Answer:

$\frac{984}{17}$ or around 57.88

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the base length by using the formula for the area of a triangle.

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Plug in the values that we know, the area and the height, and solve for $b$ .

$493=\frac{17b}{2}$

$984=17b$

$b=\frac{984}{17}So the base is [tex]\frac{984}{17}$ or about 57.88 if you round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

58 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the length of the base of a triangle, given the height and area. The formula for the area of a triangle

A=1/2 bh

relates A= the area, b= length of the base, and h= the height of a triangle, so this is the formula we should use.

We are given that the area of the triangle is A=493 and the height h=17. Substitute this information into the formula and solve for b to find

A=493

493=1/2⋅b⋅17

493=17/2b

58=b

The length of the base is 58 meters.

What is the range of the function f(x) = 3x2 + 6x – 8?

timama [110]

Answer:

Range is {y | y ≥ –11}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quadratic equation.

A quadratic equation's range can be found if we find the vertex.

For quadratic equations that have a positive number in front of $x^{2}$ , it is upward opening and thus all the numbers greater than or equal to the minimum value of vertex is the range.

The formula for vertex of a parabola is:

Vertex = $(-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a})$

Where,

$a$ is the coefficient of $x^{2}$
$b$ is the coefficient of $x$

From our equation given, $a=3$ and $b=6$

Now, $x$ coordinate of vertex is $x=-\frac{b}{2a}\\x=-\frac{6}{(2)(3)}\\x=-\frac{6}{6}\\x=-1$

$y$ coordinate of the vertex IS THE MINIMUM VALUE that we want. We get this by plugging in the $x$ value [ $x=-1$ ] into the equation. So we have:
