Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches

Interpret the slope based on the chart.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

b. For 100 additional burglaries in California one expects to see an increase of about 3 burglaries in Hawaii.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope gives the increase in the independent variable per unit increase in the dependent variable. Hence, a reasonable interpretation for the slope would be ;

the rate of change in the number of burglaries in Hawaii per 100 unit change in number of burglaries in California is 3.

Hence, for 100 additional burglaries in California, the rate of change in the number of burglaries in Hawaii is 3.

The coffee Lily likes is composed of 97.3% water and 2.7% cocoa. The coffee John likes is composed of 96% water and 4% cocoa. Ho
mestny [16]

30 ounces of the coffee John likes consists of

  • 0.96\cdot30=28.8 ounces of water
  • 0.04\cdot30=1.2 ounces of cocoa

To this mixture we're adding x ounces of water, so that the new mix has a total volume of 30+x ounces and matches the composition of the coffee Lily likes. This means it would consist of

  • 0.973\cdot(30+x)=28.8+x ounces of water
  • 0.027\cdot(30+x)=1.2 ounces of cocoa (same amount of cocoa as before because pure water is being added)

Solve for x:

0.973(30+x)=28.8+x\implies29.12+0.973x=28.8+x

\implies0.39=0.027x

\implies x\approx14.4

###

Just to confirm: the new mixture consists of

  • 28.8+14.4=43.2 ounces of water
  • 1.2+0=1.2 ounces of cocoa

giving a total volume of 43.2+1.2=44.4 ounces of coffee, and \dfrac{43.2}{44.4}\approx0.973, as required.

Find the domain of the function.
timurjin [86]

When taking square roots, you can't take square roots of negative roots of negative numbers. So, what will work for the domain of u(x) is what makes u(x) zero or more. We can make an inequality for that.

u(x) ≥ 0.

\sqrt{9x+27} \geq  0

9x + 27 ≥ 0 by squaring both sides

9x ≥ -27

x ≥ -3

So the domain of the function is when x ≥ -3 is true.
