Which of the following lengths could form a triangle? (A)34,40,83 (B)5,33,51 (C)19,31,50 (D)13,18,29

1 answer:

4 0

Let a, b and c

The lengths of triangle

The sum of two sides will always be larger than the other side.

Then,

| b - c | < a < b + c
| a - c | < b < a + c
| a - b | < c < a + b

To the question A)

a = 83

83 < 40 + 34

83 < 74

False!
____________

Letter B)

a = 51

51 < 33 + 5

False!
___________

Letter C)

a = 50

50 < 31 + 19

False!
____________

Now on the letter D)

a = 29

29 < 18 + 13

29 < 31

It is correct!

Then,

The letter D) would be the answer!

The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression r

Blababa [14]

Answer:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

$y=ab^x$

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).

Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^x)\\\\After\ ten\ years(x=10*12\ months=120\ months):\\\\y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$

Why does a radical function with an even index only appear on one sode of the x-axis while a radical woth an odd index appears o

Vladimir79 [104]

Consider the equation y = x^2. No matter what x happens to be, the result y will never be negative even if x is negative. Example: x = -3 leads to y = x^2 = (-3)^2 = 9 which is positive.

Since y is never negative, this means the inverse x = sqrt(y) has the right hand side never be negative. The entire curve of sqrt(x) is above the x axis except for the x intercept of course. Put another way, we cannot plug in a negative input into the square root function for this reason. This similar idea applies to any even index such as fourth roots or sixth roots.

Meanwhile, odd roots such as a cube root has its range extend from negative infinity to positive infinity. Why? Because y = x^3 can have a negative output. Going back to x = -3 we get y = x^3 = (-3)^3 = -27. So we can plug a negative value into the cube root to get some negative output. We can get any output we want, negative or positive. So the range of any radical with an odd index is effectively the set of all real numbers. Visually this produces graphs that have parts on both sides of the x axis.

Given circle X with radius 10 units and chord AB with length 12 units, what is the length of segment CX, which bisects the chord

andrew-mc [135]

Consider the circle with center X, as shown in the figure.

Draw the diameter of the circle which is parallel to cherd AB, as shown in the figure.

Since the diameter and AB are parallel, then the line segment XC which bisects AB at C, will be perpendicular to AB.

SO triangle XCB is a right triangle. Thus the length of CX, by the Pythagorean theorem is

$\sqrt{ XB^{2}- CB^{2}} = \sqrt{ 10^{2}- CB^{6}}= \sqrt{100-36}= \sqrt{64}=8$ units.

Answer: 8 units
