Answer:

<em>The length of the longest side is 18 m.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length of the second side.

Then the length of the first side is x - 9.

The length of the third side is 3(x - 9).

Add the three lengths and set equal to the perimeter.

x + x - 9 + 3(x - 9) = 39

2x - 9 + 3x - 27 = 39

5x - 36 = 39

5x = 75

x = 15   (second side)

x - 9 = 15 - 9 = 6  (first side)

3(x - 9) = 3(15 - 9) = 3(6) = 18   (third side)

Answer:

Longest side is 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1st side : x -9

3rd : 3(x-9)

If perimeter is 39, then, x + (x-9) + 3(x-9) = 39

5x -36 = 39

5x = 75

x = 15

Therefore,

1st side = 6

2nd side = 15

3rd side = 18

If m(x) =x+5/x-1 and n(x) =x-3 which function has the same domain as (m.n)(x)
Travka [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m (x) = (x+ 5) / (x -1)        and     n(x) = x - 3.

m(x) = \dfrac{x+5}{x-1}

Hence

m(n) = \dfrac{n+5}{n-1}

but n is a function and n = x-3. Now, replace value of n on m (n)

(m(n))= \dfrac{(x-3)+5}{(x-3)-1}

simplify it

(m\bullet n)(x) =\dfrac{x+2}{x-4}\\

since (m . n) (x)  is a fraction function, its domain will be all x such that the denominator is NOT 0. That is

x-4\ne 0\rightarrow x\ne 4

among options, only C has the same denominator with (m\bullet n)(x)

Hence their domains are the same.

I need help please, i dont understand
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

  (a)  none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest exponent in the function shown is 2. That makes it a 2nd-degree function, also called a quadratic function. The graph of such a function is a parabola -- a U-shaped curve.

The coefficient of the highest-degree term is the "leading coefficient." In this case, that is the coefficient of the x² term, which is 1. When the leading coefficient of an even-degree function is positive, the U curve has its open end at the top of the graph. We say it "opens upward." (When the leading coefficient is negative, the curve opens downward.)

This means the bottom of the U is the minimum value the function has. For a quadratic in the form ax²+bx+c, the horizontal location of the minimum on the graph is at x=-b/(2a). This extreme point on the curve is called the "vertex."

This function has a=1, b=1, and c=3. The minimum of the function is where ...

  x = -b/(2·a) = -1/(2·1) = -1/2

This value is not listed among the answer choices, so the correct choice for this function is ...

  none of the above

__

The attached graph of the function confirms that the minimum is located at x=-1/2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you're studying quadratic functions, there are few formulas that you might want to keep handy. The formula for the location of the vertex is one of them.
