Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest side be x, then the longest side = 2x.

Also  x + y = 2x  + 1   where y = length of the middle side,

Simplifying:

2x - x - y = -1

x - y = -1        (A)

Also as the perimeter = 7:

x + 2x + y = 7

3x + y = 7       (B)

Adding (A) and (B):

4x + 0 = 6

x = 6/4 = 1.5

Plug x = 1.5 into equation B:

3(1.5) + y = 7

y = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5.

Answer:

So the shortest side = 1.5, middle = 2.5 and longest = 2*1.5 = 3.

casey ran a 75 meter race in 10 seconds her distances at certain times during the race are shown in the table . what is the doma
Troyanec [42]
The domain of the graph is everything x is allowed to equal. Parentheses are used to show that x can be everything up to, but not including that number. Brackets are used to show x can be anything up to, and including, that number. The comma between the two numbers indicates that x can be anything between those two numbers.

Here, the time goes on the x axis and the distance will go on the y axis.
Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
<span>Distance: 0.0 5.5 12.0 20.0 28.5 36.0 44.0 56.5 64.0 75.0
</span>
Since we are dealing with the domain, we really only need to focus on the time.
Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

From this, we see that the values go from 0 to 10. This means that x can be anything from 0 to 10. Because there are y values that correlate with the numbers 0 and 10, we know that the domain will include 0 and 10. This indicates we must use brackets. 

Knowing all of this information, we can now write our domain as:
[0, 10]
