Your teacher recently found an old Nintendo in a thrift store. Use the formula to predict the value of the Nintendo in 2020. (Re

member, x is the years after 1986, and y is the
value, in $.) Do you think this is a realistic prediction of the value of that Nintendo?
Formula- f(x) = 3x^2 - 40x + 180

The value of the Nintendo after 35 years is $2455

Since the formula f(x) = 3x² - 40x + 180 predicts the value of the Nintendo x years after 1986.

Since we require the value in 2021, x years after 1986 is 2021 - 1986 = 35 years.

Substituting x = 35 into the equation, we have

f(x) = 3x² - 40x + 180

f(x) = 3(35)² - 40(35) + 180

f(x) = 3(1225) - 40(35) + 180

f(x) = 3675 - 1400 + 180

f(x) = 2275 + 180

f(x) = 2455

So, the value of the Nintendo after 35 years is $2455

Do you think this is a realistic prediction of the value of that Nintendo?

This is not a realistic prediction for the value of the Nintendo, because, it is too high.

Which of the following does NOT describe a rational number? A- Non-repeating decimal B- Perfect square (ex: square root of 4) C-

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Non-repeating decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

As a example, 32.93729, would be a never ending number. Which means it's not a rational number, it is a irrational number.

Which is the closest to the area that is painted blue? A 308 units B. 116 units C. 463 units? D 124 units

Charra [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, all answer options are basically wrong, because an area is always measured in units² (and not just in units).

the blue colored area is the area of the whole square minus the area of the circle.

the side length of the square is 2 times the radius of the circle (the diameter) : 2×12 = 24 units.

so, the area of the square is

24² = 576 units²

the are of the circle is

pi×r² = pi×12² = 144pi units²

so, the blue area is

576 - 144pi = 123.6106579... ≈ 124 units²

therefore, D is the right answer.

Find the length of each side of the triangle determined by the three points P1,P2, and P3. State whether the triangle is an isos

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The triangle is both an Isosceles triangle and a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of a triangle.

$P_{1} = (- 1, 4)$

$P_{2} = (6, 2)$ and

$P_{3} = (4, - 5)$

We find the distance between all the points to determine the length of each side of the triangle.

Distance between any two points, say, $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is:

$\sqrt{\bigg ( \textbf{x}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- x}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg )^{\textbf{2}} \textbf{+} \bigg( \textbf{y}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- y}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg)^ {\textbf{2}}$

Length between $P_1$ and $P_{2}$ , (Side 1) :

$(x_1, y_1) = (- 1, 4)$ and

$(x_2, y_2) = (6, 2)$

Distance = $\sqrt{\bigg(6 - (-1) \bigg)^{2} \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( 2 - 4 \bigg )^2$

$= \sqrt{7^2 + 2^2}$

$= \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$= \sqrt{\textbf{53}}$

Length of Side 1 = $\sqrt{\textbf{53}}$ units.

Distance between $P_1$ and $P_2$ , (Side 2):

$(x_1, y_1) = (-1, 4)$

$(x_2, y_2) = (4, - 5)$

Distance = $\sqrt{ \bigg( 4 + 1 \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} + \bigg( - 5 - 4 \bigg ) ^2$

$= \sqrt{ 25 + 81 }$

$= \sqrt{\textbf{106}}$

Length of Side 2 = $\sqrt{\textbf{106}}$ units.

Distance between $P_2$ and $P_3$ , Side 3 :

$(x_1, y_1) = (4, 5)$

$(x_2, y_2) = (6, 2)$

Distance = $\sqrt{ 2^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} 7^2}$

$= \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$= \sqrt{\textbf{53}$

Length of Side 3 = $\sqrt{\textbf{53}}$ units.

Note that the length of Side 1 = Length of Side 3.

That means the triangle is Isosceles.

Also, For a triangle to be right angle triangle, using Pythagoras theorem we have:

(Side 1)² + (Side 3)² = (Side 2)²

$\bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg )^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} = \hspace{1mm} \bigg ( \sqrt{106} \bigg ) ^2$

i.e, 53 + 53 = 106

Hence, the triangle is a right - angled triangle as well.
