Answer:

<em>The base is 24 cm long.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}

\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}

And its value is 180:

\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180

Multiplying by 2:

(h+9)h=360

Operating:

h^2+9h-360=0

Factoring:

(h-15)(h+24)=0

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.

Find the inverse of f(x)= -x + 3
inna [77]
Let g the inverse function of f.

The most important property of g and f being inverses of each other, is that 

g(f(x))=x,      also f(g(x))=x

so, what one function 'does' to x, the other 'undoes' it.



Thus, we have:

f(g(x))=x      and alos   f(g(x))= -g(x)+3, from the rule


thus : 

-g(x)+3=x

-g(x)=x-3

g(x)=-x+3


check: f(g(x))=f(-x+3)=-(-x+3)+3=x-3+3=x


Answer: the inverse of f is g, such that g(x)=-x+3

Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = −2(x − 1) − 4.
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Multiply the first bracket by 3

Multiply the second bracket by -2

3x+3=-2x+2-4

3x+2x+3=-2x-2   negative (-) number and positive number (+)= negative number

Just rearranging

5x+3=-2

5x+3-3=-2-3

5x=-5

Dividing by 5

5x/5=-5/5

x=-1

Check answer by using substitution method

3(-1+1)=-2(-1-1)-4

0=-2(-2)-4 negative number and negative number = positive number

0=4-4

0=0

Answer is x=-1

Find the missing lengths of the sides
Ket [755]

ANSWER

The correct answer is C

EXPLANATION

The given triangle is a right triangle. Since two angles are equal, it is a right isosceles triangle.

This implies that, x=8 units.

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

{y}^{2}  =  {8}^{2}  +  {8}^{2}

This implies that:

{y}^{2}  = 64  +  64

{y}^{2}  =128

Take positive square root,

{y}  =  \sqrt{128}

{y}  = 8 \sqrt{2}

The correct answer is C
