Answer:

  • shortest: 13 in
  • middle: 17 in
  • longest: 23 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the shortest side. Then the longest side is (s+10) and the middle side is (s+(s+10)-19). The perimeter is the sum of the sides.

  s + (2s-9) +(s+10) = 53

  4s +1 = 53

  s = (53 -1)/4 = 13

The side lengths are ...

  • shortest: 13 in
  • middle: 17 in
  • longest: 23 in

The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the diameter (x), in mm, and mass f(x), in grams, of a berry: ordered pair
kkurt [141]
The function would be f (x) = 0.4x - 4.

Explanation
We can see that this is linear, since it increases at a constant rate.  We find the slope using the formula
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (0.8-0.4)/(12-11) = 0.4/1 = 0.4

We use point-slope form to write the initial equation:

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)
y-0.4 = 0.4(x-11)

Using the distributive property:
y-0.4 = 0.4*x - 0.4*11
y-0.4 = 0.4x-4.4

Add 0.4 to both sides:
y-0.4+0.4 = 0.4x-4.4+0.4
y=0.4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(2x) + cos(3x)

Use double angle formula sin(2x) = 2 sin x cos x.

Use triple angle formula cos(3x) = 4 cos³x − 3 cos x.

Substitute:

2 sin x cos x + 4 cos³x − 3 cos x
