Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5

Area=1/2 times base times height
height=2x-3
base=8

area=72
72=1/2 times (2x-3) times 8
72=(2x-3) times 4
divide both sides by 4
18=2x-3
add 3 to both sides
21=2x
divide both sides by 2
21/2=x
x=21/2=10.5

The air Temperature is -12C at sunrise and rises 4 degrees c every hour for several hours the air temperature after x hours is r

Stolb23 [73]

Let f(x) = y.

y = 4x - 12

Let x = 0

y = 4(0) - 12

y = - 12

This leads to the point (0, -12).

Let y = 0.

0 = 4x - 12

1 2 = 4x

12/4 = x

3 = x

This leads to the point (3, 0).

We now graph both points and then connect each point with a straight line.

Which of the following best describes the set of all numbers of the form a+bi where a and b are any real numbers and i equals sq

Andrei [34K]

<h3>Answer: B) Complex numbers</h3>

Complex numbers are always in the form a+bi with 'a' and 'b' as real numbers.

If b = 0 and 'a' is nonzero, then a+bi = a+0i = a which is strictly a real number

If a = 0 and b is nonzero, then a+bi = 0+bi = bi indicating that the number is now purely imaginary
