Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

h(x) = 4x² - 5x

h(-3) is x = -3

Step 2: Evaluate

Substitute: h(-3) = 4(-3)² - 5(-3)
Exponents: h(-3) = 4(9) - 5(-3)
Multiply: h(-3) = 36 + 15
Add: h(-3) = 51

The sum of five consecutive multiples of 4 is 20.Find the smallest integer.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The smallest integer is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x.

Since the integers are all multiples of 4, they are

=> x, x+4, x+8, x+12 and x+16

=> x + x+4 + x+8 + x+12 + x+16 = 20

=> 5x + 40 = 20

Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation

5x +40 - 40 = 20 - 40

5x = -20

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x(which is 5)

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-20}{5}$

x = -4

∴ the smallest integer is -4.

Hope this helps!!!

If a translation takes triangle CAT to C'A'T', what is A'T'?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

square root of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

since triangle CAT with vertex A at negative 2 comma 1, vertex T at negative 1 comma 4 and vertex C at 0 comma 0, side AT has a measure of square root of 10 units, side TC has a measure of square root of 17 units, and side AC has a measure of square root of 5 units, therefore the square root will be 10

Three security cameras were mounted at the corners of a triangles parking lot. Camera 1 was 110 ft from camera 2, which was 137

Nata [24]

Answer:

Camera 2nd has to cover the maximum angle, i.e. $78.70^\circ$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the triangular park represented as a triangle $\triangle ABC$ with sides

a = 110 ft

b = 158 ft

c = 137 ft

1st camera is located at point C, 2nd camera at point B and 3rd camera at point A respectively.

We can use law of cosines here, to find out the angles $\angle A, \angle B, \angle C$

As per Law of cosine:

$cos C = \dfrac{a^{2}+b^2-c^2 }{2ab}\\cos B = \dfrac{a^{2}+c^2-b^2 }{2ac}\\cos A = \dfrac{b^{2}+c^2-a^2 }{2bc}$

Putting the values of a,b and c to find out angles $\angle A, \angle B, \angle C$ .

$cos C = \dfrac{110^{2}+158^2-137^2 }{2\times 110 \times 158}\\\Rightarrow cos C = \dfrac{12100+24964-18769 }{24760}\\\Rightarrow cos C =0.526\\\Rightarrow C = 58.24^\circ$

$cos B = \dfrac{110^{2}+137^2-158^2 }{2\times 110 \times 137}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{12100+18769 -24964}{30140}\\\Rightarrow cos B = \dfrac{5905}{30140}\\\Rightarrow cos B =0.196\\\Rightarrow B = 78.70^\circ$

$cos A = \dfrac{158^{2}+137^2-110^2 }{2\times 158 \times 137}\\\Rightarrow cos A = \dfrac{24964+18769-12100}{43292}\\\Rightarrow cos A = \dfrac{31633}{43292}\\\Rightarrow cos A = 0.731\\\Rightarrow A = 43.05^\circ$

Camera 2nd has to cover the maximum angle, i.e. $78.70^\circ$ .

Two students compared the scores on their math tests. Their results on 9 tests are shown in the box plots below.

Pani-rosa [81]

The statements which are true regarding the students whose results on 9 tests are as shown are; The median of Nadia's data is equal to the median of Ben's data.

Nadia had the highest score on a test.

<h3>Which statements are true regarding the scores on the tests?</h3>

According to the task content, it follows that the results of the students in discuss are indicated by means of a box plot as in the attached image.

Consequently, it follows from observation that the median of Nadia and Ben as indicated in the attached box plot is 92 in both cases as indicated by the vertical line in both boxes.

Additionally, the highest score by Nadia is 100 while that for Ben is; 99.

Hence, Nadia had the highest score on a test.
