x = 10

since GI bisects ∠DGH then ∠DGI = ∠IGH, hence

2x - 13 = x - 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 13 = - 3 ( add 13 to both sides )

x = 10

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that bisect in math means that something is cut in exactly two halfs, this means that both resultant segments will be equal so we can equalize them into an equation:

DGI=IGH

x-3=2x-13

No we just clear X to solve the equation:

2x-x=-3+13

x=10

So the value of X will be 10

Part C:

y = total cost

M = minutes

You can talk on the phone only 100 minutes per month

Company A:

y = 0.04M + 5

y = 0.04(100) + 5

y = 4 + 5

y = 9 $9 per month

Company B:

y = 0.10M + 2

y = 0.10(100) + 2

y = 10 + 2

y = 12 $12 per month

Company A offers the best deal because at Company A you have to pay $9 for 100 minutes per month, and at Company B you have to pay $12 for 100 minutes per month, so you have to pay $3 less.

Part D:

1.) With a budget of $30, Company A would allow me to talk longer on the phone. I know this because for Company A, you pay $3 less per month for the same amount of minutes as Company B. This means that I will save more money with Company A, and I can buy more minutes. (something like this)

Find the area of an isosceles triangle with perimeter of 40 feet and a base of 12 feet. Round to the nearest whole number.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 76 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 side length +base length

40 = 2s +12

Solving for s:

40-12 =2s

28 =2s

28/2=s

14ft =side

Since the line which bisects and isosceles triangles is at a right angle to the base we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height (see attachment)

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case 14) and a and b are the other sides. (Base divided by 2 is one side, the other side is the height)

Replacing with the values given:

14^2= 6^2 + x^2

196 = 36 + x^2

196-36 = x^2

160 = x^2

√160 = x

x = 12.64 (height)

Area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 x base x height

A = 1/2 x 12 x 12.64 = 76 ft2

A function is represented by the graph.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of the function y when the value of x is equal to zero

Part 1) we have

$y=5x-6$

For x=0

substitute in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=5(0)-6$

$y=-6$

therefore

The y-intercept is the point (0,-6)

Part 2) Find the y-intercept of the function represented in the graph

Looking at the graph

For x=0

Find the value of y in the graph

The value of y is equal to y=1

therefore

The y-intercept is the point (0,1)
