Answer:

B. Yes, because 6 + 11 ≠ 13.

Step-by-step explanation: So for this one, you have to add two numbers and if the third number is bigger it is a possible construct but if it less than the third number than it is not a possible construct. So 6+ 11 = 17 (its good so far) 11 + 13 = 24(its good so far) 13 + 6 = 19( its good so far) everything checks out that means B is right. And also it is not D because that is saying 6 + 11 is less than 13 which is wrong. Hope this helps someone :)

Find the surface area of the prism.

Lunna [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

area of the base is the area of the rectangle 5×12.

B = 5×12 = 60 in²

the height h is then the side going up from that base rectangle : 4 in.

the perimeter of the base (rectangle) is 2×length + 2×width

P = 2×12 + 2×5 = 24 + 10 = 34 in.

What is the rate of change for the linear function f(x)=-2x-5 over any interval?

julia-pushkina [17]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. By definition, the rate of change of a linear function is the slope of the line and it is constant. Based on this, you must find the slope of the given function.

2. You have the equation of the line has the following form:

$y=mx+b$

Where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

3. Then, you have that the slope of the function $f(x)=-2x-5$ is:

$m=-2$

Therefore, the answer is: $-2$

What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial?<br> 15x^4 – 26x^3 – 18x^6 – 19x^7

Oliga [24]

Answer:

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation from highest exponent to lowest:

-19x^7-18x^6+15x^4-26x^3

Coefficients are the numbers in front of the exponent, so the leading coefficient is what is attached to the highest exponent value.

-19x^7 is the highest exponent, so -19 is the highest coefficient.

Answer: 7.5

Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.

Length of ABCD Length of QRST

8/5 = 12/x

Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5
