Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² + 2x - 4
3(-2)² + 2(-2) - 4
3(4) - 4 - 4
12 - 4 - 4
12 - 8
= 4
Using the formula for the area of a triangle we can solve for the base.
The formula for area of a triangle is : Area = 1/2 x base x height
We are given the area and the height:
33.6 = 1/2 x 4 x base
Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the 1/2:
67.2 = 4 x base
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for the base:
67.2 /4 = 16.8
Check: Area = 1/2 x 4 x 16.8 = 33.6
The base is 16.8 inches.
I say D you should probably wait for another answer though
The first thing I'll do is solve "5y = 2x + 20" for "<span>y=</span>", so that I can find my reference slope:
y = (2/5)x + 4;
So the reference slope from the reference line is <span>m = 2/5;</span>.
Now I need to find two new slopes, and use them with the point they've given me; namely, with the point (-1, 3). They want me to find the line through (4, –1) that is parallel to 5y = 2x + 20; that is, through the given point, they want me to find a line that has the same slope as the reference line.
Since a parallel line has an identical slope, then the parallel line through (-1, 3) will have slope <span>m = 2/5</span>. Now I have a point and a slope! So I'll use the point-slope form to find the line: y - 3 = (2/5)( x + 1);
Finally, y = (2/5)x + 17/5;
