Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y = 2x + 5, let's rewrite the equation in terms of x;

y = 2x + 5 => Bring 5 to the other side

2x = y - 5 => Divide either side by 2

x = (y - 5)/2

If we want to take the inverse, simply swap the variable's positions...

We have y = (x - 5)/2

Now let's determine f^-1(8), substituting for "y" provided y is our inverse, f^-1

f^-1(8) = (8 - 5)/2 = 3/2

Solution: 3/2

Part B if the height of each prism is 10 Cm what is the surface area prism

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Prism A:

$Area = 288cm^2$

Prism B:

$Area =250cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for prisms

$Height(h) = 10cm$

Required

Determine the surface area of both prisms

Prism A is triangular and as such, the surface area is:

$Area = 2 * A_b + (a + b + c) * h$

Where

$A_b = \sqrt{s * (s - a) * (s -b) * (s - c)}$

and

$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$

Such that a, b and c are the lengths of the triangular sides of the prism.

From the attachment;

$a = 8; b =6; c =10$

So, we have:

$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$

$s = \frac{8 + 6 + 10}{2}$

$s = \frac{24}{2}$

$s = 12$

Also:

$A_b = \sqrt{s * (s - a) * (s -b) * (s - c)}$

$A_b = \sqrt{12 * (12 - 8) * (12 - 6) * (12 - 10)}$

$A_b = \sqrt{576}$

$A_b = 24$

So:

$Area = 2 * A_b + (a + b + c) * h$

$Area = 2 * 24 + (8 + 6 + 10) * 10$

$Area = 288cm^2$

Prism B is a rectangular prism. So, the area is calculated as:

$Area = 2 * (ab + bh + ah)$

From the attachment

$a = b = 5$

$h =10$

So:

$Area =2 * (5 * 5 + 5 * 10 + 5 * 10)$

$Area =250cm^2$

Triangle ABC is an oblique triangle. If angle A equals 57°, angle B equals 73°, and AB equals 24 in, what is the length of AC?

natulia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge{\underbrace{\overbrace{\mathfrak{\pink{Answer:}}}}}$

Angle C must = [180 - 73 - 57 ] = [180 - 130] = 50°

And using rhw Law if Sines, we have.....

AB/sin C = AC/sin B → 24/sin(50) = AC/sin(73) → AC = 24*sin(73)/sin(50) = about 29.96 in

20 pts, try to find short story and novel pages, A novel has 13 times as many pages as a short story. The combined number of pag

brilliants [131]

Answer:

short story has 32 pgs

novel has 416 pgs

Step-by-step explanation:

a novel (N) has 13 times as many pages as a short story (x) so, N = 13X

total pages is the equation N + x = 448

plug the equation for N into this

13x + x = 448, combine like terms

14x = 448, divide both sides by 14

x = 32. so now we know that the short story has 32 pages. subtract that from 448. and the novel has 416 pages.
