What is the length of the equilateral triangle below?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kykrilka [37]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C. 5√3

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, we need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem, <em>a</em><em>²</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>²</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>²,</em><em> </em>where <em>c</em><em> </em>is the "HYPOTENUSE". In this case, <em>c</em><em> </em>is already found for us [10], so the operation we use whenever the hypotenuse is defined is deduction, or subtraction. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + 25 = 100; 75 = a². Now, to find <em>a</em><em>,</em><em> </em>we need to find two numbers that multiply to 75, where one of them is a PERFECT SQUARE, and in this case, they are 3 and 25. Since the square root of 25 is 5 [in this case, NO NON-NEGATIVE root], that gets moved to the outside of the radical, and 3 [NON-PERFECT SQUARE] stays wrapped under the radical, ending up with <em>5</em><em>√</em><em>3.</em><em> </em>You understand?

At which x value will f(x)=3x+3 exceed g(x)=3x+10
Anvisha [2.4K]
We write an inequality:

f(x) > g(x)

3^x + 3 > 3x + 10

3^x > 3x + 7

This equation cannot be solved using trivial methods found in high-school classes, so we resort to graphical examination.  3x+7 is a linear function while 3^x is an exponential one (with limit zero as x approaches - \infty).  We see that 3^x = 3x+7 at approximately x=2.4 and x=-2.3.

Indeed, using a computer algebra system such as the ones on modern TI calculators and on many internet sites gives equality at x=2.42, -2.31.  By observing our graph, we see that f(x) > g(x) when x > 2.42 or x < -2.31.

Which value is a solution to the inequality 5x – 1 ≤ –11?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

x≤-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality, we have to add 1 on each side:

5x-1≤11

  +1   +1

And then we get:

5x≤-10.

To find x, we have to divide each side by 5:

5x/5≤-10/5

After we do that, we get:

x≤-2.

All together, 3 people have 120 coins. mark has 3 times as many as joel, and joel has 1/2 as many as sandra. how many coins does
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Joel = j, Mark = m, Sandra = s
j + m + s = 120
m = 3j
j = 1/2 s --> s = 2j
plug in (substitute) each letter to make it in terms of only j: j + m + s = 120
j + 3j + 2j = 120
6j = 120
6j/6 = 120/6
j = 20
now plug in for the j & s equation:
s = 2j = 2(20) = 40
Therefore Sandra has 40 coins!

The value of the expression 16 -3/4 is ______.
Korvikt [17]
16-3/4=15 1/4

You can convert to fractions first, and then convert back to a mixed number like:

16/1-3/4  and when you add/subtract fractions you need a common denominator

64/4-3/4

61/4

15 1/4

Or you can convert your fraction to a decimal to get:

16-0.75

15.25
