Answer:

The length of the base is 11 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the triangle is not shown; However, the given details are enough to solve this question.

Given

<em>Shape: Triangle</em>

<em>Represent the height with h and the base with b</em>

b = 3 + 2h

Area = 22

Required

Find the length of the base

The area of a triangle is calculated as thus;

Area = \frac{1}{2} * b * h

Substitute 22 for Area and 3 + 2h for b

The formula becomes

22 = \frac{1}{2} * (3 + 2h) * h

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * 22 = 2 * \frac{1}{2} * (3 + 2h) * h

44 = (3 + 2h) * h

Open the bracket

44 = 3 * h + 2h * h

44 = 3h + 2h^2

Subtract 44 from both sides

44 - 44 = 3h + 2h^2 - 44

0 = 3h + 2h^2 - 44

Rearrange

0 = 2h^2 +3h - 44

2h^2 +3h - 44 = 0

At this point, we have a quadratic equation; which is solved as follows:

2h^2 +3h - 44 = 0

2h^2 + 11h - 8h - 44 = 0

h(2h + 11) - 4(2h + 11) = 0

(h - 4)(2h + 11) = 0

Split the above

(h - 4) = 0\ or\ (2h + 11) = 0

h - 4 = 0\ or\ 2h + 11 = 0

Solve the above linear equations separately

h - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides

h - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

h = 0 + 4

h = 4 ---- <em>First value of h</em>

2h + 11 = 0

Subtract 11 from both sides

2h + 11 - 11 = 0 - 11

2h  = 0 - 11

2h = -11

Divide both sides by 2

\frac{2h}{2} = -\frac{11}{2}

h = -\frac{11}{2}<em> ------ Second value of h</em>

Since height can be negative, we'll discard h = -\frac{11}{2}

Hence, the usable value of height is h = 4

Recall that b = 3 + 2h

Substitute 4 for h

b = 3 + 2(4)

b = 3 + 8

b = 11

Hence, the length of the base is 11 meters

Write a polynomial of least degree with rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and zeros at 3 and sqr root 7. Expand
Tresset [83]

Answer:

(x-3)(x^2-7) = x^3 -3x^2 -7x + 21

just change the sign of the root and put x in front of it, then multiply the factors all together

(x-3)(x-sqr7)(x+sqr7)    roots come in conjugate pairs to eliminate irrational coefficients

(x-sqr7)(x+sqr7) = x^2-7.  similar to (a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2

Whats has the same slope of 6x-3y=9
Crank

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

when you put it into slope intercept form you get

y=2x-3

2 is the slope, so

y=2x+3 would have the same slope which means these lines are parallel.

A sequence is defined by the recursive function f(n + 1) =1/3 f(n). if f(3) 9= , what is f(1)
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

f(1) = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n + 1) = 1/3 f(n)

⇔ f(n) = 3 × f(n + 1)

……………………………

if f(3) = 9  ⇒  f(2) = 3 × f(3) = 3 × 9 = 27

Then

f(1) = 3 × f(2) = 3 × 27 = 81

How would you find: the number, 3/7 of which is equal to t ?
alexira [117]

Answer:

n = (7/3)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Represente the unknown number by n.  Then write the statement symbolically, as:

(3/7)n = t

and then solve the above equation for n by multiplying both sides by (7/3):

n = (7/3)t
