A triangle has two congruent sides that measure 8.7 cm and 12.3 cm. Which could be the measure of the third side

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Option C. 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

A triangle has two sides that measure 8.7 cm and 12.3 cm. Which could be the measure of the third side?

A. 2.6 cm

B. 3.6 cm

C. 15 cm

D. 21 cm

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

Analyze two cases

Let

x ----> the length of the third side

First case

x+8.7 > 12.3

x>12.3-8.7

x> 3.6 cm

Second case

12.3+8.7 > x

21 > x

Rewrite

x < 21 cm

Write an equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3/2x + 3 and goes through the point (-3, -8). Hint: Use the po

JulijaS [17]

Point-slope form looks like this: y - k = m(x - h) where m is the slope, k is the y-value and h is the x-value. For (-3, -8), -3 would replace h and -8 would replace k.

Slope-intercept form looks like this: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-value.

To solve the problem we must plug in the given coordinate and slope to the point-slope formula then change the point-slope form into slope-intercept form. But first we need to know what the slope is.

If a line is perpendicular to another line, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. So with the line y = 3/2x + 3, the slope for another line that is perpendicular has to be -2/3 because we switched the numerator and denominator and made it from positive to negative.

Now that we know the slope and the given coordinate, we can start solving.

Plug the givens into the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h).
y - (-8) = -2/3(x - (-3))
y + 8 = (-2/3*x) - (-2/3*-3)
y + 8 = -2/3x + 2 Now we can convert the equation to slope-intercept form.
y + 8 - 8 = -2/3x + 2 - 8 Remember that what we do on one side we must do one the other, so we subtract 8 on the left <em>and </em>right to get y by itself.
y = -2/3x - 6 This equation is now in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, so this is the final result.

I hope this explanation made sense. If there is anything that I made look confusing, feel free to tell me and I'll try my best to explain!

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

rosijanka [135]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: C is the correct answer.

C.) x = −3.8, 3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The function f(x) is given by:

$f(x)=x^2-x-12$

and the function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=-1.8x-0.6$

Now, we are asked to find the solution of the equation:

$f(x)=g(x)$

i.e. we have to find the value of x such that both the functions are equal i.e.

$x^2-x-12=-1.8x-0.6\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-x+1.8x-12+0.6=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2+0.8x-11.4=0\\\\i.e.\\\\10x^2+8x-114=0\\\\i.e.\\\\5x^2+4x-57=0$

Now, on solving the equation using the quadratic formula i.e. the solution of the equation:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

is given by:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here we have:

$a=5,\ b=4\ and\ c=-57$

Hence, the solution is given by:

$x=\dfrac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^2-4\times 5\times (-57)}}{2\times 5}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{-4\pm \sqrt{16+1140}}{10}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=-3.8\ and\ x=3$

A school baseball team earned $3416.90 from selling 5716 tickets to their game. If grandstand tickets sold for 65 cents each and

Nataly [62]

Let g and b represent the numbers of grandstand and bleacher tickets sold.
.. g + b = 5716 . . . . . . . . . total number of tickets sold
.. 65g +40b = 341690 . . value of tickets sold

Using the first equation
.. g = 5716 -b
Sustituting into the second equation
.. 65(5716 -b) +40b = 341690
.. -25b + 371540 = 341690 . . . . . collect terms
.. -25b = -29850 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 371540
.. b = 1194 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -25

1194 bleacher tickets were sold.
