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.

The equation of a parabola is y=x2+6x+9. Write the equation in vertex form.
nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is accomplished by completing the square on the quadratic. Do this by first setting the parabola equal to 0 then moving the constant over to the other side:

x^2+6x=-9

Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3, and 3 squared is 9:

x^2+6x+9=-9+9

The reason we do this is to create a perfect square binomial on the left:

(x+3)^2=0 (obviously the 0 results from the addition of 9 and -9). Move the 0 back over to the other side and set the quadratic back equal to y:

(x+3)^2+0=y

This gives you a vertex of (-3, 0), which is a minimum value, since the parabola opens upwards.

Statistic significance requires that your sample be representative of the population, but I'm struggling with this because if the class is an elective then the answer would be: <span>No, it is not a valid inference because she asked all 22 students in her science class instead of taking a sample of the students in her school.
BUT if the class is required, as most science classes are, then it WOULD be a random sample of the school. So the last option would be correct. 

My guess though is that the teacher is looking for answer B.
