Answer:

The smallest whole number length is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of any two sides of any triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

In this case, the two smallest sides of the triangle must be greater than the third side to satisfy the statement above.

Let "x" = the length of the third side.

Our two smaller sides are "x" and "4", and their sum must be greater than 15.

x + 4 > 15

x > 15 - 4

x > 11

8. If k = log, 3 then log, 48 = 16 (1) 2k +3 (3) k +8 (2) 3k +1 (4) k +4

vekshin1

assuming you means k = log_2(3) [as log(2)3 is the same thing as 3log(2) due to multiplication being commutative]

given log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)

log_2(48) = log_2(3) + log_2(16)

Jenny is starting a cake baking business. She plans on selling each cake for $15 and her cost will be $5 per cake. The equipment

Gennadij [26K]

The domain is {0≤x≤200}.

This is because the domain is x, the number of cakes. The smallest number of cakes she can bake is 0.

Since she is buying enough materials to make 200 cakes, this number is the largest number of cakes she can bake.
