It's equivalent to 4.25 or 4 1/4
The length of a median is equal to half the square root of the difference of twice the sum of the squares of the two sides of the triangle that include the vertex the mediam is drawn from and the square of the side of the triangle the median is drawn to.
triangle sides by a, b, c.
ma=122c2+2b2−a2
mb=122c2+2a2−b2
mc=122a2+2b2−c2
Answer: A is the correct answer
Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b
So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $
the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).
x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".
9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6
(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft
I believe the answer is 0=1
