Answer:

The length of DF must be between 21 and 53.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the length of two sides added together must exceed the length of the 3rd side. So, since EF is the shortest of the two givens, we know that EF + DF must be greater than DE. So we can plug in these numbers to find the minimum.

EF + DF > DE

16 + DF > 37

DF > 21

Now, for the upper maximum, we know that the two given lengths must be greater than the length of DF. So again, we can solve for the maximum using the amounts.

DE + EF > DF

37 + 16 > DF

53 > DF

With these two in mind, we know that DF must be between 21 and 53

Answer: 21 < DF < 53 ; Triangle Inequality Theorem

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any two sides is greater than the sum of the third side.

DE + EF > DF          EF + DF > DE                 DE + DF > EF

37 + 16 > DF           16 + DF > 37                  37 + DF > 16

       53 > DF                   DF > 21                           DF > -21


Now let's put together the answers.  Note that DF > -21 is irrelevant since all lengths must be greater than 0.

53 > DF  and DF > 21  means that DF is between 53 and 21

----->    21 < DF < 53

Challenge A movie theater sends out a coupon for 35% off the price of a ticket. Write an equation
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The equation is y= 0,65 x

If x is the price of the ticket without the coupon, and the theater offers a discount if you have a coupon, then having a coupon means that the price a person ultimately  pays (y) is  the original price (x) minus a 35% of this price: y= x -0.35 x . By association: y= (1-0.35) x and then y= 0.65 x.

The line should be in the first quadrant because the first quadrant allows you to represent a situation in which the dependent variable (y) and the independent variable (x) are both positive. This is the case in this exercise, because both prices, the one without discount (x) and the one with discount (y) are necessary positive (you can not pay a negative price!).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The price without discount (or without the coupon) is x.
  • The price with discount (or with coupon) is y.
  • y and x are both related: y is a percentage of x, specifically, y is 35% smaller than x. This means that y =0.65 x.
