8000 cm3. Find the length of one side of the cube.

Artemon [7]

<span>Vcube = Ledge^3
8000cm^3 = Ledge^3

use the cube root of each side and you have the measure of an edge in cm.

8000^(1/3) = 20
every edge is 20 cm

20^2 = 400
The area of each face is 400 cm^2. </span>

The sum of consecutive integers 1,2,3,...,n is given by the formula 1/2n(n+1). How many consecutive integers, starting with 1, m

LuckyWell [14K]

1/2 * n * (n+1) = 1081

distribute

1/2 n^2 +1/2n -1081=0

factor out 1/2

1/2 (n^2 +n -2162) =0

multiply each side by 2

(n^2 +n -2162) =0

factor

(n-46) (n+47) =0

n=46, n=-47

n cannot be negative

n=46

Consider the triangle.

mr Goodwill [35]

For this case we observe that the three angles of the triangle are equal. Also, we have by definition:

A triangle is equilateral, when the three sides have the same length (in addition, the three internal angles measure 60 degrees or $\frac {\pi} {3}$ .

Answer:

The three sides have the same length
