First, find the scale factor between both triangles.

25 / 5 = 5

15 / 3 = 5

Second, multiply to find the missing side length.

4 * 5 = 20

Third, solve for x.

3x + 8 = 20

3x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8

3x = 12

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming these are similar triangles,we can use ratios to solve

3x+8 25

---------- = ------

4 5

Using cross products

5(3x+8) = 4*25

Distribute

15x +40 = 100

Subtract 40 from each side

15x+40-40 = 100-40

15x= 60

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 60/15

x =4

Answer:

$Solution: f(x)\ge-5\\Interval:[-5,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: $\frac{1}{4} x^2-5 = y$

1). $\frac{1}{4} x^2-5 = y$ → $\frac{x^2}{4}-5=y$

2). $\frac{x^2}{4}-5=y$ ∴ $a=\frac{1}{4}, b=0, c=-5$

3). $x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}$

$=-\frac{0}{2(\frac{1}{4})}$

$=0$

4). now plug $x_v$ into $y_v$

$y_v=\frac{0^2}{4}-5$

$=-5$

5). Minimum (0,-5) ∴ $f(x)\ge-5$
