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

Given that f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x − 7, solve for f(g(x)) when x = −3
dusya [7]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

start from the inside and go out.

So first plug in -3 into g(x)

g(-3) = -3 - 7 = -10

then plug in -10 into f(x)

f(-10) = 2(-10) + 5 = -15

so f(g(x)) = -15

Can 24 7ths be equal to another fraction or be simplified in another way
Jobisdone [24]
To check if an improper fraction like like 24/7 can still be simplified, you have to find similar factors that can divide both the numerator (24) and the denominator (7). However in this case, there are no longer any common factors that can divide both of them. However, improper fractions can be represented in a mixed fraction form. 

A mixed fraction is made up of a whole number and a fraction. To change an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient should be a whole number and a remainder. The whole number in the quotient would be the whole number in the mixed fraction, and the remainder would be the numerator.

In the case of 24/7, dividing it would yield us 3 remainder 3. Therefore, the mixed fraction would be:

3 3/7
