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

1. find the speed of a car
the distance is 124 miles and the time is 2 hours
the speed is defined as distance / time, therefore
speed = 124/2 = 62 miles/hour
that is the speed

2.find the time from equation time = distance/speed, when the distance is 395 miles and the speed is 79 miles/hour, then
time = 395 miles / 79 miles/hour = 395/79
time = 5 hours

The graph of a line and an exponential can intersect twice, once or not at all. Describe the possible number of intersections fo
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

  c) parabola and circle: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 times

  d) parabola and hyperbola: 1, 2, 3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

c. A parabola can miss a circle, be tangent to it in 1 or 2 places, intersect it 2 places and be tangent at a 3rd, or intersect in 4 places.

__

d. A parabola must intersect a hyperbola in at least one place, but cannot intersect in more than 3 places. If the parabola is tangent to the hyperbola, the number of intersections will be 2.

If the parabola or the hyperbola are "off-axis", then the number of intersections may be 0 or 4 as well. Those cases seem to be excluded in this problem statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

since arizbeth is spending $20.08 to put 8 gallons in her car the first step is to divide 20.08 by 8.Then since you have per gallon you have to figure out what 13 gallons is so you multiply per gallon by 13
