Identify the type of triangle that can be drawn using the measures of sides 13.5 cm, 5 cm, and 9.5 cm.

KIM [24]

Answer: Scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A Scalene triangle has all of its three lengths to be different. The traingle above can not be an equilateral triangle too because all the sides aren't equal.

Also, it's not an isosceles triangle since two of its sides are not thesame. It's not a right angle triangle as the square of the hypothenuse isn't equal to the addition of the square of the other two sides.

The function y = -3x + 5 is transformed by reflecting it over the y axis. What is the equation of the new function? *

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x= −1/3 y+5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x.

y=−3x+5

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−3x+5=y

Step 2: Add -5 to both sides.

−3x+5+−5=y+−5

−3x=y−5

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

y−5

Prove the polynomial identity.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Proven

Step-by-step explanation:

We prove the polynomial with factorization. We must first simplify the expression before we can factorize:

$(4\cdot{x^2}-2)\cdot{(4\cdot{x^2}-2)}-16\cdot{x^4}$

$16\cdot{x^4}-8\cdot{x^2}-8\cdot{x^2}+4-16\cdot{x^4}$

$4-16\cdot{x^2}$

4 is the common number and we can take it out of the expression:

$4\cdot{(1-4\cdot{x^2})}$

We can factorize further with the x term being zero. For this to be true we must have -2x and 2x to cancel out and therefore the expression is proven:

$4\cdot{(1-2\cdot{x})}\cdot{(1+2\cdot{x})}$
