Answer:

A) 2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the measure of any two sides of a triangle MUST be larger than the measure of the third side.  In this case, with sides 3cm and 5cm, the third side would have to be at least 3cm in order for the smallest two sides to be larger than the third side:

3cm + 3cm = 6 cm > 5cm

However, if the third side was only 2cm, then the two smaller sides would be 5cm, which is only equal to and not larger than the third side:

3cm + 2cm = 5cm

Any other measurements larger than 3cm, when added to the given side of 3cm, would be larger than 5cm and would form a triangle.  So, the only measure that would NOT form a triangle would be 2cm.

Write the expression that appears under the radical symbol in the quadratic formula. what is the quality called? what can it be
ira [324]
This expression is called the Discriminant, also shown as Δ.
It is equal to b² - 4ac. This is a very important part of the quadratic formula as it determines whether x will have two values, one repeated value or no real values. Here are a few examples.

a) x² - 2x - 1. a is equal to 1 since 1x² = x². b = -2, c = -1
The discriminant will be (-2)² - 4×1×-1 = 4 + 4 = 8.
Since Δ > 0, there are two x values. Graphed, the parabola sinks below the x axis.

b) x². a = 1, b = 0 (0x = 0), c = 0
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×0 = 0 - 0 = 0.
Since Δ = 0, there is only one x value. Graphed, the parabola touches the x axis at only one point.

c) x² + 1. a = 1, c = 1.
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×1 = 0 - 4 = -4
Since Δ < 0, there are no real x values. Graphed, the parabola floats above the x axis.

Hope this helps!

A line passes through (−1, 7) and (2, 10). which answer is the equation of the line?
mart [117]
First you need to find the slope of the line. So what you need to do is y^2-y^1 / x^2-x^1

(x^1, y^1) (x^2, y^2)
( -1, 7) ( 2, 10)

10-7/ 2- (-1)
3/3=1
slope is 1

I got 8 as the y intercept. Reason how is that I made a table. And what I did was go back instead of going forward.

x y
-1 7
0 8
1 9
2 10

The answer would be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8 But the answer choice you listed for A. would not match up the 2 coordinate you gave. Make sure a. should be x= 1 y= x + 8 y=8, not -x y= 8-x y=8
