Answer:

Area = 127.5cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of first side = 8 cm

Length of second side = 15 cm

Length of third side = 17cm

To find,

Area of triangle

to find which of the sides is hypotenuse use Pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = height² + base²

17² = 8² + 15²

289 = 289

hence 17 is the hypotenuse and other two are height and base

<h2>Area of triangle = 1/2 height * base</h2>

Area of triangle = 1/2 15 * 17

Area of triangle = 1/2 (255)

Area of triangle = 127.5

Answer: 24

8 oz is half a pound because a pound is 16 oz, so if you count how many halves go into 12 lbs you get 24 bags

Find the inverse of the function. Show work. <br> g(x)= - 3/x-2 +2

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle g^{-1}(x)=\frac{-7+2x}{x-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$\displaystyle g(x)=-\frac{3}{x-2}+2$

Let's find the inverse of g.

Call y=g(x):

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{x-2}+2$

We need to solve for x. Multiply both sides by x-2 to eliminate denominators:

$y(x-2)=-3+2(x-2)$

Operate:

$yx-2y=-3+2x-4$

Collect the x's to the left side and the rest to the right side of the equation:

$yx-2x=-3-4+2y$

Factor the left side and operate on the right side:

$x(y-2)=-7+2y$

Solve for x:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-7+2y}{y-2}$

Interchange variables:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{-7+2x}{x-2}$

Call y as the inverse function:

$\boxed{\displaystyle g^{-1}(x)=\frac{-7+2x}{x-2}}$
