Can the sides of a triangle be in the given ratio? 3:4:5

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if a triple of values will form a triangle, we must apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that for a triangle with lengths a, b, and c:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Here, let's suppose that since the ratio of the sides is 3 : 4 : 5, then let the actual side lengths be 3x, 4x, and 5x, where x is simply a real value.

With loss of generality, set a = 3x, b = 4x, and c = 5x. Plug these into the Triangle Inequality to check:

a + b > c  ⇒  3x + 4x  >?  5x  ⇒  7x > 5x  ⇒  This is true

a + c > b  ⇒  3x + 5x  >?  4x  ⇒  8x > 4x  ⇒  This is also true

b + c > a  ⇒  4x + 5x  >?  3x  ⇒  9x > 3x  ⇒  This is true

Since all three conditions are satisfied, we know that a true triangle can be formed given that the ratio of their sides is 3 : 4 : 5.

Answer:

w ≤ -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first point is on -2 and is going down the number line so w is less than -2 but since there is a closed circle, it would be w is less than or equal to -2 or w ≤ -2

Which graph would help you find the solutions of 2 – x2 = –x?
Lelechka [254]

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic graph will surely help you find the solutions

X2-x-2=0

x1=2 x2= -1

Substitute each of the x value in the original equation to get the y value

(2)^2-(2)-2= 0 (2,0)

(-1)^2-(-1)-2=-2 (-1,-2)

plot the coordinates on the graph,the graph should be a curve

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = 5xl when f(x) is changed to f(x – 5)?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

A change to the inside of the function notation is always a left/right or horizontal change to the graph.

Answer: A

Subtracting 5 actually shifts the graph to the right by 5 units.  It's counter-intuitive and there are many ways to explain why it's the opposite of what you think it'd do, but it is a shift to the right by 5 units.

PS

A change outside the f(x) notation is an up/down or vertical change to the graph.
