Answer: The height is: 10.61 units.
{or, write as: "(7.5 √2) units"}.
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Area of a triangle: A = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * b * h ;

Given: b = 1.5 * h ;
A = 75 units²
______________________________
Solve for "h" ("height") ; h = 1.5 b ;
_________________________________
So, we solve for "b" ; then we plug that value into the equation:

→ h = 1.5 b ; to get the height, "h" ;
______________________________________________________
→ 75 = 1/2 * (b) (1.5 b) ;
______________________________________________________
Multiply the ENTIRE equation by "2" ;
to get rid of the fraction and decimals ;
______________________________________________________
→ 2 * { 75 = 1/2 * (b) (1.5 b) } ;
______________________________________________________
→ 150 = b * 3b ;
______________________________________________________
→ 150 = 3 b² ;

↔ 3 b² = 150 ;
______________________________________________________

Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
_________________________________________________
→ 3 b² / 3 = 150 / 3 ;
_________________________________________________
→ b² = 50 ;
_________________________________________________
Now, take the POSITIVE square root of each side of the equation;
to isolate "b" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b" ;
_________________________________________________
   → √(b²) =  √50
<span>_________________________________________________
</span>   → b =  √50
_________________________________________________
→ √50 = √25 *√2 = 5√2

h = (1.5) b = (1.5) *(5) (

→    h = 1.5 * 5 * √2 ;
_________________________________________________
→ h = (7.5 √2) units ;

or, (7.5) * (√2) = 10.6066017177982129 units ;
_______________________________________________________
  → round to 10.61 units .

For f(X)=2x+1 and g(X)=x^2,find (f-g)(X)

Bezzdna [24]

The answer for f(x)-g(x) is $-x^2+2x+1$ .The solution can be obtained by use of concept of functions.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function, in mathematics, can be defined as an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).It useful in mathematical representation of scientific quantities.

We can perform addition and subtraction operations on functions.

The given function f(x) and g(x) are

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

The solution for f(x)-g(x) is $-x^2+2x+1$ .

REY [17]

After a thorough search, I found the same question on the internet. Please refer to the attached picture. If it's the same one with yours, then the answer is letter C - The constant 10 refers to the cost of setting up the food stall even if no cheeseburger was sold.

It is like a fixed cost that is incurred by the food stall that they need to pay for not considering the sales or income they would earn.
