Answer:

x = 6.0 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the given dimensions is 2.5/6.5 = 5/13. This should give you a clue that the dimensions here are all half those of the (5, 12, 13) Pythagorean triple. That is, ...

x = 12/2 = 6 . . . cm

In case you haven't memorized a few of the Pythagorean triples commonly used in algebra problems*, you can figure x using the Pythagorean theorem:

6.5² = 2.5² +x²

42.25 -6.25 = x²

x = √36 = 6

x = 6.0 cm

_____

* most commonly seen are (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 40, 41) and their multiples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is increasing when it slopes upward, left to right.

___

Each tick mark on the horizontal axis is 1 unit. Tick marks to the left of the vertical axis are negative numbers; those to the right are positive numbers. The first (leftmost) red dot on the curve aligns with the third tick mark to the left of the vertical axis, so has an x-coordinate of -3.

The arrow on the left end of the curve means the curve extends to (-∞, -∞), so is rising (increasing) on the interval (-∞, -3).

ming has a goal to jog 4 1/2 miles each day.On Monday she jogged 5 9/16 miles.By how much did she exceed her goal for that day?

Ann [662]

First, convert 1/2 to 8/16 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 8. Now, subtract 5 9/16 - 4 8/16. This equals 1 1/16 miles over her goal.

Hope this helps!! :)

What are the new vertices of the triangle under the translation (x, y) (x − 1, y − 3)?

balandron [24]

ANSWER

(-1,-1), (-4,-5), (-8,0)

EXPLANATION

We have a triangle with vertices:

(0,2), (-3,-2) and (-7,3).

The rule for the translation is

$(x, y) \to (x - 1,y - 3)$
