Answer: 6units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a regular polygon, and it has 3 equal sides it means the polygon is a quadrilateral.

From the diagram,

5 - 2x = -4x + 9 ( side of quadrilateral )

Solving for x in the equation

-2x + 4x = 9 - 5 ( collection of like terms in simple linear equation )

2x = 4

Divide through by the coefficient of x which is 2

x = 2.

Therefore, the perimeter of the polygon which equals to the total length of the polygon is

Perimeter = 2 + 2 + 2

= 6units

Serggg [28]

Answer:

  $1,630.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of an amount earning interest continuously compounded is given by the formula ...

  A = Pe^(rt)

The value of P can be found by dividing by its coefficient:

  P = A/(e^(rt)) = Ae^(-rt)

  P = $1700·e^(-0.014·3) ≈ 1630.0786

Terry placed $1,630.08 in the account.

Find the minimum/maximum of y=2x^2+12x-22
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The minimum value of this function is -40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the minimum of a quadratic whose graph is a parabola that opens up, as this one does, is the vertex of the graph.  The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by x = -b / (2a), where a is the coefficient of the x^2 term and b is that of the x term.

Here, x = -12 / (2*2), or x = -12/4, or x = -3.

Find the y-value at this x-value:  f(-3) = 2(-3)^2 + 12(-3) - 22, or

                                                      f(-3) = 2(9) - 36 - 22, or -40.

The vertex is at (-3, -40).  The minimum value of this function is -40.
