Answer:
EB = 20 units

Explanation:
This question can be solved using two methods:
Method #1:
From the image, we can note that D is the midpoint of EB, therefore, ED = DB
This means that:
EB = 2*10 = 20 units

Method #2:
From the image, we know that ED = DB
We are given that ED = 10 units
Therefore:
DB = 3x - 8 = 10
3x = 18
x = 6
DB = 3(6) - 8 = 18 - 8 = 10 units
EB = EB + DB = 10 + 10 = 20 units

Hope this helps :)

Based on the picture, we know that ED is equal to DB. Therefore:

2 times ED=EB
2(10)=20

EB is 20

A seamstress is making a decorative pillow and wants to cover both sides of the pillow with special fabric. The pillow is

Cloud [144]

The three points form a right triangle with legs length 3in and 4in. So, the area is

$\dfrac{3\cdot 4}{2}=6$

So, both sides of the pillow will require 12 squared inches.

Find the domain and range of f(x). Please explain your answer.<br> f(x) = √(x^2+5x+6)

timama [110]

Answer:

Domain:— [ x ≥ -2, x ≤ -3 ]

Range:— [ y ≥ 0 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

You may use graphing calculator to draw a graph and examine the graph’s domain and range. However, I’ll explain further about the graph of quadratic in a surd.

First, factor the quadratic expression in the surd:—

$\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{(x+3)(x+2)}}$

We can find the x-intercepts by letting f(x) = 0.

I’ll be separating in two parts — one for finding x-intercept and one for finding y-intercept.

__________________________________________________________

Finding x-intercepts

Let f(x) = 0.

$\displaystyle \large{0=\sqrt{(x+3)(x+2)}}$

Solve for x, square both sides:—

$\displaystyle \large{0^2 = (\sqrt{(x+3)(x+2)})^2}\\\displaystyle \large{0=(x+3)(x+2)}$

Simply solve a quadratic equation:—

$\displaystyle \large{x=-3,-2}$

Therefore, x-intercepts are:—

$\displaystyle \large{\boxed{x=-3,-2}}$

__________________________________________________________

Finding y-intercept

Let x = 0.

$\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{(0+3)(0+2)}}\\\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{3 \cdot 2}}\\\displaystyle \large{f(x)=\sqrt{6}}$

Therefore, y-intercept is:—

$\displaystyle \large{\boxed{\sqrt{6}}}$

__________________________________________________________

However, I want you to focus on x-intercepts instead. We know that the square root only gives you a positive value. That means the range of function can only be y ≥ 0.

For domain, first, we have to know how or what the graph looks like. You can input the function in a graphing calculator as you’ll see that when x ≥ -2, the graph heads to the right while/when x ≤ -3, the graph heads to the left. This means that the lesser value of x-intercept gets left and more value get right.

See, between -3 < x < -2, there is no curve, point or anything between the interval. Therefore, -3 < x < -2 does not exist in function.

Hence, the domain is:—

x ≥ -2, x ≤ -3
