Let the base be b. Then the height is b-4. So:
1/2(b)(b-4)=6
b²-4b-12=0
(b-6)(b+2)=0
b=6
b-4=2

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

(3m2n4)^3

Step-by-step explanation:

This deals with raising to a power.

(3m2 • (n4))3

m2 raised to the 3 rd power = m( 2 * 3 ) = m6

n4 raised to the 3 rd power = n( 4 * 3 ) = n12

Based on a kc value of 0.210 and the data table given, what are the equilibrium concentrations of xy, x, and y, respectively?

a_sh-v [17]

The activation energy for the forward and the one for the reverse reaction are similar because they attained chemical equilibrium. A chemical equilibrium happens when both of the reactant and products achieve the same concentration.

Which of the following line passes through point (-4,5) and is parallel to the line segment whose endpoints are at (-2,-3) and (

NNADVOKAT [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

Then, the requested line will have a slope equal to:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {5 - (- 3)} {2 - (- 2)} = \frac {5 +3} {2 + 2} = \frac {8} {4} = 2$

Thus, the line is of the form:

$y = 2x + b$

We substitute point $(-4,5)$ and find "b":

$5 = 2 (-4) + b\\5 = -8 + b\\5 + 8 = b\\b = 13$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = 2x + 13$

Answer:

$y = 2x + 13$
