How many triangles can you make from straws with the lengths 2,1,2 inches?

Mathematics
1 answer:
marysya [2.9K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

You can make one triangle with these lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>Triangle Inequality Theorem</u> states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

Verify if the lengths satisfy the triangle inequality theorem

1) 2+1 > 2

3 > 2 ------> is true

2)2+2 > 1

4 > 1 -----> is true

so

The lengths  satisfy the triangle inequality theorem

therefore

You can make one triangle with these lengths

Solve x2+4x+6=0 by graphing
klemol [59]

Answer: x = -2±√2 i or no real roots. See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw the graph, you will notice that there are no common points or you can say that there are no x-intercepts.

This means that the equation doesn't have any real roots.

If there are 2 common points (2 x-intercepts) then there are 2 real roots (answers.)

If there is only one common point (vertex is on x-axis) then there is only 1 real root.

If there aren't any common points (no x-intercepts) then there are no real roots.

So first, I'm gonna convert the equation into function and convert the standard form to vertex form.

x^2+4x+6=0\\y=x^2+4x+6\\y=(x^2+4x+4)-4+6\\y=(x+2)^2+2

We notice that the vertex is at (-2,2), the graph doesn't have x-intercepts (Graph below)

So the answer is clearly complex.

If you solve this by solving the equation then it'll be.

x^2+4x+6=0\\x= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{16-24} }{2}\\x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{-8} }{2}\\\\x=\frac{-4+-2\sqrt{2}i }{2}\\\\x={-2+-1\sqrt{2}i }\\\\

The answer is complex.

However, you can find the value of x easily by graphing. For example.

x^2+6x+5=0

Factor then you get

(x+5)(x+1)=0\\x=-5,-1

Or you can convert it to vertex form then graph.

y=x^2+6x+5

y=(x^2+6x+9)-9+5\\y=(x+3)^2-4

The vertex is at (-3,-4) then graph parabola (x-intercepts determine the roots of quadratic equation. For the graph, parabola intercepts x at (-5,0) and (-1,0) that means both -5 and -1 both are the value of x.

Note:

From the standard form, y=ax^2+bx+c The graph is called Parabola, and it's Quadratic Function.

a is how the graph is, for example. If a>0, the graph is supine parabola and if a<0 then the graph is inverted parabola.

|a| is determined if the graph is wide or narrow, the more the value of a is, the more narrow it will be. The less the value of a is, the more wide it will be.

b is what determined the change of graph (likely vertex). Without b, then it'd be ax^2+k which only move y-axis and not x-axis.

c is what determined the y-intercept and y-axis. If there is no b or the value of b is 0 then the vertex is at (0,c). If there is the value of b then c is only determined the y-intercept.

Suppose monthly rental prices for a one-bedroom apartment in a large city has a distribution that is skewed to the right with a
omeli [17]

Answer:

a) Nothing, beause the distribution of the monthly rental prices are not normal.

b) 1.43% probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

(a) Suppose a one-bedroom rental listing in this large city is selected at random. What can be said about the probability that the listed rent price will be at least $930?

Nothing, beause the distribution of the monthly rental prices are not normal.

(b) Suppose a random sample 30 one-bedroom rental listing in this large city will be selected, the rent price will be recorded for each listing, and the sample mean rent price will be computed. What can be said about the probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900?

Now we can apply the Central Limit Theorem.

\mu = 880, \sigma = 50, n = 30, s = \frac{50}{\sqrt{30}} = 9.1287

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 900.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{900 - 880}{9.1287}

Z = 2.19

Z = 2.19 has a pvalue of 0.9857

1 - 0.9857 = 0.0143

1.43% probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900
