Can segments with lengths of 15, 20, and 36 form a triangle?

1 answer:

5 0

Ok, so remember

the legnth of the longest side must be LESS THAN the sum of the measures of the other 2 sides
if no longest side (becasue it has 2 longest sides or 3 equal sides), then it can form a triangle

so the longest side is 36

36 must be less than the sum of 15 and 20
36<15+20
36<35
false

therfor it cannot form a triangle
try it yourself, you cannot connect them that way

(6y^2-7y-3)-(2y^2-9y-7) simplify

madreJ [45]

6y^2-7y-3-2y^2+9y+7 (pretend that you're multiplying -1 to 2y^2-9y-7 which is why 9y and 7 are positive now).
Now you're able to simplify your problem, so...

6y^2-2y^2= 4y^2
-7y+9y= 2y
-3+7=4

4y^2+2y+4

Might want to check my math but that's how you do it.

On each task card, there are four statements. Three are correct and one is INCORRECT. Find the incorrect statement and give the

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Statement 4 is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

#4 is incorrect. This statement is assuming that both 3x+5 and 4x are equal, but the correct way to use them and achieve 180 (definition of supplementary) degrees is by writing it as: 3x+5 + 4x = 180. (I spaced the 3x+5 and 4x to make it clear that these are two angles added together.) With this equation, you will be able to find the x and the substitute it back in to complete the equation.

suppose that you plan on taking a summer job selling magazines subscriptions . the magazine company will help you pay $0.75 for

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Money earned by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25

Solution:

Given that you are planning to take a summer job selling magazine subscription.

For first subscription, magazine company will help you to pay $0.75

For each additional subscription sold, magazine company will pay you $0.20 more than what was paid for previous subscription.

So for second subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 1

And for third subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 2

Generalizing for nth subscription we get

Payments for nth subscription = 0.75 + 0.20(n-1)

so here we can see that arithmetic sequence is formed, having first term

$a_1 = 0.75$ and common difference = d = 0.20

We need to determine sum of above arithmetic sequence for n = 175

Formula for sum of arithmetic sequence is as follows 

$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$

In our case n = 175, a = 0.75, d = 0.20

$\begin{array}{l}{=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[(2 \times 0.75)+(175-1) 0.20]} \\\\ {=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[1.5+(174 \times 0.20)]} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2} \times 36.3=3176.25}\end{array}$

Hence money earn by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25

Change 5 5/16 into a decimal and show work

Alex Ar [27]

to convert a fraction to a decimal, like say a/b is really simply the quotient of a ÷ b.

now, let's first convert the mixed fraction to improper, and then do the division.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{5}{16}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 16+5}{16}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{85}{16}}\\\\[-0.35em] \rule{31em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{85}{16}\implies 85\div 16\implies 5.3125$
