sible. Contestants lose 33 points for each second they speak either over or under 55 minutes. Which expression below can be used to determine the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for xx seconds? Choose 1 answer: 3|x-300|

Solution:

Duration of time for which a contestant have to speak = 5 minutes (300 Seconds)

Point lost by a contestant for over-speaking that is for more than 5 minutes for each second = 3 points

Point lost by a contestant for speaking less than 5 minutes on each second = 3 points

So, the expression which can determine ,the number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds.

⇒Number of points a contestant loses if she speaks for x seconds=3 \times\left |x-300 \right |

For, example if a contestant speaks for 290 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |290-300 \right |=3 × 10= 30 Points

If a contestant speaks for 305 seconds,Points lost by contestant = 3 \times\left |305-300 \right |=3 × 5= 15 Points

Option (A)= 3 \times\left |x-300 \right | is right choice describing above situation.

<span>Given:
x       g(x)
−3      17
−1      −3
0        −4
2        13

The true statement for the given function is:
</span><span>The function is decreasing from x = −3 to x = −1.
</span><span>
As you can see, when x = -3 the corresponding value of the function is 17 but when x = -1 the corresponding value is -3. There is a decrease of 20. </span>→<span>  17 - 20 = -3

The base of an isosceles triangle is 9 and its perimeter 49. The base of a similar isosceles triangle is 14. What is the missing
ratelena [41]

Answer: 76.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimetar of isiscales triangle is calculated using  equation;

P=b+2a

b=9

P=49

lets find sides of triangle.

P-b=2a

a=(P-b)/2

a=49-9/2

a=40/2=20

If another triangle is similar that means that his base and sides are proportional to first triangle.

Base of first trianlge b₁=9

Base of similar triangle is b₂=14

use proportion to find out side of similar triangle:

b₁:b₂=9:14

a₁:a₂=9:14

a₁=20

20: a₂=9:14

a₂=14*20/9=280/9=31.1

Perimetar of second triangle is:

P₂=b₂+2a₂

P₂=14+2*31.1=14+62.2=76.2
