Start by representing the lengths of the three sides of your triangle:
first side: x-4 (inches)
second side: x (inches)
third side: (x-4) + 3 (inches)
Add these three quantities up to obtain a formula for the perimeter, and set your sum equal to the given perimeter (15 inches):
x-4 + x + x-4 -3 = 15
3x-11=15
3x=26
x=26/3
Thus, the length of the 2nd side is 26/3; that of the first side is 26/3-4, or 14/3; and that of the third side is 14/3+3, or 23/3 (all measurements in inches).
Probaility in general is defined as the ratio of positive outcomes over the total number of outcomes.
In the first example, the total outcomes are 16; let us count the positive ones. There are 8 even numbers from 1-16. The prime numbers are 2,3,5,7,11,13. Out of those, only 5 are odd. Hence, in total there are 13 positive outcomes. Thus, the probability is 13/16=81.25%
Let's restrict the problem to the students that studied for the exam; the proportion is 0.57 of the total students. 0.52 of the total students studied and saw an increase in their exam. Hence, the probability that a student who studied saw an increse is 0.52/0.57 (here a positive outcome is the proportion that saw an increase and the total outcomes are all the students that studied). 0.52/0.57=91.22%
Answer:
C) The axis of symmetry is x = −1.5 and the vertex is (−1.5, 8.25).
Step-by-step explanation:
The axis of symmetry is x = − b/2a
= -(-3) / 2(-1)
= 3/(-2)
= -1.5
the vertex => x = -1.5
y= -(-1.5)²-3(-1.5)+6 =
-2.25 +4.5+6= 8.25
Answer:
A = 2
B = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To get an infinite number of solutions, both lines should be the same.
This means
A1x+ B1 = A2x + B2
So,
8x−5x+4−x=Ax+B
2x +4 = Ax +B
With this, we know the value of the coefficients
A = 2
B = 4
