Answer:

If the height is tripled and the area is 12 times larger, the base would be 8 times larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle = 1/2(base × height)

If the area is 1 foot and the height is 1 foot, that means the base is 2 feet, since 1 = 1/2(2 × 1)

Now, if the height is tripled and the area is 12 times larger, then the base would have to be 8 feet, since 12 = 1/2(8 × 3)

Answer:

A. 4x² - 2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x² + 6) - (2x - 5) =

Drop the first set of parentheses since it is unnecessary.

= 4x² + 6 - (2x - 5)

To drop the second set of parentheses, you must change every sign inside the parentheses.

= 4x² + 6 - 2x + 5

Now combine like terms.

= 4x² - 2x + 11

in 1990 Jamaica's population of 2,466,000 was expected to grow exponentially by 1.1% each year. what is the range of the exponen

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Initial population is 2,466,000 ( p0 )

Growth is 1.1% each year ( r=1.1

p(t)=p0(1+r)t

After 30 years, the population of Jamaica should be 3.42 million by that calculation, but it is only 2.95 million, so apparently that growth rate was a little high, or wasn’t sustained.

Solve x^2 - x - 5/2 = 0 using the quadratic formula.

Soloha48 [4]

Using the quadratic formula, we have:

$\frac{1+- \sqrt{11} }{2}$ , so our solutions are $\frac{1+ \sqrt{11} }{2}$ and $\frac{1- \sqrt{11} }{2}$ .
