We need to figure out how much string would be left, after taking away the first two pieces.
We know that the first piece is 20 inches long, so we can say that there is 52-20 inches left, or 32 inches.

The second piece is between 12 and 18 inches, meaning that there would be between 32-12 and 32-18 inches left for the third piece, or 20 and 14 inches. This means that the third piece would be at least 14 inches long, but no more than 20, since we don’t have more string than that (20+12+20=52, and 20+14+18=52)

So we can say that x is greater or equal to 14, but less than or equal to 20, or:

14<=x<=20 (“<=“ is written like a normal “<“ sign with a line _ right under it)

Answer:

Only C is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

To test whether a graph is a function you use the vertical line test.

If you can place a vertical line anywhere on the plane (in the domain of the "function" to be tested) and it intersects the curve at more than one point, the curve is not a function.

We see with A, wherever we put the vertical line it intersects twice.

With B, it intersects infinitely many times.

C is a function because wherever we put the vertical line, it only intersects once.

D is a function because it intersects twice providing we do not put it on the "tip" of the parabola.

The mathematical reasoning behind this is that a function must be well-defined, that is it must send every x-value to one specific y-value. There can be no confusion about where the function's input is going. If you look at graph B and I ask you what is f(3)? Is it 1? 2? 3? ... Who knows, it's not well-defined and so it's not a function. However if I ask you about C, whichever input value for x I give you, you can tell me to which y-value it gets mapped/sent to.

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. W
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A)segment A"B"= AB / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. Which equation explains the relationship between segment AB and segment A"B"?

coordinate plane with triangle ABC at A(-3, 3), B(1, -3), and C(-3, -3)

A)segment A"B"= AB / 2

B)segment AB = segment A"B"/ 2

C)segment AB / segment A"B"= 1/2

D)segment A"B" / segment AB = 2

A"B" = AB / 2

Because

1. translations do not change the lengths of segments, so (x+2, y+0) preserves the length of AB, i.e. mA'B' = mAB

2. Dilation causes the new segment to be transformed to a new length according to the old length * the scale factor of (1/2).

Therefore A"B" = (1/2)AB, or AB/2.
