According to Triangle Inequality Theorem,

adding ANY two sides (together) of a triangle must be GREATER than the third side.

Meaning, two sides CANNOT be less than the third side andCANNOT be equal to the third side.

Because when you add 3 and 16, you get 19.

19 is EQUAL to the third side, 19. This BREAKS the condition of the theorem.

ANSWER: No, the triangle cannot have the lengths of 3,16, and 19.

An equation that defines y as a function of x is given. a. solve for y in terms of x and

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

f(x) = 2x -2/3
f(3) = 5 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve an equation for a specific variable by using inverse operations to undo what is done to the variable. The resulting function is evaluated by substituting the given value for the variable.

We are given the equation ...

6x -3y = 2

Solving for y, we get ...

6x -2 = 3y . . . . . add 3y-2 to both sides

2x -2/3 = y . . . . . divide by 3

f(x) = 2x -2/3 . . . . write using functional notation

To find f(3), we use x=3 in the function.

f(3) = 2(3) -2/3 = 6 -2/3

f(3) = 5 1/3

N^2+100=20n<br><br> Please show work

Subtract 20n from both sides of the equation.
n^2+100-20n=0
factor using the perfect square rule.
(n-10)^2=0
set the n-10 equal to 0.
n-10=0
add 10 to both sides of the equation.
n=0
