There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.

It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.

Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle

base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)

Plug in the numbers


x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5

The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm

Which equation is y= 2x ^2 - 8x +9 rewritten in vertex form.
tankabanditka [31]
<span>y= 2x ^2 - 8x +9

</span>y = a(x - h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex<span> of the parabola
</span>so
y= 2x ^2 - 8x + 9
y= 2x ^2 - 8x + 8 + 1
y = 2(x^2 - 4x - 4) + 1
y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1 ....<---------<span>vertex form</span>

What is (x+6)(x+4)(x-3) expand and simplify
mestny [16]

Answer:

x³ + 7x² - 6x - 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + 6)(x + 4)(x - 3) ← expand the second and third factor, that is

(x + 4)(x - 3)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x - 3) + 4(x - 3) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x² - 3x + 4x - 12 ← collect like terms

= x² + x - 12

Now multiply this by (x + 6) in the same way

(x + 6)(x² + x - 12)

= x(x² + x - 12) + 6(x² + x - 12) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x³ + x² - 12x + 6x² + 6x - 72 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 7x² - 6x - 72

Which of the following statements are true of the graph of the function f(x)=(x+5)(x-3)?
mr_godi [17]

Answers: b, d and e

b.The graph has a relative minimum

d. The graph has an x intercept at 3,0

e. the graph has an y intercept at 0,-15

f(x)=(x+5)(x-3)

The given equation is in the form of f(x) = a(x-b)(x-c)

If 'a' is positive then graph has a relative minimum

If 'a' is negative then graph has a relative maximum

Here a=1 that is positive so graph has a relative minimum .

To find x intercept we set f(x) =0 and solve for x

0=(x+5)(x-3)

x+5 =0 -> x = -5 so x intercept is (-5,0)

x - 3=0 -> x= 3 so x intercept is (3,0)

To find y intercept we plug in 0 for x

y=(x+5)(x-3)

y=(0+5)(0-3) = -15

so y intercept is (0,-15)

Which of the following graphs represents a function
Nata [24]
Where are the graphs? a function is when every input is paired with exactly one output(every x value must have exactly 1 y value). the vertical line test helps determine a function, a vertical line can’t intersect a graph at more then one point, if it does intersect in more then 1 point then it’s not a function
