Answer: Angle T is larger than angle S. So by the side opposite to angle to (side RS) is longer than the side opposite to angle S (side RT). Therefore, side RS is longer than side RT.
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
42/21 = x/17
solve to get the answer
2 = x/17
2*17 = x/17 * 17
34 = x
Answer: Choice C

=====================================================
Explanation:
The 1/2 out front handles the vertical compression by 1/2. For example, if two points are vertically spaced by 10 units, then their new vertical distance is now (1/2)*10 = 5 units.
The x+3 in the exponent means "shift 3 units to the left". Effectively what's going on is that the old input x is now x+3, ie 3 units larger than before. This shifts the xy axis itself 3 units to the right. If we held the curve fixed in place while the xy axis moved like this, then it gives the illusion the curve is moving 3 units to the left.
Then finally the -2 at the very end shifts the curve down 2 units. This is because whatever the y coordinate is, we subtract 2 from it to do this vertical shifting. For example, the point (0,62.5) shifts 2 units down to (0,60.5)
Upon slight rearrangement...
54xy+18y+45x+15 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms
18y(3x+1)+15(3x+1) which is equal to
(18y+15)(3x+1) and you can further factor the first binomial factor
3(6y+5)(3x+1)
6.4 because 64 divided by 10
