Answer:

D. 12

Step-by-step explanation

You know this is an isoceles triangle because the two base angles on congruent. That means the two sides are equal. So, 3x = x+8. If you plug in each of the answer choices, you'll notice that 4 fits the equation. If 4 equals x, 4 times 3 equals 12 and on the other side, 4+8 also equals 12. Therefore, to find the length of MN, you would just need to do 4+8 which equals 12

Answer:the length of segment MN is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

because the angles at the bottom of each segment are equal, the length of each segment is equal as well, so set you equation as 3x=x+8, subtract x from 3x then divide 8 by 2 which equals 4. (x=4) then plug in the value of x into x+8 and you have 12

Which is the graph of the function f(x)= negative square root x

Vsevolod [243]

First, note that $\sqrt{x}$ is always positive (except for x=0), so $-\sqrt{x}$ must be always negative.

Thus, the only plausible graphs are 1 and 3 since they are below the x-axis.

Now, $\sqrt{x}$ and $-\sqrt{x}$ are only defined for x≥0, because only for these x'es we can take the square root.

Note that the third graph has domain (-infinity, 0], so it is not the right one, while 1 is ok.

Answer: first graph

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ DCE = ∠ ACE ( vertically opposite angles )

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

∠ DCE = 180° - (100 +x) = 180 - 100 - x = 80 - x

∠ ACE = 180 - (49 + 4x) = 180 - 49 - 4x = 131 - 4x

Equating the 2 angles

80 - x = 131 - 4x ( add 4x to both sides )

80 + 3x = 131 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

3x = 51 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 17

George wants to know if two pieces of wire are the same length. one wire is 6/8 yard. the other is 3/4 yard. draw a number Line

wlad13 [49]

They are the same length. You need to find the common denominator (8) and multiply both the numerator and denominator on 3/4 to ger 6/8. Than, just draw a numberline comparing the lengths! Hope this helped
