Two sides of a triangle measure 14 inches and 8 inches. which cannot be the length of the remaining side?

1 answer:

3 0

1. The "triangle inequality" states that any of the sides of the triangle, is larger than the difference of the other 2 sides (the larger minus the smaller), and it is smaller than the sum of them.

2. So the third side of this triangle must be larger than 14-8=6 (in) and smaller than 14+8=22 (in)

3. So let a denote the remaining side, then 6 < a < 22, which means a can be any number in between 6 and 22 inches.

Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

D. F(x) = 1/(x +5)²

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptote at x=-5 tells you that x=-5 will be a zero of the denominator. The only equation with a denominator factor of (x+5) is ...

F(x) = 1/(x +5)²

_____

Additional comment

The fact that the value of F(x) does not change sign at the vertical asymptote tells you the denominator factor will be of even degree. That is taken for granted here, as all denominators are squares in the answer choices.
