Answer:

The third side has a length of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides of equal length can be represented as x, and x

The thirds side is five less that twice the length of the other sides can be represented as  2x - 5.

The perimeter is 23, so the sum of all 3 sides is 23, now we have..

x + x + 2x - 5 = 23          solve for x...

4x = 28

x = 7,

so two sides are 7, and 7, and the third side is

2(7) - 5

  14 - 5

   9

△XYZ is mapped to △X'Y'Z' using the rules (x, y)→(x+5, y−3) followed by (x, y)→(−x, −y) .
Yuri [45]

Given that △XYZ is mapped to △X'Y'Z' using the rules (x, y)→(x+5, y−3) followed by (x, y)→(−x, −y) .

We know that (x,y) => (x+h,y+k) type operation represents translation so rule (x, y)→(x+5, y−3)  will cause translation.

We know that (x,y) => (-x,-y) type operation represents rotation about origin so rule (x, y)→(−x, −y) will cause rotation.

So combining both results and comparing with given choices. we find that only 1st choice "△XYZ is congruent to △X'Y'Z' because the rules represent a translation followed by a rotation, which is a sequence of rigid motions."

is correct.

Does each equation represent exponential decay or exponential growth?
agasfer [191]

An exponential equation is represented as: \mathbf{y = ab^x}, where b represents rate

  • Exponential growth: \mathbf{y = 5(7)^x},  \mathbf{y = 3(4.2)^x} and \mathbf{y = 0.6(1.3)^x}
  • Exponential decay: \mathbf{k = 4.2(0.28)^x}
  • Neither: \mathbf{h(x) - 3x + 1.3}

An exponential equation is said to represent growth, if the rate is greater than 1, while it represents decay if the rate is less than 1.

This means that:

\mathbf{y = 5(7)^x},  \mathbf{y = 3(4.2)^x} and \mathbf{y = 0.6(1.3)^x} represent exponential growth because 5, 4.2 and 1.3 are greater than 1

Also,

\mathbf{k = 4.2(0.28)^x} represents exponential decay because 0.28 is less than 1

While

\mathbf{h(x) - 3x + 1.3} is not an exponential function

Graph if f (x) =2x^-10 for find f(5)
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

f(5)=2.048*10^{-7}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that f(x)=2x^{-10}, we want to find f(5).

We can rewrite this function with positive index to get:

f(x)=\frac{2}{x^{10}}

We need to substitute x=5 into the given function to get:

f(5)=\frac{2}{5^{10}}

This implies that:

f(5)=\frac{2}{9765625}

In scientific notation:

f(5)=2.048*10^{-7}

The area of rectangle gets reduced by 50 sq. units. If its length is reduced by 5 unit and the breadth is increased by 2 unit. I
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be a,b units respectively.

Then the area will be ab square units.

Now if the length of the rectangle is reduced by 5 units and breadth is increased by 2 units then new length and breadth will be (a−5) units and (b+2) units.

Then new area will be (a−5)(b+2).

Then according to the problem,

(a−5)(b+2)−ab=−80

or, 2a−5b=−70.......(1).

Now if length of the rectangle is increased by 10 units and breadth is decreased by 5 units then new length and breadth will be (a+10) units and (b−5) units.

Then new area will be (a+10)(b−5).

Then according to the problem,

(a+10)(b−5)−ab=50

or, 10b−5a=100

or, 2b−a=20

or, 4b−2a=40......(2).

Now adding (1) and (2) we get

−b=−30

or, b=30.

Putting the value of b in (1) we get, a=40.

Now a+b=40+30=70.
