So for this, we will be applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of 2 sides must be greater than the third side for it to be a triangle. If any inequality turns out to be false, then the set cannot be a triangle.

A+B>C\\A+C>B\\B+C>A

<h2>First Option: {6, 10, 12}</h2>

Let A = 6, B = 10, and C = 12:

6+10>12\\16>12\ \textsf{true}\\\\6+12>10\\18>10\ \textsf{true}\\\\12+10>6\\22>6\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Second Option: {5, 7, 10}</h2>

Let A = 5, B = 7, and C = 10

5+7>10\\12>10\ \textsf{true}\\\\5+10>7\\15>7\ \textsf{true}\\\\10+7>5\\17>5\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Third Option: {4, 4, 9}</h2>

Let A = 4, B = 4, and C = 9

4+4>9\\8>9\ \textsf{false}\\\\4+9>4\\13>4\ \textsf{true}\\\\4+9>4\\13>4\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Fourth Option: {2, 3, 3}</h2>

Let A = 2, B = 3, and C = 3

2+3>3\\5>3\ \textsf{true}\\\\2+3>3\\5>3\ \textsf{true}\\\\3+3>2\\6>2\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

Since the third option had an inequality that was false, <u>the third option cannot be a triangle.</u>

The triangle theorem which represents the relationship between sides is a-b<c<a+b

First you have four sets.

1) 10-6<12<10+6 => 4< 12 < 16 true

2) 7-5<10<7+5 = 2<10<12 true

3) 4-4<9<4+4 => 0<9<8 not true

4) 3-2<3<3+2 => 1<3<5 true

The set No 3 can not form triangle.

Good luck!!!

Help anyone I don’t understand this ????

The answer would be 0
You combine the first 2 “K” and that would make it k squared meaning it equals to 1 so now it’s 3k minus 3k so 0

6000 for 6 years at 81/2 % compounded daily will grow to a) $9.990.02 b)9.060.00 c) 9788.81 d)9991.15
Flura [38]

Answer:

d)9991.15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sum of money ($6000) compounded daily at an annual interest rate of 8.5% for 6 years.

If the interest is compound daily, and we take a m=365 days a year (or 365 subperiods m), the daily nominal interest rate is:

i_d=\dfrac{i}{m}=\dfrac{0.085}{365}=0.000232877

Then, we can express the final valueo of $6000 compounded daily at an annual interest rate of 8.5% for 6 years as:

FV=IV\left(1+\dfrac{i}{m}\right)^{n\cdot m}\\\\\\FV=6000(1+0.000232877)^{6\cdot 365}\\\\FV=6000(1.000232877)^{2190}\\\\FV=6000\cdot1.665192322\\\\FV\approx9991.15
