Answer:

The length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the lengths of the sides of a triangle are 4, 5 and 6, if the length of the longest side of a similar triangle is 15, to determine what is the length of the shortest side of the triangle, the following calculation must be performed :

6 = 15

4 = X

4 x 15/6 = X

10 = X

Therefore, the length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10.

Solve for j.<br> 2j - k= 5
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

j=1/2k+5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2j−k=5

Step 1: Add k to both sides.

2j−k+k=5+k

2j=k+5

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2j/2=k+5/2

j=1/2k+5/2

Write an equation of the parabola that opens up whose vertex (−1, 2) is 3 units from the focus. (Vertex form or Parabola Form is
TEA [102]

Answer:

y2  =  4ax (opens right, a > 0)

y2  =  -4ax (opens right, a > 0)

x2  =  4ay (opens up, a > 0)

x2  =  -4ay (opens down, a > 0)

Vertex at (h, k) :  

(y - k)2  =  4a(x - h) (opens right, a > 0)

(y - k)2  =  -4a(x - h) (opens right, a > 0)

(x - h)2  =  4a(y - k) (opens up, a > 0)

(x - h)2  =  -4a(y - k) (opens down, a > 0)

Equation of a Parabola in Vertex form

Vertex at Origin :  

y  =  ax2 (opens up, a > 0)

y  =  -ax2 (opens down, a > 0)

x  =  ay2 (opens right, a > 0)

x  =  -ay2 (opens left, a > 0)

Vertex at (h, k) :  

y  =  a(x - h)2 + k (opens up, a > 0)

y  =  -a(x - h)2 + k (opens down, a > 0)

x  =  a(y - k)2 + h (opens right, a > 0)

y  =  -a(y - k)2 + h (opens left, a > 0)

Determine as a linear relation in x, y, z the plane given by the vector function F(u, v) = a + u b + v c when a = 2 i − 2 j + k,
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

2x - y - 3z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the set

{i, j}  = {(1,0), (0,1)}

is a base in \mathbb{R}^2

and F is linear, then

<em>{F(1,0), F(0,1)}  </em>

would be a base of the plane generated by F.

F(1,0) = a+b = (2i-2j+k)+(i+2j+k) = 3i+2k

F(0,1) = a+c = (2i-2j+k)+(2i+j+2k) = 4i-j+3k

Now, we just have to find the equation of the plane that contains the vectors 3i+2k and 4i-j+3k

We need a normal vector which is the cross product of 3i+2k and 4i-j+3k

(3i+2k)X(4i-j+3k) = 2i-j-3k

The equation of the plane whose normal vector is 2i-j-3k and contains the point (3,0,2) (the end of the vector F(1,0)) is given by

2(x-3) -1(y-0) -3(z-2) = 0

or what is the same

2x - y - 3z = 0
