Answer:

Ratio: 3:2

LN = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

"similar" means that all the angles are the same and the sides were all increased by the same proportion.

Thus, we know that MN/YZ = LM/XY = NL/ZX

First, we need to find the ratio. To do this, we write MN/YZ as a fraction, and simplify.

MN/YZ = 15/10 = 3/2

(If you want, you can double check this using LM nd XY. 8 * 3/2 = 12, so this is correct)

To find the missing side, we simply multiply XZ by 3/2.

12 * 3/2 = 18, so LN = 18.

Y=-2x²-8x-5 domain and range
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Domain: All real numbers

Range: y≤3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y =  - 2 {x}^{2}  - 8x - 5

This is a polynomial function.

The domain is set of all values of x, that makes this function defined.

Since polynomial functions are defined everywhere, the domain is all real numbers.

To find the range we put the function in vertex form:

y =  - 2( {x}^{2}  + 4x) - 5

y =  - 2( {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4) - 5 +  - 4 \times  - 2

y =  - 2( {x}  + 2)^{2} - 5 + 8

y =  - 2( {x}  + 2)^{2}  +  3

The maximum value is 3

The function turns downward, hence the range is:

y \leqslant 3
