Answer:

The scale factor is 4.

Sides are 12 inches, 16 inches, 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3 : 4 : 5 and the perimeter is 48 inches.

Let the scale is p.

The length of sides is 3 p , 4 p and 5 p.

So, the perimeter is

3 p + 4 p + 5 p  = 48

12 p = 48

p = 4

So, the scale factor is 4.

Sides are 12 inches, 16 inches, 20 inches.

Given:

The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 3:4:5.

Its perimeter is 48 inches.

To find:

The scale factor as a decimal, and the measure of each side of the triangle.

Solution:

Let x be the scale factor. Then the measures of sides of the triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x.

The perimeter of the triangle is 48 inches. It means the sum of all sides of the triangle is 48 inches.

3x+4x+5x=48

12x=48

Divide both sides by 12.

x=\dfrac{48}{12}

x=4

Now, the measures of sides are:

3x=3(4)

3x=12

Similarly,

4x=4(4)

4x=16

And,

5x=5(4)

5x=20

Therefore, the scale factor is 4 and the measures of sides are 12, 16 and 20.

Factor the expression and simplify as much as possible. 24x(x2 1)4(x3 1)5 42x2(x2 1)5(x3 1)4
zmey [24]

Answer: 120[4(x^6 + x^3 + x^4 + x) +7(x^7 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

=24x(x^2 + 1)4(x^3 + 1)5 + 42x^2(x^2 + 1)5(x^3 + 1)4

Remove the brackets first

=[(24x^3 +24x)(4x^3 + 4)]5 + [(42x^4 +42x^2)(5x^3 + 5)4]

=[(96x^6 + 96x^3 +96x^4 + 96x)5] + [(210x^7 + 210x^4 + 210x^5 + 210x^2)4]

=(480x^6 + 480x^3 + 480x^4 + 480x) + (840x^7 + 840x^4 + 840x^5 + 840x^2)

Then the common:

=[480(x^6 + x^3 + x^4 + x) + 840(x^7 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2)]

=120[4(x^6 + x^3 + x^4 + x) +7(x^7 + x^4 + x^5 + x^2)]

N two years, Linda will be half as old as her mother. Her mother is 38 years old now.
Ksenya-84 [330]
I'm not sure about the formula.
But since 38/2=19
19-2=17
Linda is 17 years old.
a possible formula could be:
L=38/2-2

What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation?<br>log2 [log2(sqrt4x)]=1​
erastova [34]

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

log₂[log₂(√4x)] = 1

log₂2 =1

So we replace our 1 with log₂2

log₂[log₂(√4x)] = log₂2

log₂ on bothside will cancel each other.

We will be left with;

[log₂(√4x)] = 2

log = power of exponential

√4x = 2²

√4x = 4

Square bothside

(√4x)² = 4²

4X = 16

Divide bothside by 4

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4

Which phrase is the best description of the association between variables X and Y?
Elodia [21]
The variables have a negative association/correlation, because when one value increases (ex: x) the other decreases (see y)
If you would put a line through the dataset most of the points would be quite a bit off the line so the association is only moderate and not strong

so the answer is it is a "moderate negative association"
