Answer:

  B. {16, 19, 20}

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>triangle inequality</em> requires for any sides a, b, c you must have ...

  a + b > c

  b + c > a

  c + a > b

The net result of those requirements are ...

  • the sum of the two shortest sides must be greater than the longest side
  • the length of the third side lies between the difference and sum of the other two sides

__

If we look at the offered side length choices, we see ...

  A: 8+11 = 19 . . . not > 19; not a triangle

  B: 16+19 = 35 > 20; could be a triangle

  C: 3+4 = 7 . . . not > 8; not a triangle

  D: 5+5 = 10 . . . not > 11; not a triangle

The side lengths {16, 19, 20} could represent the sides of a triangle.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The version of triangle inequality shown above ensures that a triangle will have non-zero area.

The alternative version of the triangle inequality uses ≥ instead of >. Triangles where a+b=c will look like a line segment--they will have zero area. Many authors disallow this case. (If it were allowed, then {8, 11, 19} would also be a "triangle.")

Find an explicit formula for g(n)
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

g(n) = 2n + 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

g(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given the recursive formula

g(n) = g(n - 1) + 2 ← with d = 2 and a₁ = 51, then

g(n) = 51 + 2(n - 1) = 51 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 49 ← explicit formula

Seven years ago, Gaetano found a box of old baseball cards in the garage. Since then, he has addeda consistent number of cards t
AURORKA [14]
Baseball cards

We know two things:

Gaetano had 52 cards on 3 years

Gaetano had 108 cards on 7 years

Then, from the fourth year to the seventh year he added

108 - 52 = 56 cards

In four years he added 56 cards. Then each year he added

56/4 = 14 cards

Since

14 * 3 = 42

On the first three years he added 42 cards to his collection.

Then he started with

52 - 42 = 10 cards

Answer: Gaetano started his collection with 10 cards and he adds 14 new cards to it each year
