Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

Consider the function g(x) = -3x - 4 if the domain value is selected from the set {-8, -2, 0, 3}, which of the following is a co
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

C. -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for g(x) by replacing x with each domain value in the set. Solving for g(x) will give you these numbers:

{20, 2, -4, -13}

-13 is the only value that appears in the range set and in the multiple choice solutions. Therefore, the answer is C. -13

The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is .18. What is the probability that a stu
devlian [24]

Answer:  0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that :

For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-

P(not A)= 1- P(A)

Given : The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is P( psychology major) =0.18.

Then, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major will be :

P(not psychology major)= 1 - P(psychology major)

= 1-0.18=0.82

Hence, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major= 0.82

Which ordered pair would form a proportional relationship with the point graphed below? (60,-20)
valentina_108 [34]

Given:

The graphed point is (60,-20).

To find:

The ordered pair that would form a proportional relationship with the given point.

Solution:

If y is proportional to x, then

y\propto x

y=kx

\dfrac{y}{x}=k

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

For the given point,

k=\dfrac{-20}{60}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (A),

k=\dfrac{30}{-10}

k=-3\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (B),

k=\dfrac{-15}{30}

k=-\dfrac{1}{2}\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (C),

k=\dfrac{10}{-30}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}.

The point (-30,10) gives the same value of the constant of proportionality. So, the point (-30,10) forms a proportional relationship with the given point.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
