a triangle has a base that is 3 times longer than its height. it has a area of 486 sq cm. what is the base and height

1 answer:

6 0

B = 3h . . . . . . . .given by the problem statement
A = (1/2)bh . . . . formula for the area of a triangle

486 cm² = (1/2)*(3h)*h . . . substitute given information
(2/3)*486 cm² = h² . . . . . .multiply by 2/3
√324 cm = h . . . . . . . . . . . . . .take the square root

The height is 18 cm.
The base is 3*18 = 54 cm.

Divide x to the 1 half power divided by x to the 2 sevenths power.

Semenov [28]

Remember some basic rules
$\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}$
and
$x^ \frac{m}{n}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}$

so
$\frac{x^\frac{1}{2}}{x^\frac{2}{7}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{7}}$
1/2-2/7=
7/14-4/14=
3/14

$x^{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{7}}=x^{\frac{3}{14}}$

$x^ \frac{3}{14}= \sqrt[14]{x^3}$

f(1)=−8 f(n)=f(n−1)−3 Find an explicit formula for f(n)

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

f(n) = -8 -3(n -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given recursive formula tells you that the difference between two sequential terms is -3, and that the first term is -8. This is a formula for an arithmetic sequence, so we can use the explicit formula ...

f(n) = a1 +d(n -1)

for a1 = -8 and d = -3.

f(n) = -8 -3(n -1)

I need help on this question

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. y = 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula, we can calculate the rate of Marisol's and Timothy's Machines.

$m = \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$

Marisol:

$m = \frac{18-12}{3-2} \\m=6$

Timothy:

$m=\frac{54-36}{6-4} \\m=\frac{18}{2} \\m=9$

Now that we know the rate of their machines, we need to choose a rate that is between 6 and 9. Therefore, the rate of Zorian's machine needs to be y = 8x.
