Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem triangles HEF and EGE are similar  

because

EF/GF=HF/EF

substitute the values

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}\\ \\3=3

Is true

The sides are proportional

and

∠HFE=∠GFE

∠EHF=∠GEF

∠HEF=∠EGF

The angles are congruent

The scale factor is equal to

EF/GF

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if they have at least 2 equal angles

Note that the HEF triangle has angles of 90 °, 60 ° and 30 °

Note that the EGF triangle has angles of 90 ° and 30 ° so the third angle must be 60 °

Then HEF and EGF are similar triangles.

By definition for similar triangles it is satisfied that if they have sides of length a, b, c and a ', b' c' then

\frac{a}{a'}=\frac{b}{b'}=\frac{c}{c'}=k

Where the constant k is known as "scale factor"

In this case

\frac{HF}{EF}=\frac{HE}{EG}=\frac{FE}{GF}=k

k=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=\sqrt{3}

\frac{FE}{GF}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}

or

\sqrt{3}:1

The answer is Option C

What is the minimum value for the function shown in the graph? Enter your answer in the box. A sinusoid function graphed on a co
DIA [1.3K]

The sinusoidal function graph has a period of 2·π and a minimum point

with coordinates (-0.5·n·π, -6) where n = -5, -1, 3, ...

Response:

  • The minimum value of the function is -6

<h3>How to find the minimum value of a function?</h3>

The minimum value of a function is the lowest vertex value of the

function.

The given graph description, is the graph of the following function;

f(t) = 0.5·sin(t) - 5.5

The minimum value is given at the location where, sin(t) = -1, which gives;

f(t) = 0.5 × (-1) - 5.5 = -6

The minimum value of the function is therefore;

  • f(t) =<u> -6</u>

What is the value of c so that -12 and 12 are both solutions of x^2-c=108? ​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

c=36

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Because x^2-c=108 can be rewritten as x^2-c-108=0, finding the value of c so that x=(+-)12 solves this equation it means to find the value of c so that (+-)12^2-c-108=0.
  2. Because 12^2=(-12)^2=144, we must find c so that 144-c-108=0.
  3. Because 144-108=36, c=36.
  4. To check, replace c=36 in the initial equation, and check  it is a solution for x=(+-)12.

PLEASE HELP !!!!!
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  -10%

Step-by-step explanation:

  price elasticity of demand = % change in demand / % change in price

Here, the "price" changes from 15 to 45, so its percent change is ...

  ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  = (45/15 -1) × 100%

  = 200%

The % change in demand is given as -20%, so the price elasticity is ...

  price elasticity of demand = (-20%)/(200%) = -0.10 = -10%
