<h3>Answer: 17</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

This is a piecewise function. It's composed of 3 pieces of other functions. A piecewise function is a function that changes its identity based on what the input is.

We have three different situations here

If t = 17, then h(t) = sqrt(17t) based on what the first row says
If t = 19, then h(t) = -34/t which is the second row of the piecewise function.
If t does not equal either 17 or 19 (ie t is anything but those values), then h(t) = 23-t

The notation h(17) means we want to evaluate h(t) when t = 17. So we'll use the first case mentioned above. Plug t = 17 into h(t) = sqrt(17t) to get...

h(t) = sqrt(17t)

h(17) = sqrt(17*17)

h(17) = sqrt(17^2)

h(17) = 17

In the last step, I used the rule that sqrt(x^2) = x when x is nonnegative.

Factor the polynomial F(x) =x^3-x^2-4x+4 completely.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PART 1:

Possible roots by noticing the coefficient of first term:

x = 1, -1

PART 2:

1 | 1 -1 -4 4

1 0 -4 0

The remainder is zero, hence one factor is (x-1)

PART 3:

$x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)$

PART 4:

$f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)\\\\=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\=x^3-4x-x^2+4\\\\=x^3-x^2-4x+4$

One mirror is to be in the shape of a triangle whose height is 6 feet less than twice the base of the mirror. If the mirror has

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Base of the mirror is 12 feet and height of the mirror is 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of the triangular mirror = 108 sq ft.

Let base (b) of the mirror be x.

Now given:

height is 6 feet less than twice the base of the mirror

So we can say that;

Height (h) = $2x-6$

We need to find the base and height of the mirror.

Solution:

Now we know that mirror is in triangular shape so we will apply area of triangle formula to find base and height.

Now Area of triangle is half times base times height.

framing in equation form we get;

$108=\frac{1}{2} \times x \times(2x-6)\\\\108=\frac{1}{2}\times x \times 2(x-3)\\\\108=x(x-3)\\\\108=x^2-3x\\\\x^2-3x-108=0$

Now we will find the roots of x by factorizing the equation we get;

$x^2-12x+9x-108=0\\\\x(x-12)+9(x-12)=0\\\\(x-12)(x+9)=0$

Now we will solve for 2 values of x we get;

$x-12=0\\\\x=12\ ft\\\\Also;\\\\x+9=0\\\\x=-9\ ft$

Now we get 2 values of 'x' one positive and one negative.

Since x is base of the triangle which cannot be negative.

so we will discard the negative value.

Hence;

base of triangle = 12 ft

Height of the triangle = $2x-6=2\times12-6 =24-6 =18\ ft$

Hence Base of the mirror is 12 feet and height of the mirror is 18 feet.

There are 60 feet between the bases on a softball diamond. How far does a catcher throw drone home plate to second base

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $12\sqrt{5}$

Required theorem:

Pythagorean theorem = $a^2 + b^2=c^2$

In other words, one side length squared + another side length squared = the middle lined squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

$60^2+60^2 = c^2\\\\360+360=c^2\\\\720=c^2\\\\\ \sqrt{c^2} =\sqrt{720}\\\\c=+/- 12\sqrt{5}$

We can only have a positive distance so your final answer is :

$12\sqrt{5}$

What is the value of the expression 5/6 divided by 1/8

anzhelika [568]

5 $5/6 / 1/8 = 5/6 x 8/1
$

5 x 8 = 40
6 x 1 = 6

40 / 6 = 6 $4/6$ = 6 2/3

(hope I'm right & this helps you!)
