Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is equilateral :

2x +y/2 = 5x/3+y + ½ = 2/3x +2y +5/2

so the perimeter is : P = 3(2x +y/2) or 3(5x/3+y + ½) or 3(2/3x +2y +5/2)

the simplest is : P = 3(2x +y/2)

P = 6x + (3y)/2

A golf player is trying to make a hole-in-one on the miniature golf green shown.

The path of the ball is an illustration of absolute equation.

The equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

The given parameters are:

$(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$ --- the vertex (i.e. the point where the ball hits the wall)

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7.6,1.6)$

An absolute function is represented as:

$y = a |x - h| + k$

Substitute $(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$

$y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

Substitute $(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$ for x and y

$1.6 = a|2 - 4.8| + 6.4$

$1.6 = a|- 2.8| + 6.4$

Remove absolute bracket

$1.6 = 2.8a + 6.4$

Collect like terms

$2.8a = -6.4+1.6$

$2.8a =- 4.8$

Solve for a

$a =-\frac{4.8}{2.8}$

Simplify

$a =-\frac{12}{7}$

Substitute $a =-\frac{12}{7}$ in $y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

$y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

Hence, the equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

See attachment for graph that models the path

4/5 divided by 1/3 plus 1/5 minus 3/5

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}$

as

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:fractions\:}\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}:\quad -\frac{2}{5}$

so

$=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a}=\frac{b}{c\:\cdot \:a}$

$=\frac{4}{5\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}\right)}$

join $\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{5}:\quad -\frac{1}{15}$

so

$=\frac{4}{5\left(-\frac{1}{15}\right)}$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{4}{-5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}$

$=-\frac{4}{5\cdot \frac{1}{15}}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}5\cdot \frac{1}{15}\::\quad \frac{1}{3}$

so

$=-\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}\:\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}:\quad \frac{12}{1}$

so

$=-\frac{12}{1}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a$

$=-12$

Therefore

$\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}=-12$

In triangle XYZ, an exterior angle to angle X had measure 100° and an exterior angle to angle Z has measure 120°. Which side of

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Side YZ is the longest

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side is across from the largest angle.

Angle X must be 80° because its exterior angle is 100° and they're supplementary. Angle Z is 60° for the same reason. Inside a triangle is always 180°, and since the measures of angle Z and X add up to 140°, so there's 40° left, meaning angle X is the largest.

Angle X is across from size YZ, so that's the longest
