Answer:

7 + 6

5 + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

the lengths of the two shorter sides of a triangle must add up to more than the length of the third side.

3 + 4 = 7 ≤ 8    no

7 + 6 = 13 > 12   yes

5 + 11 = 16 > 13  yes

4 + 6 = 10 ≤ 12  no

4 + 6 = 10 ≤ 10  no

  • B) 7, 6, 12
  • C) 5, 11, 13

===================================================

Explanation:

We'll use the triangle inequality theorem. Recall that this theorem says that a triangle is only possible if and only if adding any two sides leads to a sum larger than the third side.

Let's say we had a triangle with sides a,b,c. Such a triangle is only possible if all three conditions hold true

  • a+b > c
  • b+c > a
  • a+c > b

----------------

Let's go through each answer choice to see if those conditions hold up.

  • Choice A. We have a = 3, b = 4, c = 8. Note that a+b = 3+4 = 7 which is <u>not</u> greater than c = 8. Therefore a+b > c is false, and we cannot make a triangle here. We don't need to check the other inequalities. I recommend you trying it out by cutting out slips of paper of these lengths. You'll find a triangle cannot be constructed. We can rule out choice A.
  • Choice B. We have a = 7, b = 6 and c = 12. We can see that a+b = 7+6 = 13 which is larger than c = 12. So far, so good. Then note that b+c = 6+12 = 18 which is larger than a = 7. Finally, a+c = 7+12 = 19 which is larger than b = 6. Picking any two sides, adding them up, leads to a sum larger than the third side. A triangle is possible in this case. Choice B is one of the answers.
  • Choice C. This time a = 5, b = 11, c = 13. You should find that a triangle is possible following the same steps as done in choice B above. Adding any two sides leads to a sum larger than the third side. Choice C is one of the answers.
  • Choice D. Now we have a = 4, b = 6, c = 12. Then note a+b = 4+6 = 10 which is too small compared to c = 12. Meaning a+b > c is false. A triangle isn't possible. Cross choice D off the list.
  • Choice E. In this case, a = 4, b = 6 and c = 10. Adding the first two values gets us a+b = 4+6 = 10 which is <u>not</u> larger than c = 10. If you used slips of paper, you'd find that a straight line is formed rather than a triangle. Cross choice E off the list.

To wrap things up, only choice B and choice C are possible triangles because adding any two sides leads to a sum larger than the third side.

The solution of a certain differential equation is of the form y(t)=aexp(7t)+bexp(11t), where a and b are constants. The solutio
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the solution of a certain differential equation is of the form

y(t) = ae^{7t} +be^{11t}

Use the initial conditions

i) y(0) =1

1=a(1)+b(1)\\a+b=1 ... I

ii) y'(0) = 4

Find derivative of y first and then substitute

y'(t) = 7ae^{7t} +11be^{11t}\\y'(0) =7a+11b \\7a+11b =4 ...II

Now using I and II we solve for a and b

Substitute b = 1-a in II

7a+11(1-a) = 4\\-4a+11 =4\\-4a =-7\\a = 1.75 \\b = -0.75

Hence solution is

y(t) = 1.75e^{7t} -0.75e^{11t}

The areas of the squares adjacent to two sides of a right triangle are shown below.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

85\:\mathrm{units^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

All side lengths of a square are equal. The three squares create a right triangle, and the hypotenuse of this triangle represents the side length of the square.

All right triangles must follow the Pythagorean Theorem a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Therefore, let h be the side length of this largest square. Since the area of a square with side length s is given by s^2, h^2 will represent the area of the square:

\sqrt{35}^2+\sqrt{50}^2=h^2=\boxed{85\:\mathrm{units^2}}
