Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to know is that when two triangles are similar their sides will always be proportional. So we will create a proportion that goes like this...\frac{\Delta1side}{\Delta1base} =\frac{\Delta2side}{\Delta2base} but since it doesn't tell us the exact value of triangle 1. We will have to add 3 and 12 to get 15 which is the base of the first triangle. Now we're ready to write the proportion.

\frac{4x}{15}=\frac{3x+1}{12}

Now we cross multiply and solve the equation...

48x=15(3x+1)\\48x=45x+15\\3x=15\\x=5

So the value of x is 5.

The graph of y=√x is shifted 3 units down and 2 units right. Which equation represents the new graph?
kolbaska11 [484]
The general form would be:  y = a \sqrt{x-b} + c  where 'a' is responsible for the magnitude of the function, 'b' is responsible for horizontal shift.and 'c' is responsible for vertical shift of the function.  

Your answer would be:  y =  \sqrt{x-2} -3

Looks like choice A
