Answer:

<em>No, this triangle is not possible</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, it should be that:

a + b > c,

a + c > b,        ⇒        <em> a, b, and c are sides of this triangle</em>

b + c > a

~ In this case let us say a = 4 inches, b = 6 inches, and c = 11 inches ~

4 + 6 > 11,

4 + 11 > 6,        ⇒        <em> </em><em>Here 10 is not greater than 3rd side and thus    </em>

11 + 6 > 4 <em>                                        doesn't form a triangle</em>

No, because side 11 is greater than the sum of the two other sides.

Write the standard form of the equation of each line. How do I find the slope and y-intercept with the graph for problem 6???
lisov135 [29]
The standard form for an equation is y=mx+b. You find the slope by using the formula of rise over run. This means that for problem 6 you first look to see if its positive or negative slope. The slope is positive if the line is going uphill and if its going downhill its negative. The slope would be negative for number 6 because it is going downhill. Then for the actualy slope you would start with rise. So you look at the point (0,1) and go up 3 until you hit the line of the other point and run over 2. So your slope would be -3/2.

An open box is to be made from a flat piece of material 14 inches long and 6 inches wide by cutting equal squares of length xfro
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

f(x)=x(14-2x)(6-2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of flat piece of material=14 in

Width of flat piece of material=6 in

We have to find the volume of box as a  function of x.

An open box is made from flat piece of material by cutting equal squares of length x from the corner and folding up the sides.

Therefore, Height of box=x in

Length of box=14-2x in

Width of box=6-2x in

We know that volume of box=length\times breadth\times height

Using the formula

Volume of box=f(x)=x(14-2x)(6-2x)

Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at y = ±2 and foci at (0, 4) and (0, −4)?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, I'm assuming that when you said "directrices" you mean the oblique asymptotes, since hyperbolas do not have directrices they have oblique asymptotes.

If we plot the asymptotes and the foci, we see that where the asymptotes cross is at the origin. This means that the center of the hyperbola is (0, 0), which is important to know.

After we plot the foci, we see that they are one the y-axis, which is a vertical axis, which means that the hyperbola opens up and down instead of sideways. Knowing those 2 characteristics, we can determine that the equation we are trying to fill in has the standard form

\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1

We know h and k from the center, now we need to find a and b. Those values can be found from the asymptotes. The asymptotes have the standard form

y = ±\frac{a}{b}(x-h)+k

Filling in our asymptotes as they were given to us:

y = ±\frac{2}{1}(x-0)+0 where a is 2 and b is 1. Now we can write the formula for the hyperbola!:

\frac{(y-0)^2}{4}-\frac{(x-0)^2}{1}=1 which of course simplifies to

\frac{y^2}{4}-\frac{x^2}{1}=1
