Answer: No, the triangles are not similar. They aren't even triangles.

Step-by-step explanation: A is a diamond, which cannot be considered a triangle until it is split in half. 8 and 9 would be a triangle if the diamond wouldn't have been there. B and C is a parallelogram.

The graph of which function has a minimum located at (4, –3)?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

None of the options is the answer to the question

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

case A) we have

$f(x)=x^{2}+4x-11$

In this case the x-coordinate of the vertex will be negative

therefore

case A is not the solution

case B) we have

$f(x)=-2x^{2}+16x-35$

This case is a vertical parabola open downward (the vertex is a maximum)

The vertex is the point $(4,-3)$ but is not a minimum

see the attached figure

therefore

case B is not the solution

case C) we have

$f(x)=x^{2}-4x+5$

Convert into vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)-5=x^{2}-4x$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)-5+4=(x^{2}-4x+4)$

$f(x)-1=(x^{2}-4x+4)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-1=(x-2)^{2}$

$f(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1$ --------> vertex form

The vertex is the point $(2,1)$

therefore

case C is not the solution

case D) we have

$f(x)=2x^{2}-16x+35$

Convert into vertex form

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$f(x)-35=2x^{2}-16x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$f(x)-35=2(x^{2}-8x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$f(x)-35+32=2(x^{2}-8x+16)$

$f(x)-3=2(x^{2}-8x+16)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$f(x)-3=2(x-4)^{2}$

$f(x)=2(x-4)^{2}+3$ --------> vertex form

The vertex is the point $(4,3)$

therefore

case D is not the solution

The answer to the question will be the function

$f(x)=2x^{2}-16x+29$

If x=17, then 27+x=y. What does y equal?

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

44=y

Step-by-step explanation:

27+x=y

We know x = 17, so we can substitute x=17 into the equation

27 + 17 = y

44=y

Let p: The shape is a rhombus. Let q: The diagonals are perpendicular. Let r: The sides are congruent. Which represents "The sha

Sloan [31]

Given that p represents "The shape is a rhombus", q represents "The diagonals are perpendicular", and r represents "The sides are congruent".

"if and only if" is represented using the biconditional logic operator (↔) and "and" is represented using the logical conjuction operator (∧).

Therefore, "The shape is a rhombus if and only if the diagonals are perpendicular and the sides are congruent” is represented by "p ↔ (q ∧ r)"

What is the answer to -2(7-y)+4=-

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

2y-10

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(7-y)+4

distribute:

=(-2)(7)+(-2)(-y)+4

= -14+2y+4

Combine like terms:

= -14+2y+4

=(2y)+(-14+4)

= 2y+-10
