Answer:

area = 6.5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <em>area of a triangle in coordinate geometry</em> formula:

$\triangle GHI =\frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2- y_3) + x_2(y_3 -y_1) + x_3(y_1 -y_2)|$

where $(x_1,y_1)=(-8,-8) \ \ \ \ (x_2,y_2)=(-6,-7) \ \ \ \ (x_3,y_3)=(-9,-2)$

$\triangle GHI =\frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2- y_3) + x_2(y_3 -y_1) + x_3(y_1 -y_2)|$

$\implies \triangle GHI =\frac{1}{2} |-8(-7+2) -6(-2 +8) -9(-8 +7)|$

$\implies \triangle GHI =\frac{1}{2} |40 -36 +9|$

$\implies \triangle GHI =6.5$

Triangle JKL has vertices J(2,5), K(1,1), and L(5,2). Triangle QNP has vertices Q(-4,4), N(-3,0), and P(-7,1). Is (triangle)JKL

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Yes they are

Step-by-step explanation:

In the triangle JKL, the sides can be calculated as following:

J(2;5); K(1;1)

=> JK = $\sqrt{(1-2)^{2} + (1-5)^{2} } = \sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}$

J(2;5); L(5;2)

=> JL = $\sqrt{(5-2)^{2} + (2-5)^{2} } = \sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2} } = \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}$

K(1;1); L(5;2)

=> KL = $\sqrt{(5-1)^{2} + (2-1)^{2} } = \sqrt{4^{2}+1^{2} } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}$

In the triangle QNP, the sides can be calculate as following:

Q(-4;4); N(-3;0)

=> QN = $\sqrt{[-3-(-4)]^{2} + (0-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{1^{2}+(-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{1+16}=\sqrt{17}$

Q (-4;4); P(-7;1)

=> QP = $\sqrt{[-7-(-4)]^{2} + (1-4)^{2} } = \sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(-3)^{2} } = \sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}$

N(-3;0); P(-7;1)

=> NP = $\sqrt{[-7-(-3)]^{2} + (1-0)^{2} } = \sqrt{(-4)^{2}+1^{2} } = \sqrt{16+1}=\sqrt{17}$

It can be seen that QPN and JKL have: JK = QN; JL = QP; KL = NP

=> They are congruent triangles

Given the functionf ( x ) = x^2 + 7 x + 10/ x^2 + 9 x + 20

vladimir1956 [14]

<em>x = -4 is a vertical asymptote for the function.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The graph of $y=f(x)$ is a vertical has an asymptote at $x=a$ if at least one of the following statements is true:

$1) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{-}}{lim}f(x)=\infty\\ \\ 2) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{-}}{lim}f(x)=-\infty \\ \\ 3) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\infty \\ \\ 4) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\infty$

The function is:

$f(x)=\frac{x^2+7x+10}{x^2+9x+20}$

First of all, let't factor out:

$f(x)=\frac{x^2+5x+2x+10}{x^2+5x+4x+20} \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{x(x+5)+2(x+5)}{x(x+5)+4(x+5)} \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{(x+5)(x+4)} \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}, \ x\neq 5$

From here:

$\bullet \ When \ x \ approaches \ -4 \ on \ the \ right: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{+}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=? \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{+}}{lim}\frac{(-4^{+}+2)}{(-4^{+}+4)} \\ \\ \\ The \ numerator \ is \ negative \ and \ the \ denominator \\ is \ a \ small \ positive \ number. \ So: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{+}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=-\infty$

$\bullet \ When \ x \ approaches \ -4 \ on \ the \ left: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{-}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=? \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{-}}{lim}\frac{(-4^{-}+2)}{(-4^{-}+4)} \\ \\ \\ The \ numerator \ is \ a \ negative \ and \ the \ denominator \\ is \ a \ small \ negative \ number \ too. \ So: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{-}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=+\infty$
