Sally, John & Mary had a discussion about Quadrilateral PQRS. Sally claimed that the figure represents an isosceles trapezoi

d, John claimed that it is a non-isosceles trapezoid, while Mary said it wasn’t a trapezoid at all.
Explain how you would prove who is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the lenghth of the left and right sides using the distance formula to determine if the trapeziod is isosceles

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}

PS=\sqrt{(2-1)^2+(0-4)^2}

PS=\sqrt{17}

QR=\sqrt{(13-9)^{2}+(8-10)^{2}}

QR=\sqrt{20}

Since PS\neq QR (the sides are not equal) this is not an isosceles trapezoid

Sally is incorrect and John is possibly correct.

Find the slope of the top and bottom sides to determine if this is a trapezoid.

m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

SR:  m= \frac{0-8}{2-13}

m=\frac{8}{11}

PQ:  m=\frac{4-10}{1-9}

m=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

since mSR\neq mPQ (the slopes are not equal) the top and bottom sides are not parallel therefore this is not a trapezoid. Hence, John is incorrect, and Mary is ultimately correct.

can anyone please help me I am struggling?? It’s 9th grade algebra 1 average rate of change comparison
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

a) 2 b) 1 c) 7/6

Function a(x) = 2x + 3 has the greatest rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

a(x) = 2x + 3

2(-1) + 3 = 1 (-1,1)

2(2) + 3 = 7 (2,7)

\frac{7-1}{2-(-1)} = 6/3

=2

b(x) = x^2 - 1

(-1)^2 - 1 = 0 (-1, 0)

(2)^2 - 1 = 3 (2,3)

\frac{3-0}{2-(-1)} = 3/3

=1

c(x) = 2^x + 1

2^(-1) + 1 = 1.5 (-1, 1.5)

2^(2) + 1 = 5 (2,5)

\frac{5-1.5}{2-(-1)} = 3.5/3 or 7/6

=7/6

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

p + q = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

p^{2} + 6 p = q^{2} + 6q \\p^{2} - q^{2} = 6q - 6p

( p + q) ( p-q) = 6 ( q - p )

p + q = \frac{6 ( q - p)}{(p-q)}  \\p + q = \frac{-6( p - q)}{(p - q)} \\p + q = -6

Natali [406]
Cost of tablet $315
monthly payments of $25

a. 315 - 25 = $290
b. After each payment, the amount owed decreases. Therefore, the balance decreases.  
second part of this: write equation for calculating the amount owed a for any number of payments n                      $      $25(n-1)  =a

I cant draw a graph on here for you, but as n increases, then a decreases
d. as n increases by 1, how does a change?  Answer: A decreases by $25 each time n increases by one
e. He will need to make 12.6 payments
