Answer:

  increasing 7/24 ft per week

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.

If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...

  b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)

Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...

  b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))

When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...

  b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24

The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.

Find the length of the segment.<br><br> please help
maksim [4K]

Answer:

\sqrt{29}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula!

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

If we plug in the coordinates:

d=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(4-2)^2} \\d=\sqrt{25+4}\\ d=\sqrt{29}

That's our answer!

PLEASE HELP ME WHOEVER HELPS I WILL MARK BRAINLEST :)

Remember the shortcut way for graphing quadratic equations

  • A quadratic function has graph as parabola
  • Hence on both sides of vertex the parabola is symmetric and axis of symmetry is vertex x values .
  • y on both sides for -x and +x is same

#1

  • y=2(x-3)²-1

Vertex

  • (h,k)=(3,-1)

As a is positive parabola facing upwards

Find y for same x distance from vertex

I took 3-1=2 and 3+1=4

  • f(2)=2(2-3)²-1=2(-1)²-1=2-1=1
  • f(4)=2(4-3)²-1=1

Now plot vertex and these two points (2,1) and (4,1) on graph then draw a parabola by freehand

#2

  • y=(x-2)(x+4)
  • y=x²+4x-2x-8
  • y=x²+2x-8

Convert to vertex form

  • y=x²+2x+1-9
  • y=(x+1)²-9

Vertex at (-1,-9)

Same take two equidistant x values

Let's take -1-1=-2 and -1+1 =0

  • f(-2)=(-2+1)²-9=1-9=-8
  • f(0)=(1)²-9=-8

Put (-1,-9),(-2,-8),(0,-8) on graph and draw a freehand parabola

#3.

Yes it can be verified by finding the coordinate theoretically on putting them on function then can be verified through putting them on graph whether they matches or not

in a bag of 20 marbles, 4 are blue. what is the probability that one taken at random will not be blue?
Ber [7]
Your answer is 4/5, which is 80% or 0.8

If there are 20 marbles in total in the bag, and 4 blue ones, that means that the probability of taking a blue one is 4/20.

This means that the probability of not taking a blue one is 1 - 4/20, or 20/20 - 4/20, which equals 16/20 = 4/5

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Answer:

A.x(x+12) -7(x+12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factoring is the process of taking common terms out of an expression such that one can represent the expression as the result of smaller values. When given the following expression:

x^2 +5x - 84

First, represent the linear term as the sum of two terms such that each term shares a common factor with the other terms in the expression.

x^2 +12x - 7x - 84

Now take out the common factors,

x(x+12) -7(x+12)

Thus, the correct option is choice (A).
