Answer:

5B^{2}  - 12B +10B - 24 = 0\\\\\   Base of triangle = 2.4 Feet and Height of triangle = 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by using formula to calculate area of triangle.

<u>Area of triangle = 1/2*(base*height)</u>

given

Let base of triangle B

height if triangle H

according to problem

The height of a triangle is 2 less than 5 times its base

mathematically it can be expressed as

H = 5*B - 2

Given area of triangle= 12 sq feet

Area of triangle = 1/2*(base*height)

=> 12 = 1/2* {B*(5*B-2)}

=> 24 = 5B^2 - 2B

5B^{2}  - 12B +10B - 24 = 0\\\\\   which is a  quadratic equation

It can be solved as given below

5B^{2}  +10B - 12B  - 24 = 0\\\\\=>5B(B +2) -12(B +2) = 0\\=> (5B - 12) (B +2) = 0\\5B - 12 = 0      or B + 2 = 0\\Hence B = 12/5 \  or  \ B = -2\\\\  

Since for side of triangle B cannot be negative number hence B= 12/5 = 2.4

Therefore height of triangle = 5*B - 2 = 5*2.4 - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10

Base of triangle = 2.4 Feet and Height of triangle = 10 feet.

Equation which models this situation is

5B^{2}  - 12B +10B - 24 = 0\\\\\

Which of the following correctly compares the uses of bar graphs versus pie charts? bar graphs show patterns in data with variab
saw5 [17]

Answer:

<h3><em>Bar graphs show data involved in distinct categories that do not overlap; whereas, pie charts show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).</em></h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

A bar graph, also called a bar chart, is used to present categorical variables, which involves rectangular bars with a correlation between a specific category and the frequency of them, this graphs can be also called histograms. It's used in statistics to describe a bunch a data, separating them in categories. This charts can be horizontal or vertical, and an important characteristics is that it's applied to represent discrete categories, that is, values expressed with whole numbers. (An example is attached).

On the other hand, pie charts, or circular charts, are used to indicate proportions from a whole part, like a pie or cake, you have a whole and 100% data and you divided into slices. For example, from the whole population in the U.S. we could divide it by ethnicity, parts from a whole, like show the image attached.

<h3>Therefore, based on each definition, the correct answer is:</h3>

<em>Bar graphs show data involved in distinct categories that do not overlap; whereas, pie charts show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).</em>

George cut a cake into eight pieces. Explain what the unit fraction of the cake is.​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

1/8th

Step-by-step explanation: A unit fraction is a rational number written as a fraction where the numerator is one and the denominator is a positive integer. A unit fraction is therefore the reciprocal of a positive integer, 1/n. Examples are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 ,1/5, etc. so in this case the cake is eight slices so 1/8

The geometric sequence graphed shows the number of mold spores in a Petri dish per day (please help!)
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

f(1) = 2

f(n) = 2 × f(n - 1) , n ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the point of coordinates (1 , 2) is on the graph

Then

f(1) = 2

…………………………

We notice that :

f(2) = 4

f(3) = 8

f(4) = 16

16/8 = 8/4 = 4/2 = 2/1 = 2

________________________

This means the common ratio

of the geo sequence = 2

Hence ,

f(n) = 2 × f(n - 1)

Sketch a graph that is discrete, has a maximum, does not pass through the origin, and is an absolute value function
Stella [2.4K]
Um.. I can't sketch a graph on here.
A discrete function can't be an absolute value function because an absolute value function is continuous. But, the function equation can be as simple as
f(x) = - | x + 1 |
Just don't connect the dots when you draw it and boom, you're done.
