Answer:

The third side must be 10: {3, 10, 10}; {10, 3, 3} is not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything depends on our understanding of "isosceles."

This term indicates that two sides of a given triangle are equal.

If two sides of an isosceles triangle have lengths of 3 and 10, then:

Either 1) Two sides have length 10 and the third side has length 3. This is certainly possible

2) sides have length 3 and the third side has length 10. This is NOT possible, since 3 + 3 adds up to 6, which is less than 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial image of the photo is 2 in by 4 in. The mat is 4 in by 6 in.

The new image is dilated by a scale of 2. So we double the dimensions. The new photo is 4 in by 8 in. The new mat is 8 in by 12 in.

Review the attachments. Review the process of solving an equation and fill in the blanks.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

1) Combine like terms

2) $\sqrt[3]{x} =3$

3) cube both sides of the equation

4) $4\sqrt[3]{27} +8\sqrt[3]{27}=36$

5) 4(3) + 8(3) = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Combine like terms

2) $\sqrt[3]{x} =3$

3) cube both sides of the equation

4) $4\sqrt[3]{27} +8\sqrt[3]{27}=36$

5) 4(3) + 8(3) = 36

For the function f(x) = 7/2x-16, what is the difference quotient for all nonzero values of h?

sergey [27]

Answer:

$\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16$

Required

The difference quotient for h

The difference quotient is calculated as:

$\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}$

Calculate f(x + h)

$f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16$

$f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}(x+h) - 16$

$f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16$

The numerator of $\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}$ is:

$f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -(\frac{7}{2}x - 16)$

$f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -\frac{7}{2}x + 16$

Collect like terms

$f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}h- 16 + 16$

$f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}h$

So, we have:

$\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h \div h$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h * \frac{1}{h}$

$\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}$

Answer:

A. 600

B. 565.2

C. 8000

D. 8125.376

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding up from 500 is 600 (Nearest HUNDRED)

Rounded up from 565.234 is 565.2 (NEAREST TENTH)

Rounded down from 8125.3758 is 8000 (NEAREST THOUGHAND)

Rounded up from 8125.3758 is 8125.376 (NEAREST THOUSANDTH)
