Answer:

The length of straw is 21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Lengths of straw = 4x^2-3 , 4x^2-2, 4x^2-1 inches.

Perimeter of the triangle is 12x^2-6  inches.

Perimeter of triangle is sum of three sides .

Thus, when we open the triangle we obtain the length of straw thus perimeter is the length of the straw.

Given x = 1.5 inches

Put in perimeter, we get,

Length of straw = Perimeter of triangle= 12x^2-6 at x = 1.5 inches

\Rightarrow 12(1.5)^2-6=12\times2.25-6=27-6=21

Thus, the length of straw is 21 inches.

The graphs below have the same shape. f(x) = x^2 what is the equation of the graph of g(x)?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Answer: OPTION B

Step-by-step explanation

By definition, the parent function is the simplest form of  a function. In this case, you have the quadratic parent function

As you can see in the graph, the function g(x) is the obtained by shifting the parent function f(x) two units to the right, which is represented with:

Therefore, the equation of the function g(x) is:

Bone-shaped treats are 5 for $3.50 at Shelley's store and Sarah wants to buy 12. She set up and solved this proportion to find h
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost
