The perimeter of a triangle is 7 m. The longest side is twice the length of the shortest side. The sum of the

34kurt

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest side be x, then the longest side = 2x.

Also x + y = 2x + 1 where y = length of the middle side,

Simplifying:

2x - x - y = -1

x - y = -1 (A)

Also as the perimeter = 7:

x + 2x + y = 7

3x + y = 7 (B)

Adding (A) and (B):

4x + 0 = 6

x = 6/4 = 1.5

Plug x = 1.5 into equation B:

3(1.5) + y = 7

y = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5.

Answer:

So the shortest side = 1.5, middle = 2.5 and longest = 2*1.5 = 3.

Diego deposited \$ 10,000$10,000 for 44 years at a rate of 6\%6% simple interest. Find the amount of interest Diego earned afte

timama [110]

Answer:

$2,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The correct years is 4 not 44

The Principal = $10,000

Time period = 4 years

Rate = 6 % p.a.

Simple Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

Simple Interest = $10,000 * 6% * 44

Simple Interest = $2,400

So, the amount of interest Diego earned after four years is $2,400

Consider the function f(x) = x² – 3x – 4 and complete parts (a) through (C). (a) Find f(a+h); f(a+h)-f(a) (b) Find (c) Find the

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(a)

$f(a+h)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4$

(b)

$f(a+h)-f(a)=2ah+h^{2} -3h$

(c)

$\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2h+11$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Simply evaluate (a+h) in the function:

$f(a+h)=(a+h)^{2} -3(a+h)-4=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4$

(b)

Evaluate (a) in the function:

$f(a)=a^{2} -3a-4$

Using the previous answers lets calculate f(a+h)-f(a)

$f(a+h)-f(a)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4-(a^{2} -3a-4)=2ah+h^{2} -3h$

(c) To find the rate of change of f(a+1) when a=7 we need to calculate its derivate at that point:

$\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2a+2h-3=2(7)+2h-3=2h+14-3=2h+11$

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola y=-2x^2+8x-7?<br> x=.....

guapka [62]

Answer:

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabola is given as;

y = -2x² + 8x - 7

The equation of the axis of symmetry is given by;

x = -b/2a

In the parabola equation given and using letters of quadratic equation, we can say that;

a = - 2

b = 8.

c = -7

Thus;

x = -b/2a = -8/(2 × - 2)

x = 8/4

x = 2

Equation of axis of symmetry is x = 2
