Answer:

third option

Step-by-step explanation:

When x is less than 3, f(x) is negative so the first statement is false. The second statement is also false because the entire function is not positive. The third statement is true because when x is less than 3 f(x) is negative. The fourth statement is false because the entire function is not negative.

The area of a right triangle is sixty square centimetres. Its base is one centimetre less than twice its height. If the base and

Answer:

5. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

We have this information:

A = 60 cm2

b = 2*h - 1

Let's find out b and h:

The equation of the are of a triangle is A = (b*h)/2, if we replace it with our information, we have

$60 = ((2*h - 1) * h)/2\\ 120 = 2*h^2 - h\\ 0 = 2*h^2 - h - 120$

Let's find h with the quadratic formula:

$\fbox {Quadratic formula:} \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$h = \frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4*2*(-120)}}{2*2} = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{961}}{4} = \frac{1\pm\ 31}{4}$

h = 8 or h = -7.5

But h represents the height of the triangle, so it has to be a positive number, that's h = 8.

If we replace this in the equation we had for b, we have that b = 2*8 - 1 = 15.

Now we can calculate the hypotenuse with the Pythagorean equation

$\fbox {Pythagorean equation:}$ <em>The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). </em>
