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.

Answer:

$\sin \: x - \cos x \: + c$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\int \frac{cos2x}{ \sqrt{1 - sin2x} } dx \\ \\ = \int \frac{ {cos}^{2}x - {sin}^{2}x } { \sqrt{ {sin}^{2}x + {cos}^{2}x - 2sinx \: cosx } } dx \\ \\ = \int \frac{ ({cos}x - {sin}x )({cos}x + {sin}x )} { \sqrt{ {({cos}x - {sin}x )}^{2} } } dx \\ \\ = \int \frac{ ({cos}x - {sin}x )({cos}x + {sin}x )} {{ {({cos}x - {sin}x )} } } dx \\ \\ = \int({cos}x + {sin}x)dx \\ \\ = \int{cos}x \: dx + \int{sin}x \: dx \\ \\ = \sin \: x - \cos x \: + c$

What is the final step in solving the inequality - 2(5 - 4x)< 6x - 4?

mezya [45]

Answer: X < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 < -2x -- Divide by -2

3 > x --- The sign flips when dividing in negative numbers.

Since three is greater than x

X is less than 3

meaning

X < 3

Answer:

1) (2x - 3)(x + 5)

2) 1.5, -5

3) Open upwards from both ends

4) Minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The given polynomial is:

$2x^{2}+10x-3x-15$

Taking out commons, we get:

$2x(x+5)-3(x+5)\\\\ =(2x-3)(x+5)$

This is the factorized form of the polynomial.

Step 2:

The zeros of the functions occur when the function is equal to zero.

i.e.

$(2x-3)(x+5)=0\\\\ \text{According to the zero product property}\\\\ 2x-3=0, x+5=0\\\\ x =\frac{3}{2}=1.5, x = -5$

This means, the zeros of the polynomial are 1.5 and -5

Step 3:

The end behavior of a graph depends on its degree and the sign of leading coefficient. Since the degree is even and the coefficient is positive the graph of the polynomial will opens upwards from left and right side.

Step 4:

The given polynomial is a quadratic function with positive leading coefficient. Since it open vertically upwards, its vertex will be the lowest most point. So, the vertex will be the minimum of the function.
