Triangles WSR and TVR are similar. Find x.

Mathematics

They are similar. Set the proportions equal to each other

(x + 8)/8 = (x+14)/12

Cross multiply

(x + 8)/8 (8)(12) = (x + 14)/12 (12)(8)

12(x + 8) = 8(x + 14)

Distribute the 12 and 8 to the corresponding monomials inside the parenthesis

12(x + 8) = 12x + 96

8(x + 14) = 8x + 112

12x + 96 = 8x + 112

Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides and 96 from both sides

12x (-8x) + 96 (-96) = 8x (-8x) + 112 (-96)

12x - 8x = 112 - 96

4x = 16

Isolate the equal sign. Divide 4 from both sides

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 16/4

x = 4

4 is your answer for x

Find the Exponential Regression using the table. Write the initial amount, common ratio, and equation for the table.
Triss [41]

Answer:

Initial temperature;

432.76

Common ratio;

-0.067

Equation;

y=432.76e^{-0.067x}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the time in minutes represents the independent variable x while the temperature of the pizza represents the dependent variable y.

The analysis is performed in Ms. Excel. The first step is to obtain a scatter plot of the data then finally inserting an exponential trend line to obtain the required equation.

The Ms. Excel output is shown in the attachment below. To obtain the initial temperature we substitute x = 0 in the equation. On the other hand, the common ratio is the exponent in the equation.

Between x = 2 and x = 3, which function has the smallest average rate of change?
hoa [83]
The function with the smallest rate of change is B.
Rate of change is like slope, the vertical change over the horizontal change.
The horizontal change for each of these choices will be ONE since 3-2 = 1.

Plug 2 in for x to find y, then plug 3 in for x and find y. Subtract the y values and you will get the rate of change as follows:
A) 30
B) 7
C) 192
D) 12
If you need more explaining just let me know.
