Answer:

f(x) = -5x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Step 1: Define

y + 5x = 16

Step 2: Put into slope-intercept form

Subtract 5x on both sides; y = -5x + 16

Step 3: Rewrite in function notation

f(x) = -5x + 16

An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 6 cm and 5 cm long. A second side of the

sveticcg [70]

<span>Based in the information given in the problem, you must apply the The Angle Bisector Theorem. Let's call the triangle: "ABC"; the internal bisector of the angle that divides its opposite side: "AP"; and "x": the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle.

If BP= 6 cm and CP= 5 cm, we have:

BP/CP = AB/AC

We don't know if second side of the triangle (6.9 centimeters long) is AB or AC, so:

1. If AB = 6.9 cm and AC = x:
6/5 = 6.9/x
x = (5x6.9)/6
x = 5.80 cm

2. If AC= 6.9 cm and AB= x:
6/5 = x/6.9
x = 6.9x6/5
x = 8.30 cm

Then, the answer is:
The longest possible length of the third side of the triangle is 8.30 cm and the and shortest length of it is 5.80 cm.</span>

Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = one-halfx2 + 5x + 6 increasing?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x\in[-5,\ \infty)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+5x+6\\\\\text{The coeficient of}\ x^2\ \text{is the positive number. Therefore the parabola is op}\text{en up}.\\\\\text{If a parabola op}\text{en up, then the graph increasing in interval}\ (h,\ \infty),\\\text{and decreasing in interval}\ (-\infty,\ h).\ \text{Where}\ h\ \text{is a first coordinate of a vertex.}\\\\\text{For}\ y=ax^2+bx+c,\ h=\dfrac{-b}{2a}.\\\\\text{We have}\ a=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{and}\ b=5.\ \text{Substitute:}\\\\h=\dfrac{-5}{2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}=-\cdot\dfrac{5}{1}=-5.$
