*see attachement for the triangles given

Answer:

PQ = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides of similar shapes or figures are proportional to each other. Since ∆LMN ~ ∆OPQ, the ratio of their corresponding sides would therefore be equal. Thus:

LN/OQ = MN/PQ

LN = 5

OQ = 17

MN = 2

PQ = ?

Plug in the values

5/17 = 2/PQ

Cross multiply

5*PQ = 2*17

5*PQ = 34

PQ = 34/5

PQ = 6.8

line pass through the line (-3, -7.5)tahila determined that the equation of line n is y=0.5x explain the error tahila made while

Tasya [4]

The equation of the line will be (assuming the y-intercept equal to zero):

y = 2.5*x

<h3>What is Tahila's mistake?</h3>

We know that we have a linear equation of the form:

y = a*x + b

Such that we know that the line passes through (-3, -7.5), notice that the proposed equation is:

y = 0.5*x

If you evaluate that in -3, you get:

y = 0.5*-3 = -1.5

So this line does not pass through (-3, -7.5).

If we assume that b = 0 in the linear equation, then we can find the value of a as:

-7.5 = a*-3

a = 7.5/3 = 2.5

Then the linear equation is:

y = 2.5*x

What are the roots of the polynomial equation

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

-4 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the determinant:

D = b^2 - 4ac = 49 - 48 = 1

Apply the formula:

x = (-b +- sqrt(D))/2a = (-7 +- 1)/2 = -4 or -3

The owner of a cattle ranch would like to fence in a rectangular area of 3000000 m^2 and then divide it in half with a fence dow

Reika [66]

If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now $\bf \begin{cases}
A=l\cdot w\\\\\
A=3000000\\
----------\\
3000000=l\cdot w\\\\
\frac{3000000}{w}=l
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}
\\\\\\
P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the critical points are at }
\begin{cases}
0=w^2\\\\
0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\end{cases}$

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the $0=w^2\implies 0=w$ so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other

What is the probability of choosing a card from a deck of cards that is a heart or a nine?

Mila [183]

8 out of 52. There are 4 nine cards and 4 heart cards. There are 52 cards in the standard deck. So it is an 8 out of 52 chance that you will choose either a heart or a nine.
