Answer:

B {6, 6, 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Which set of numbers may represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (A) {2,5,9} (B) {6,6,7} (C) {6,4,2} (D) {7,8,1}

For a given triangle with 3 sides, the sun of the length of any two sides must be greater Than the third side. This can be expressed mathematically as;

Let the side be ;

x, y and z

Then:

x > (y + z) or

y > (x + z) or

z > (x + y)

For A{2,5,9}

(2 + 5) < 9 (does not meet criteria)

For B {6,6,7}

(6 +6) > 7

(7 +6) > 6

Meets all criteria

For C {6,4,2}

(4 +2) is not greater Than 6 (does not meet criteria)

For D {7,8,1}

(7 +1) is not greater Than 8 ( does not meet criteria)

In the theory of learning, the rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to

fiasKO [112]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement:

M: is total to be memorized

A(t): the amount memorized.

The key issue is translate this statement as equation "rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to be memorized"

memorizing rate is $\frac{dA(t)}{dt}$ .

the amount that is left to be memorized can be expressed as the total minus the amount memorized, that is $M-A(t)$ .

So we can write

$\frac{dA(t)}{dt}=k(M-A(t))$

And that would be the differential equation for A(t).

Whats the ratio between $76,500 to $100,000

Orlov [11]

Divide each by 100. You get the ratio

765 : 1000

Now divide by 5

153 : 200

You can use this or

0.765 : 1

Prove the theorem which states that the angle subtended by a cord is twice at the centre than at the circumference

Novay_Z [31]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Given:

The attached figure showing circle O, chord BC, central angle BOC and inscribed angle BAC
angle BAC = α + β

Prove:

angle BOC = 2×angle BAC

Proof:

∠BOA +∠BOC +∠AOC = 360° . . . . . sum of arcs of a circle is 360°

2α +∠BOA = 180°, 2β +∠AOC = 180° . . . . . sum of triangle angles is 180°

∠BOA = 180° -2α, ∠AOC = 180° -2β . . . . solve statement 2 for central angles

(180° -2α) +∠BOC +(180° -2β) = 360° . . . . . substitute into statement 1

∠BOC = 2(α +β) . . . . . add 2α+2β-360° to both sides

∠BOC = 2×∠BAC . . . . . substitute given for α+β; the desired conclusion

Write a linear function (y=Mx+b) or exponential function that models the data

Molodets [167]

We are given a data set and we are asked to write the model that fits the data. We notice that for each step of "x" the values of "y" increase by the same amount. That means that the data follow a linear model, therefore, we will use:
