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

Answer:

The distance traveled between 10 minutes and 15 minutes is increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob is going on a road trip across the country. He covers 10 miles in 15 minutes.

Therefore, between the 10 minutes and 15 minutes, Jacob was in motion and if he covers 10 miles in 15 minutes with a constant speed, then Jacob will cover $\frac{10}{15} \times (15 - 10) = 3.33$ miles in that period.

So, the distance traveled between 10 minutes and 15 minutes is increasing.

Identify the transformation of the function f(x)=|x| by observing the equation of the function g(x)=|x+3|

Alla [95]

Answer:

a horizontal translation by 3 units left

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= |x|

we are given with absolute function f(x)

g(x) = |x+3|

To get g(x) from f(x) , 3 is added with x

If any number is added with x then the graph of the function move to the left

Here 3 is added with x, so the graph of f(x) moves 3 units left to get g(x)

So there will be a horizontal translation by 3 units
