Answer:

y=4√3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given ΔABC, which is a right triangle (m<C=90°), m<A=60°, AB=8, and BC=y

We need to find the value of y (BC)

The side AB is the hypotenuse of the (the side opposite from the right angle).

BC is a leg, which is a side that makes up the right angle.

Now, if we have a right triangle that has one of the acute angles as 60°, the side OPPOSITE from that 60° angle (in this case, BC) is equal to $\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}$ , where a is the length of the hypotenuse

Since we have the hypotenuse given as 8, the length of BC (y) is $\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}$ , or 4√3

so y=4√3 units

Hope this helps!

If a 12-student class averaged 90 on a test, and a 20-student class averaged 80 on the test, then all 32 students averaged

Alexxx [7]

Let the marks of the students in class 1 be

$m_1, m_2, ....., m_1_2$

the average of these 12 marks is 90, so

$\frac{m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2}{12}=90$

which means

$m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2=90*12=1080$

similarly, let $n_1, n_2, ....., n_2_0$ be the marks of the students in the second class,

so $\frac{n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0}{20}=80$

which means $n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0=80*20=1600$

The 32 students averaged:

$\frac{(m_1+ m_2+ .....+ m_1_2)+(n_1+ n_2+ ..... n_2_0)}{12+20}= \frac{1080+1600}{32}= \frac{2680}{32}= 83.75$

Answer: 6

Step-byStep:

[(18- 8) x 3) + (4+3) x 6] divided by 12

step 1- start with the stuff in the parentheses

[(10 x 3) + (7 x 6)] divided by 12

step 2- simplify things in parentheses

[30 + 42] divided by 12

step 3- simplify even more

[72] divided by 12

step 4- remove brackets, and simply even further

72 divided by 12 = 6

A function f is _____ on an open interval I if, for any choice of x1 and x2 in I, with 1 less than

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

If $f(x_1)\leq f(x_2)$ whenever $x_1\leq x_2$ f is increasing on I.

If $f(x_1)\geq f(x_2)$ whenever $x_1\leq x_2$ f is decreasing on I.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are definitions for real-valued functions f:I→R. To help you remember the definitions, you can interpret them in the following way:

When you choose any two numbers $x_1\leq x_2$ on I and compare their image under f, the following can happen.

$f(x_1)\leq f(x_2)$ . Because x2 is bigger than x1, you can think of f also becoming bigger, that is, f is increasing. The bigger the number x2, the bigger f becomes.

$f(x_1)\geq f(x_2)$ . The bigger the number x2, the smaller f becomes so f is "going down", that is, f is decreasing.

Note that this must hold for ALL choices of x1, x2. There exist many functions that are neither increasing nor decreasing, but usually some definition applies for continuous functions on a small enough interval I.
