Answer:

The length of each side of triangle are 19 ft, 24 ft and 38 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of second side be x.

Now given:

Length of first side is 2 times length of second side.

Length of first side = 2x

Also, Length of third side is 5 ft longer than the second side.

Length of third side = 5+x

Perimeter of triangle = 81 ft.

We need to find the length of each side.

Now perimeter of triangle is sum of all three sides of triangle.

Therefore;

Perimeter of triangle = Length of first side + length of second side + Length of third side.

$2x+x+5+x=81 ft\\4x+5=81ft\\4x= 81 -5 ft\\4x = 76ft\\x= \frac{76}{4} = 19 ft$

Length of Second Side = 19 ft.

Length of First side = $2x= 2\times19 = 38 ft$

Length of Third side = $5+x= 5+19=24ft$

Hence the Length of triangles are 19 ft,38 ft,24 ft.

Select each statement that is true for all polynomials

Sergio [31]

Answer: When two polynomials are multiplied, the product is always a

polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only true property for polynomials is the third options because when you do multiply polynomials, you can only get a polynomial.

For instance;

Multiply (5x – 6y) by (7x – 4y)

= (5x – 6y)(7x – 4y)

= 35x² - 20xy - 42xy + 24y²

= 35x² - 62xy + 24y²

The result is a polynomial.

The rest of the options will not always yield polynomials.

Rewrite x2 − 6x + 7 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Therefore values of a and b are

$a=3\ and\ b = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite $x^{2}-6x+7=0$ in the form

$(x-a)^{2}=b$

where a and b are integers,

To Find:

a = ?

b = ?

Solution:

$x^{2}-6x+7=0$ ..............Given

Which can be written as

$x^{2}-6x=-7$

$(\frac{1}{2} coefficient\ of\ x)^{2}=(\frac{1}{2}\times -6)^{2}=9$

Adding half coefficient of X square on both the side we get

$x^{2}-6x+9=-7+9=2$ ...................( 1 )

By identity we have (A - B)² =A² - 2AB + B²

Therefore,

$x^{2}-6x+9=x^{2}-2\times 3\times x+3^{2}=(x-3)^{2}$

Substituting in equation 1 we get

$(x-3)^{2}=2$

Which is in the form of

$(x-a)^{2}=b$

On comparing we get

a = 3 and b = 2

Therefore values of a and b are

$a=3\ and\ b = 2$

Answer:

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 67.4\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached plot

Required

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown)

This is calculated as:

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = \frac{P(Ice\ Cream\ n\ Frogtown)}{P(Frogtown)}$

From the attachment;

$P(Ice\ Cream\ n\ Frogtown) = 0.31$

$P(Frogtown) = 0.31 + 0.15 = 0.46$

So, we have:

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = \frac{P(Ice\ Cream\ n\ Frogtown)}{P(Frogtown)}$

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = \frac{0.31}{0.46}$

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 0.6739$

Express as percentage

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 0.6739 * 100\%$

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 67.39\%$

$P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 67.4\%$ -- approximated

F(x)=3x+4. Determine the value of F (X) when X equals -1

hammer [34]

ANSWER

The value of this function at x=-1 is 1

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$f(x) = 3x + 4$

We want to find the value of this function at x=-1.

We substitute x=-1 into the function to obtain:

$f( - 1) = 3( - 1)+ 4$

We multiply out to obtain:

$f( - 1) = - 3+ 4$

$f( - 1) = 1$

Therefore the value of this function at x=-1 is 1.
