Answer:

<em>Answer: x=2 (third option)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a line</u>

Being m is the slope and (h,k) is a point through which the line passes, the point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

y - k = m ( x - h )

We have the function f passes through the point (-1,9) and has a slope of m=-3. The point-slope equation of the line is:

y - 9 = -3 ( x - (-1) )

Operating:

y - 9 = -3 ( x + 1 )

y - 9 = -3x - 3

Adding 9:

y = -3x + 6

To calculate the zero of the function we set y=0 and solve for x:

-3x + 6 = 0

Subtracting 6:

-3x = - 6

Dividing by -3

x = - 6 / ( - 3 )

x = 2

Answer: x=2 (third option)

Which part of the graph best represents the solution set to the system of inequalities y&lt;_ x+1 and y+x&lt;_ -1
Pavel [41]

Hello!

Remember that the symbols: ≤ and ≥ are graphed as a solid line. While the symbols: < and > are graphed as a dotted line.

Also, before graphing, it would be better to convert both equations to slope-intercept form.

y ≤ x + 1 is already in slope-intercept form.

y + x ≤ -1 is not written in slope-intercept form. (Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b)

y + x ≤ - 1 (subtract x from both sides)

y ≤ -x - 1

Graphing those lines, you get the graph below. You can see that Part C best represents the solution set systems of inequalities, because that is where both of the shaded lines intersect.

Answer: Part C

Find the surface area of the triangular prism
melomori [17]

Answer:

608 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1) Find the area of the bases</u>

A=\frac{1}{2} bh where b is the base length and h is the height

Plug in b and h

A=\frac{1}{2} (12)(8)\\A=48

Multiply the answer by 2 (because there are 2 bases)

A=96

Therefore, the area of the two bases is 96 ft².

<u>2) Find the area of the two sides facing up</u>

A=lw where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in l and w

A=10*16\\A=160

Multiply the answer by 2 (because there are 2 sides)

A=320

Therefore, the area of these two sides is 320 ft².

<u>3) Find the area of the bottom side</u>

A=lw where l is the length and w is the width

Plug in l and w

A=12*16\\A=192

Therefore, the area of this side is 192 ft².

<u>4) Add all the areas together</u>

96 ft² + 320 ft² + 192 ft²

= 608 ft²

Therefore, the surface area of the triangular prism is 608 ft².

I hope this helps!
