Sure.  We see all three right triangles are similar since each has corresponding congruent angles.  We can think of them as all having a common three way ratio:

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

In the smallest triangle the short leg is a+5 and the long leg is 12.

In the medium triangle the short leg is 12 and the long leg is 18

So the relevant ratio is

(a+5) / 12 = 12 / 18

a+5 = 12 × 2/3

a = 8 - 5

a = 3

Answer: A. 3

Make x the subject of the formula y= 2x +5
Kryger [21]

Answer:

x= (y-5)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the x variable.

y= 2x +5

Subtract 5 from both sides.

y-5=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

(y-5)/2= x

Use the given graph of f to estimate the intervals on which the derivative f ' is increasing or decreasing. (Enter your answers
NARA [144]

The derivative of a function is used to determine whether the function is increasing or decreasing on any intervals in its domain.

Derivative of function f is increasing in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6)

Derivative of function f is decreasing in interval (1 , 3) and (6 , 9)

If f′(x) > 0 at each point in an interval , then the function is said to be increasing in that interval.

If f′(x) < 0 at each point in an interval , then the function is said to be decreasing on that interval.

By observing graph, it is observed that slope  of function f is positive in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6) . Hence, derivative of  function f is increasing in interval  (-2 , 1) and (3 , 6)

By observing graph, it is observed that slope  of function f is negative in interval  (1 , 3) and (6 , 9) . Hence, derivative of  function f is decreasing in interval  (1 , 3) and (6 , 9).
