Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

(D) 3, 3, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality says the sum of the shortest two legs must be longer than the longest. In the case of {3, 3, 6}, the sum is exactly equal to the longest, so the "triangle" will look like a line segment and have zero height and zero area,

Some authors describing the triangle inequality find that to be an acceptable condition. Apparently the author of this question does not.

Is the point (1, -3) a solution to the system? Show all work

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The point P(1,-3) is not a solution to the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $\left \{ {{y-x+2}} \right.$

Let a point be P(1,-3)

Here x = 1 ; y = -3

Substituting the values of x,y in the function

$\left \{ {{y-x+2}} \right.$

For y<x-1

-3 < 1-1

-3<0 (True)

now for,

y>-x+2

-3 > -1 + 2

-3 > 1 (False)

Hence the point is not a solution to the system.
