Answer:

a. 7.2

b. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the side lengths of similar polygons are proportional to each other, therefore:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Thus, let's find b using:

\frac{b}{10} = \frac{9}{15}

Cross multiply

b*15 = 10*9

15b = 90

Divide both sides by 15

b = 6

Let's find a using:

\frac{9}{15} = \frac{a}{12}

Cross multiply

9*12 = 15*a

108 = 15a

Divide both sides by 15

a = 7.2

A grocery store sells a bag of 7 oranges for $2.80. What is the unit cost?
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The quadratic equations and their solutions are;

9 ± √33 /4 = 2x² - 9x + 6.

4 ± √6 /2 = 2x² - 8x + 5.

9 ± √89 /4 = 2x² - 9x - 1.

4 ± √22 /2 = 2x² - 8x - 3.

Explanation:

Any quadratic equation of the form, ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved using the formula x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a. Here a, b, and c are the coefficients of the x², x, and the numeric term respectively.

We have to solve all of the five equations to be able to match the equations with their solutions.

2x² - 8x + 5, here a = 2, b = -8, c = 5.                                                  x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(5) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 - 40/4.     24 can also be written as 4 × 6 and √4 = 2. So                                                                                     x = 8 ± 2√6 / 2×2= 4±√6/2.

2x² - 10x + 3, here a = 2, b = -10, c = 3.                                                   x =-b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a =-(-10) ± √(-10)² - 4(2)(3) / 2(4) = 10 ± √100 + 24/4. 124 can also be written as 4 × 31 and √4 = 2. So                                                                              x = 10 ± 2√31 / 2×2 = 5 ± √31 /2.

2x² - 8x - 3, here a = 2, b = -8, c = -3.                                                    x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(-3) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 + 24/4.     88 can also be written as 4 × 22 and √4 = 2. So                                                                             x = 8 ± 2√22 / 2×2 = 4± √22/2.

2x² - 9x - 1, here a = 2, b = -9, c = -1.                                                     x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(-1) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 + 8/4.                                          x = 9 ± √89 / 4.

2x² - 9x + 6, here a = 2, b = -9, c = 6.                                                    x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(6) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 - 48/4.                                                                             x = 9 ± √33 / 4 .

Describe the graph of the basic rational function, f(x)=1/x. Talk about its domain and range and compare the function to other o
Anna007 [38]
F(x) = 1/x is a special function. is called the multiplicative inverse or the reciprocal function. the specific shape of the graph is called a rectangular hyperbola.

negative values of x with produce negative values of f(x) and positive values will produce positive function values. so this hyperbola is symmetric with respect to the origin and all negative values are in Q3 and all positive values are in Q1.

as x gets farther and farther from 0 in either direction, you can see that 1/x will be an ever-increasingly smaller distance from the x-axis. indeed, the limit of this function is zero as x approaches either positive or negative infinity.

if x is between -1 and 1, then the value of f(x) increases until x = 0, the limit of the function as x approaches 0 being positive and negative infinity depending on which direction you are coming from.

the domain is all real numbers with the exception of 0

the range also happens to be all real numbers with the exception of zero. all that really means is that zero has no multiplicative inverse.

strictly speaking, this is an exponential function, as the function is f(x) = x^(-1).

What is the y-intercept for the equation y = 11x + 1?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

(0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine the y-intercept</u>

Using the slope intercept form, we know that the equation is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  Therefore, looking at our equation, we can tell that b is 1 therefore the y-intercept is (0, 1)

Answer: (0, 1)
