Answers:

x = 5/2 = 2.5

y = 10

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

Explanation:

Focus on the smallest triangle and the medium sized triangle. We can form the proportion 2/4 = x/5 by dividing the corresponding sides together.

Solving for x leads us to the following

2/4 = x/5

2*5 = 4*x

10 = 4x

4x = 10

x = 10/4

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

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

Now focus on the medium sized triangle and the largest triangle. We'll use the same idea as before

4/8 = 5/y

4y = 8*5

4y = 40

y = 40/4

y = 10

Note how each horizontal line is a midsegment, which means that jumping from y = 10 to 5 is us taking half of that value. Then going from 5 to x = 5/2 = 2.5 is another step of cutting in half.

4. Mr. Downey used the function f(x) = -3x2 + 12x to model the flight of a glider. In Mr. Downey's
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the maximum value of a function, you can take the derivative of the function and equalize the result to 0.

f'(x)=(-3x^2 + 12x)'=-6x+12=0

x=2

When x is 2, the function will reach its maximum value.

f(2)=-3(2)^2 + 12.2 = -12 + 24 = 12

The maximum value (f(x)) is equal to 12 and the time passed is 2 minutes which is equal to 120 seconds.

What is they y intercept and why?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

yanalaym [24]

let the length of each shorter side be x

length of longer side= x+14

2(x+14) + 2x = 48

2x + 28 + 2x = 48

4x + 28 = 48

4x = 48-28

4x = 20

x = 5

shorter side = 5cm
