Answer: the length if the three sides are 31 feet, 23 feet and 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle.

Let y represent the length of the second side of the triangle.

Let z represent the length of the third side of the triangle.

The second side of a triangular deck is 5 feet longer than the shortest​ side. This means that

y = x + 5

The third side is 5 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. This means that

z = 2x - 5

If the perimeter of the deck is 72 ​feet, it means that

x + x + 5 + 2x - 5 = 72

4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

z = 2x - 5 = 2 × 18 - 5

z = 36 - 5

z = 31

y = x + 5 = 18 + 5

y = 23

What is the slope of these two equations?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

8. 0

9. undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

8. 0

> because the y variable is the same for all x-values, this is a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.

  > <em>Thinking of slope as rise over run: we will always rise 0, and run __ from any two points--0 divided by any number is always 0</em>

9. undefined

> because the x variable is always the same, no matter what y variable we graph, we will have the same outcome. So, this would look like a straight line, which have an undefined slope.

   > <em>If you think of a slope as rise / run; if you go from any two points, there will be a 0 in the denominator--which is undefined</em>

What are the zeros of this function? Circle them on the graph.
Rashid [163]

Given:

The graph of a function.

To find:

The zeros of this function on the graph.

Solution:

We know that, zeros are the values at which the values of the function is 0. It means, the points where the graph of function intersect the x-axis are know as zeros of the function.

From the given graph it is clear that, the graph intersect the x-axis at two points.

Therefore, the marked points on the below graph are the zeros of the function.
