Answer:  A) 0 triangles

============================================================

Explanation:

Adding up the two smaller sides gets us 9.6+11.6 = 21.2, but this result is not larger than the third side of 21.2

For a triangle to be possible, we need to be able to add any two sides and have the sum be larger than the third remaining side. This is the triangle inequality theorem.

I recommend you cutting out slips of paper with these side lengths and trying it out yourself. You'll find that a triangle cannot be formed. The 9.6 cm and the 11.6 cm sides will combine to form a straight line that is 21.2 cm, but a triangle won't form.

As another example of a triangle that can't be formed is a triangle with sides of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 8 cm. The 3 and 5 cm sides add to 3+5 = 8 cm, but this does not exceed the third side. The best we can do is form a straight line but that's not a triangle.

In short, zero triangles can be formed with the given side lengths of 9.6 cm, 11.6 cm, and 21.2 cm

Anni [7]

Answer:

1.  \( f\circ g(x)=0.05x-150

2. \( g\circ f(x)=0.05x-3000

3. The first one represents Dale's commission

Explanation:

1. The composition of the function

                                                             \( f\circ g(x)=f(g(x)) \)    

means that you first apply the function g(x) and then f(x) on the output of g(x).

That is:

  • f(x) = 0.05x
  • g(x) = x - 3000

       f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)

       f(g(x))=0.05x-150

2. The composition of the function

                                                             \( g\circ f(x)=g(f(x)) \)                                                                  

means that you first apply the function f(x) and then g(x) on the output of f(x).

That is:

      g(f(x))=((0.05x)-3000)=0.05x-3000

3. Which one represents Dale's commission

To calculate Dales's commision you must subtract $3,000 from the sales, to find the sales over $3000. That is: x - 3,000, which is the function g(x).

Therefore, you first use g(x).

Then, you must multiply the output of g(x) by 0.05 to find the 5% of the sales over $3,000. That is: 0.05(g((x)) = 0.05(x - 3000) = 0.05x - 150.

Therefore, the composition that represents Dale's commission is the first one:

  f(g(x)=0.05(x - 3000)

       f(g(x))=0.05x-150

What is another way to write the expression p • (10 - 2)
Tanya [424]

Answer:

(p • 10) - (p • 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To be doubly sure of your answer, do the actual mult.:

p(10-2) = 10p - 2p.  This is equivalent to (p • 10) - (p • 2) (Answer D).

The value of a professional basketball player's autograph rose 40% in the last year. It is now worth $364.00. What was it worth
Olin [163]
F it rose 10% that means that it is now worth 110% of what it was a year ago. So set up an equation: 297 = 110% of x297 = 1.1 x270 = x So it was worth $270 a year ago.
