Answer:

A. 5,8,12, side lengths can form a triangle.

B. 20, 18, 2, side lengths can not form a triangle.

C. 15, 26 , 9, side lengths can not form a triangle.

D. 4.75, 12.25, 16.25, side lengths can form a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given three sides in options A, B , C and D.

We need to check if the given sides would form a triangle or not.

Note: Sum of two sides is always greater than third sides in a triangle.

So, we need to check the sum of two sides of given sides length to check if sum is greater than third side length.

A. 5,8,12.

5+8 is greater than 12.

5+12 is greater than 8.

12+8 is greater than 5.

Therefore A. 5,8,12, side lengths can form a triangle.

B. 20, 18, 2

18+2 is not greater than 20.

Therefore B. 20, 18, 2, side lengths can not form a triangle.

C. 15, 26 , 9

15+9 is less than 26.

Therefore C. 15, 26 , 9, side lengths can not form a triangle.

D. 4.75, 12.25, 16.25.

4.75+12.25 is greater than 16.25.

4.75+16.25 is greater than 12.25.

12.25+16.25 is greater than 4.75.

Therefore D. 4.75, 12.25, 16.25, side lengths can form a triangle.

The equation of a line is y=-2x+1. What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through (2,2)?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form is y=-2x+6.

The equation in standard form is 2x+y=6.

The equation in point-slope form is y-2=-2(x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines will have the same slope and different y-intercept.

Anyways the slope of y=-2x+1 is -2.

So the equation of our line we are looking for is -2.

So we know our equation is in the form y=-2x+b.

We must inf b using y=-2x+b with (x,y)=(2,2).

y=-2x +b with (x,y)=(2,2)

2=-2(2)+b

2=-4+b

Add 4 on both sides:

2+4=b

Simplify:

6=b

The equation is y=-2x+6.

Now it didn't say what form it wanted.

There are some forms I can give you like standard and point-slope form.

There is also general form but it is not too much different from standard form.

Standard form is ax+by=c where a,b, and c are integers if possible.

Point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

So let's go for standard form (ax+by=c) first:

y=-2x+6

add 2x on both sides:

2x+y=6

This is standard form because it is in the form

ax+by=c.

Ok we know point (2,2) is on our line and we also know we have slope,m, is -2.

Point-slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=-2(x-2)

Three Texas drovers met on a highway and began to dicker as follows:

Alik [6]

Answer:

Jim's: 7
Duke's: 21
Hank's: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J, D, and H represent the drove sizes of Jim, Duke, and Hank.

2(H -6 + 1) = (J +6 -1) . . . . . Hank's offer

3(D -14 +1) = (H +14 -1) . . . . Duke's offer

6(J -4 +1) = (D +4 -1) . . . . . . Jim's offer

These equations can be simplified to ...

2H - J = 15

3D - H = 52

6J - D = 21

<u>Solution</u>

Adding twice the second equation to the first gives ...

2(3D -H) +(2H -J) = 2(52) +(15)

6D -J = 119

Adding 6 times the third equation to this one gives ...

6(6J -D) +(6D -J) = 6(21) +(119)

35J = 245

J = 7

Using this value in the third equation gives ...

6(7) -D = 21

42 -21 = D = 21

Using the value of J in the first equation gives ...

2H -7 = 15

H = (15 +7)/2 = 11

Then the solution is (J, D, H) = (7, 21, 11).

Jim's drove had 7 animals; Duke's drove had 21 animals; Hank's drove had 11 animals.

A transformer increases the input voltage from 12V to 12,000V. What is the ratio of the number of wire turns on the primary coil

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$\frac{n_p}{n_s}=\frac{1}{1000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given voltage of primary coil is $V_p=12V$

And voltage of secondary coil is $V_s=12,000V$

A transformer is a device that contains primary and secondary coil. These coils are mounted on soft iron. The change in voltage depends upon the number of turns of primary coil $(n_p)$ and secondary coil $(n_s)$ .

Following equation represents the relation between them.

$\frac{V_s}{V_p} =\frac{n_s}{n_p}\\\\\frac{12,000}{12}=\frac{n_s}{n_p}\\\\1000=\frac{n_s}{n_p}$

Then, ratio of the number of wire turns on the primary coil to the number of turns on the secondary coil is

$\frac{n_p}{n_s}=\frac{1}{1000}$
