Mathematics

labwork [276]3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

(a + b)² = 9

(b + c)² = 25

(a + c)² = 81

Taking the square root:

a + b = ±3

b + c = ±5

a + c = ±9

By adding these three equations together and dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of a + b + c.

Possible combinations for a + b + c such that the sum is greater than or equal to 1 are:

a + b + c = (-3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 11/2

a + b + c = (3 − 5 + 9)/2 = 7/2

a + b + c = (3 + 5 + 9)/2 = 17/2

17% of 400 is 68.
Another way u can do it is 17% of 100 four times since its easier to do. 
17% of 100 is 17.
we have to do this 4 times since 100 goes into 400 four times.
So 17*4 =68

Without using technology, describe the end behavior of f(x) = 3x32 + 8x2 − 22x + 43. (2 points)​
Elis [28]

Answer:

This function is an even-degree polynomial, so the ends go off in the same directions, just like every quadratic I've ever graphed. Since the leading coefficient of this even-degree polynomial is positive, the ends came in and left out the top of the picture, just like every positive quadratic you've ever graphed. All even-degree polynomials behave, on their ends, like quadratics.
