Answer:
Domain: All real numbers
Range: y≤3
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
This is a polynomial function.
The domain is set of all values of x, that makes this function defined.
Since polynomial functions are defined everywhere, the domain is all real numbers.
To find the range we put the function in vertex form:
The maximum value is 3
The function turns downward, hence the range is:
=================================================
Explanation:
The square markers tell us that we have right angles (aka 90 degree angles) at angle XYZ and XWZ. They are congruent by definition.
Another pair of congruent angles is WXZ and YXZ which are the left-most angles of each triangle.
The sides XZ and XZ are congruent to each other (reflexive property)
Based on those three previous paragraphs, we can use the Angle Angle Side (AAS) congruence theorem to prove that the triangles are congruent.
Specifically we could write . The order of the letters is important so we know which letters pair up (eg: Y and W pair up as the 90 degree angles).
--------------------------------------
In short, the triangles are identical copies of each other. The upper triangle reflects over the line XZ to get the lower triangle, and vice versa. This means the smaller corresponding pieces must also be the same.
In this case, WZ = YZ = 38
