Let h represent the height of the triangle.

... b = 10 + 3h . . . . . . the base is 10 inches more than 3 times the height

... A = (1/2)bh . . . . . . formula for the area of a triangle in terms of base and height

... 16 = (1/2)(10 +3h)h . . . . substitute the known values

... 3h² + 10h - 32 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

... (h -2)(3h +16) = 0

... h = 2 or -16/3 . . . . . . . . the negative solution is extraneous

... b = 10 + 3·2 = 16 . . . . . use the relation between b and h

The base and height of the triangle are 2 inches and 16 inches, respectively.

Which graph of y=log(-x)?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: The graph is attached. Please note that the logarithm function is defined for non-negative Reals only. Therefore the log(-x) only exists in the negative interval (-inf,0). Please let me know if you have any questions.

Rationalize the denominator !!!
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

\frac{1\cdot \left(4+\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(4-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(4+\sqrt{3}\right)}\\

1\cdot \left(4+\sqrt{3}\right)=4+\sqrt{3}

\left(4-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(4+\sqrt{3}\right) = 13

= \frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{13}

x = 4

y = 3

z = 13

Three printing presses, R, S, and T, working together at their respective constant rates, can do a certain printing job in 4 hou
zmey [24]

Answer:

20(E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Printing press R, S and T are working together at their respective constant rate.

They can do a job for 4 hours.

Let r, s and t be the time for printing press R, S and T to complete the job alone at their respective constant rate.

Rate of printing press R = 1/r

Rate of printing press S = 1/s

Rate of printing press T = 1/t

Rate = job / time

R + S + T = 4

1/r + 1/s + 1/t = 1/4

S + T = 5

1/s + 1/t = 1/5

Substitute 1/s + 1/t = 1/5 in the equation 1/r + 1/s + 1/t = 1/4

1/r + 1/5 = 1/4

1/r = 1/4 - 1/5

1/r = (5 - 4)/ 20

1/r = 1/20

r = 20 hours

It takes the printing press R 20 hours to complete the job alone

Find a polynomial function of degree 3 with -2, 3, 5 as zeros
Lorico [155]
So theyre trying to scare you in this question by giving you the zeros to an already existing function. Basically if x = 1, than the reverse function of this is (x-1)
using that, we can say that the zero or "root" "-2" is equal to (x+2)same with 3, we can say (x-3)= x = 3 and with five, (x-5)= x = 5
so, we have those functions, we can multiply them to eachother to work backwards.(x+2)(x-3)(x-5) =(x^2-x-9)(x-5) =x^3 - 6x^2 - 4x + 45
