we know that

Linear function:

A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line, that is a polynomial function of degree at most one

For exp: $y=mx+b$

Here , we are given

$y=\frac{3}{x}$

we can see that

x is in denominator

so, this can not be linear function........Answer

What statement is true?

givi [52]

Answer:

$\frac{18}{32}>\frac{16}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find which statements are true.

Solution to find the same we will solve each statement and will conclude the same.

1. $\frac{14}{21}>\frac{17}{24}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{14}{21} = 0.66$

$\frac{17}{24}=0.70$

So we can see that 0.70 > 0.66

Hence The given statement is False.

2. $\frac{18}{32}>\frac{16}{32}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{18}{32}=0.5625$

$\frac{16}{32}= 0.5$

So we can see that 0.5625 > 0.5

Hence The given statement is True.

3. $\frac{20}{15}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{20}{15} = 1.33$

$\frac{28}{23}=1.2$

So we can see that 1.33 > 1.2

Hence The given statement is False.

4. $\frac{29}{35}$

Now On solving we get;

$\frac{29}{35}= 0.82$

$\frac{20}{30}= 0.66$

So we can see that 0.82 > 0.66

Hence The given statement is False.

The diagram shows a prism.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Total surface area of the prism = 920 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given prism has 2 similar triangular surfaces and 3 rectangular surfaces of different dimensions.

Area of one triangular side = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$

Area of 2 similar sides = Base × Height

= 8 × 15

= 120 cm²

Area of rectangular side with dimensions 17cm × 20cm

Area of the side = 17 × 20 = 340 cm²

Area of the second rectangular side with dimensions 8cm × 20cm

Area of the side = 8 × 20 = 160 cm²

Area of third rectangular side with dimensions 20cm × 15cm

Area of the side = 20 × 15 = 300 cm²

Total surface area of the given triangular prism = 120 + 340 + 160 + 300

= 920 cm²
