lapo4ka [179]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The smallest side is 7inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter side be y.

The medium side is 4 more than the short side i.e

Meduim side = 4 + y

The longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side i.e

Logest side = 5y.

Perimeter of the triangle = 53 inches

But the perimeter of a triangle is the Sum of all sides i.e

P = small + medium + large

53 = y + (4+y) + 5y

53 = y + 4 + y + 5y

Collect like terms

53 — 4 = 7y

49 = 7y

Divide both side by 7

y = 49/7

y = 7inches

Therefore the smallest side is 7inches

State the horizontal asymptote of the rational function. For full credit, explain the reasoning you used to find the horizontal
Rzqust [24]

So here are the rules of horizontal asymptotes:

  • Degree of Numerator > Degree of Denominator: No horizontal asymptote
  • Degree of Numerator = Degree of Denominator: y=\frac{\textsf{leading coefficient of numerator}}{\textsf{leading coefficient of denominator}}
  • Degree of Numerator < Degree of Denominator: y = 0

Looking at the rational function, since the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1 (and 2 > 1), this means that <u>this function has no horizontal asymptote.</u>

Solve for the value of x: 3x + 25 = 2/3 (6x - 15)​
n200080 [17]

3x + 25 = 2/3 (6x - 15)

9x + 75 = 12x - 30

75 + 30 = 12x - 9x

3x = 105

x = 105 : 3

x = 35
