A parallelogram is made up of a rectangle with a base of 12 centimeters (cm) and a height of 5 cm, and two triangles, each with

a base of 2 cm and height of 5 cm. Jeremy calculates the area of the parallelogram by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle to get 60 cm2.
Is Jeremy's answer correct? Why or why not?

Select the option that correctly answers both questions.

No, he forgot to multiply by 12 when calculating the area of the rectangle.

Yes, he correctly calculated the area of the parallelogram as b⋅h.

No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.

Yes, he correctly calculated the area of the parallelogram as 12bh.

No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.

It is said that Jeremy thought he solved for the area of the whole parallelogram correctly by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle, which is just a part of the whole parallelogram.

Jeremy’s answer is incomplete, he only calculated the area of the triangle as the answer.

This is because one way of finding an area of a parallelogram is dividing the shape into a rectangle with a triangle on each side.

The real area of the parallelogram is 70 cm^2
(with areas of each triangles added)

With that being said, the formula of a parallelogram that is said is:
A = bh
Which means a height perpendicular to the base of the whole paralleogram.

show that the sum of the x- and y- intercepts of any tangent line to the curve sqrt(x) sqrt(y) = sqrt(c) is equal to c.
expeople1 [14]
The answer is <span>√x + √y = √c </span>
<span>=> 1/(2√x) + 1/(2√y) dy/dx = 0 </span>
<span>=> dy/dx = - √y/√x </span>

<span>Let (x', y') be any point on the curve </span>
<span>=> equation of the tangent at that point is </span>
<span>y - y' = - (√y'/√x') (x - x') </span>

<span>x-intercept of this tangent is obtained by plugging y = 0 </span>
<span>=> 0 - y' = - (√y'/√x') (x - x') </span>
<span>=> x = √(x'y') + x' </span>

<span>y-intercept of the tangent is obtained by plugging x = 0 </span>
<span>=> y - y' = - (√y'/√x') (0 - x') </span>
<span>=> y = y' + √(x'y') </span>

<span>Sum of the x and y intercepts </span>
<span>= √(x'y') + x' + y' + √(x'y') </span>
<span>= (√x' + √y')^2 </span>
<span>= (√c)^2 (because (x', y') is on the curve => √x' + √y' = √c) </span>
<span>= c.  hope this helps :D</span>

Greeley [361]

Answer:

$3.46 or $3.92

Step-by-step explanation:

it has to be $3.46 because you have to remember that tax is included and it could cost more than what you are paying for the sandwich or drink. but the other possible answer is $3.92 if you're not paying any tax.

What is the equation of the line written in the form y=mx+by=mx+b that passes through GG and has a yy-intercept of −3−3? Enter t
alexdok [17]
Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-2,3)....x = -2 and y = 3
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
3 = -3(-2) + b
3 = 6 + b
3 - 6 = b
-3 = b
so ur equation is : y = -3x - 3 <==

Can someone help me out with this?

Answer:

  the solution set will be non-empty

Step-by-step explanation:

The original inequalities describe regions bounded by parallel lines. The solution is the intersection of the region above the upper line and below the lower line. There is no intersection of those regions, so there is no solution to the original inequalities.

__

When the inequality symbols are reversed, the solution region is the intersection of the region below the upper line and above the lower line. That is, the solution region now exists and is the space between the lines (not including the lines themselves). A graph of this new solution region is attached.
