The sides of the triangle are given as 1, x, and x².
The principle of triangle inequality requires that the sum of the lengths of any two sides should be equal to, or greater than the third side.
Consider 3 cases
Case (a): x < 1,
Then in decreasing size, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x² + x ≥ 1
Solve x² + x - 1 =
x = 0.5[-1 +/- √(1+4)] = 0.618 or -1.618.
Reject the negative length.
Therefore, the lengths are 0.382, 0.618 and 1.
Case (b): x = 1
This creates an equilateral triangle with equal sides
The sides are 1, 1 and 1.
Case (c): x>1
In increasing order, the lengths are 1, x, and x².
We require that x + 1 ≥ x²
Solve x² - x - 1 = 0
x = 0.5[1 +/- √(1+4)] = 1.6118 or -0.618
Reject the negative answr.
The lengths are 1, 1.618 and 2.618.
Answer:
The possible lengths of the sides are
(a) 0.382, 0.618 and 1
(b) 1, 1 and 1.
(c) 2.618, 1.618 and 1.
Answer 6 dollars and 52 cents
Step-by-step explanation: 6 1/4 = (6.25)
40.75/6.25 = 6.52 per unit price
Answer:
9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
the quotient of -3/8 and -1/3
= (-3/8) / (-1/3)
= (-3/8) x (-3/1)
= 9/8
Answer:
<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
For the standard form equation to model the values in the table, each value of x in the table should give the matching the y value when substituted into the equation. We will test each equation:
<u>
for (-2,4)</u>
This does not give 4 as the answer and is not a solution.
<u> for (-2,4)</u>
This does give 4 as the answer and is a possible solution.
<u>
for (-2,4)</u>
This does not give 4 as the answer and is not a solution.
<u>
for (-2,4)</u>
This does not give 4 as the answer and is not a solution.
The only possible solution is <u></u>
