Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure some smart guy in Greece noticed this but:

Since 4 + 8 = 12, thats the only option where 2 of the smaller sides add up to the big one. I don't know much of the reasoning behind this but my math teacher showed it to us by using Popsicle sticks to make triangles. You can try it if that helps you think about it. Apparently, if you add up the 2 smaller sides, then it HAS to be more than the biggest side.

<h3>Answer: A) 4</h3>

==========================================

For any triangle with sides a,b,c we can say that the third side c is bound by this restriction

b-a < c < b+a

where 'a' and 'b' are known values, and 'b' is the larger value. So in this case we know that a = 8 and b = 12 making this inequality

b-a < c < b+a

12-8 < c < 12+8

4 < c < 20

The unknown missing side is between 4 and 20, not including either endpoint. This means c cannot equal 4, and c cannot equal 20 either.

Since c = 4 is not possible, this points to choice A as the answer

The other values 12, 8 and 16 are all in the range from 4 to 20, so they are valid possible lengths for c.

note: I'm using the triangle inequality theorem

If f(x) = 4* + 12x and g(x) = 5x - 1, find (f + g)(x).​
Rudik [331]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(f+g)(x)=4^x+17x-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\f(x)=4^x+12x,\ g(x)=5x-1\\\\(f+g)(x)=(4^x+12x)+(5x-1)=4^x+17x-1

4a/3-b/4=6<br> 5a/6+b=13<br> Solve linear system by elimination
kondor19780726 [428]
\bf \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4}=6&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;\cfrac{5a}{6}+b=13&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{let us remove the denominators off those folks}\\&#10;\textit{by multiplying the first one by 12, both sides}\\&#10;\textit{and the second one by 6, both sides, thus}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;12\left( \cfrac{4a}{3}-\cfrac{b}{4} \right)=12(6)\implies 16a-4b=72&#10;\\\\\\&#10;6\left( \cfrac{5a}{6}+b \right)=6(13)\implies 5a+6b=78

\bf  \textit{now, let's do the elimination}&#10;\\\\&#10;&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;16a-4b=72&\boxed{\times 3}\implies &48a-\underline{12b}=216\\\\&#10;5a+6b=78&\boxed{\times 2}\implies &10a+\underline{12b}=156\\&#10;&&--------\\&#10;&&58a+0\quad=372&#10;\end{array}

solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"

Marcus said the product of 78 × 134 is 94.<br><br> How can you tell that his answer is wrong?
QveST [7]
You can use estimation.

80×130=10,400

Clearly 10,400 and 94 are way off.
