Answer:

The height of the triangle is 7cm and the base is 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to know the formula to calculate area of ​​a triangle

a = area = 56

b = base

h = heigth

a = (b * h)/2

we replace the known values and we make 2 equations

56cm² = (b * h)/2

b = h + 9cm

we replace b by (h + 9cm) in the first equation

56cm² = (h + 9cm * h)/2

56cm² * 2 = h² + 9h

0 = h² + 9h - 112cm²

we use bhaskara formula:

(-b (±) √ (b² - 4ac) ) / 2a

we replace with the known values

h = (-9 (±) √ (9² - 4*1*(-112) ) ) / 2*1

h = (-9 (±) √ (81 + 448) ) ) / 2

h = (-9 (±) √529) /2

h = (-9 (±) 23)/2

h1 = (-9 + 23) / 2

h1 = 14 / 2

h1 = 7

h2 = (-9 - 23) / 2

h2 = -32 / 2

h2 = -16

The height of the triangle is 7cm and the base is 16cm

3. For the function, :c(X)=x^2+4x-5 over x+5<br> (a) Identify the restricted domain value(s).
Mrrafil [7]
Domain is all the possible inputs of an equation. In this example, the only concern is the x + 5 because the denominator cannot equal 0 because we can't divided by 0. So we set x + 5 equal to zero and solve for x.

x + 5 = 0
x = -5
The restriction is that x cannot equal -5.

Please answerrrr Graph g(x), where f(x) = 4x − 2 and g(x) = f(x + 1). a line labeled g of x that passes through points 0, negati
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a line labeled g of x that passes through points negative 1, negative 2 and 0, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=4x-2

g(x)=f(x+1)

To determine g(x), substitute the variable x by (x+1) in the function f(x)

so

f(x+1)=4(x+1)-2

f(x+1)=4x+4-2

f(x+1)=4x+2

g(x)=f(x+1)

g(x)=4x+2

therefore

a line labeled g of x that passes through points negative 1, negative 2 and 0, 2
