Answer:

The expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides equal which are the triangle legs. Let b represent the base of the triangle and l represent one of the triangle's legs. Then, the perimeter, P is given by

P = l + l + b

i.e P = 2l + b

From the question, P = 6y + 12 and b = 4y +2

∴ 6y + 12 = 2l + 4y + 2

6y - 4y + 12 - 2 = 2l

2y + 10 = 2l

∴ 2l = 2y + 10

Then,

l = (2y+10)/2

l = y + 5

Hence, the expression that represents the length of 1 of the triangle's legs is y + 5

Write an equation in form for each line passes through (-4,-5), slope=3/4
aivan3 [116]

set the equation of the function to y=kx+b

Slope = 3/4 means k=3/4

we get: y = 3/4x+b

plug (-4,-5) to the function

-5=-3+b

b=-2

so: y = 3/4x-2

I need help on D pleaseeeeee!!! and explain please I dont understand.
kodGreya [7K]
Since it says the line will be parallel to that, keep 2x-3y and replace -6 with a variable.
Like this: 2x-3y=c
Replace x and y with the x and y values from (1,-2)
2(1)-3(-2)=c
Solve for c
2+6=c
8=c
Now, replace c in 2x-3y=c with 8:
2x-3y=8 is the answer

Write the expression 2a+b in the form of a fraction with the given denominator. Check if the domain of the expression changed. I
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume the given denominator is 3a as there is nothing attached to the statement.

Lets first look at the domain of 2a+b. As it is a polynomial with unknowns a and b, we know it has its domain in all real numbers for both  a and b as every polynomial does. For verifying it replace a and b by any real number you can think of.

Domain = a, b belonging to R

Now, if we divide 2a+b by 3a we will have:

(2a+b)/3a

As know we don not have a polynomial we cant state that the domain will still be all the real numbers for sure. We need to go further.

We have a fraction and as every fraction the denominator CAN'T be equal to 0, so 3a MUST be different to 0. This means that a MUST be different to 0. So, now our domain changes:

domain' = a, b belonging to R and a different to 0.

A triangle has one side measuring 16 inches and two sides measuring 13 inches. Is this triangle scalene?
nadya68 [22]

No, because a scalene triangle has to have all sides that are different lengths. 2 sides being 13 inches would mean that the triangle has 2 sides that are equal, making it an isosceles triangle.
