the base of a triangle is five less than twice it’s height, if the area of the triangle is 6 cm^2, find the length of the base

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Base = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle =  [tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

Let h = height

base =  2 times the height - 5; b = 2h-5

Area = 6 cm²

 A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]

[tex]6 =\frac{1}{2}(2h - 5)(h)[/tex]             Multiply 2h(h) -5(h)

[tex]6 (2) = 2(\frac{1}{2})(2h^{2} - 5h[/tex]      Multiply both sides by 2 to remove the fraction

 12 = 2h²- 5h

2h ² -  5h  - 12 = 0                Set the equation = 0 and factor  

(2h + 3)(h - 4) = 0

2h + 3 = 0    or h - 4 = 0

2h = -3               h = 4

h = -3/2        or   h = 4        Answer can not be negative so h = 4cm

The base is 2(4) - 5; The base = 8 - 5; base = 3 cm

The triangles are equal/congruent because two angles and a side are the same values on both triangles.

What is the range of the graph

Answers

Answer:

You're correct the answer is B) [tex]-5 \leq y \leq -1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The key behind this problem is think about the function [tex]\sqrt[3]{x}[/tex] and think what happen when you plug in values in it.

So we're  going to try with some simply values for evaluate

[tex]\sqrt[3]{-8} = -2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[3]-1} = -1[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[3]{0} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[3]{1} = 1[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[3]{8} = 2[/tex]

How you can see when plug in a negative number the function return a negative number, but when you plug in a positive number the function return a positive number (this isn't a proof of this happen in each value of the given interval, but is a good way of demonstrate the relation). This means that when you plug in a value this value is greater than the value of before, so the function  is increasing it's outputs.

Now this is good because that's mean that the limits of the range are the limits of the domain evaluates in the function (because the smaller input give us the smaller output and the same with the greater). But the given function have different operation in it, so you have to interpret this operations of this way:

When you have a negative value in the [tex]x[/tex] like in this occasion ([tex]\sqrt[3]{-x}[/tex]) the function reflex it's values with respect to the y axis (image put the functions in a mirror a draw the given image in the same cartesian plane).And you have a -3 this is move each value of the function 3 units down.

So with this information you evaluate each limit of the domain [tex]\{-8, 8\}[/tex] in the function and get the limits for the range.  

[tex]f(-8) = \sqrt[3]{-(-8)} -3= \sqrt[3]{8} -3 = 2 -3 = -1[/tex]

[tex]f(8) = \sqrt[3]{-8} -3= -2 -3 = -5[/tex]

So the range of the function in the given interval is equal to [tex]\{-1, -5\}[/tex] in the interval notation is equal to [tex]-5 \leq y \leq -1[/tex]

Two consecutive numbers exist such that the sum of three times the first number and two less than the second number is equal to 144. What are third numbers

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

two consecutive numbers means that one is larger by 1 than the other number.

so, we have to choices depending on whether the first number (multiplied by 3) is the larger one, or the second number.

to show what I mean, let's start with the second number being the larger one.

we are dealing therefore with x and (x+1).

3x + (x+1) - 2 = 144

4x - 1 = 144

4x = 145

x = 145/4

this is not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).

so, it is actually not a valid solution.

therefore we are checking the other approach :

we are dealing therefore still with x and (x+1). but now we multiply the other number by 3.

3(x+1) + x - 2 = 144

4x + 1 = 144

4x = 143

x = 143/4

this is still not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).

so, it is actually not a valid solution either.

and now I am beginning to think you left out some important information in the question.

could it be these 2 numbers are consecutive even or consecutive uneven numbers ?

because then the difference between the both of them is 2 and not 1.

we are dealing therefore with x and (x+2). first attempt to make the smaller number the "first" number :

3x + (x+2) - 2 = 144

4x = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

ah ! now that looks different !

36 and 38 are valid solutions under the changed assumptions. and we are dealing with consecutive even numbers.

let's check :

36×3 + 38 - 2 = 36×3 + 36 = 36×4 = 144

correct.

and fun fact, if we turn this around and make the larger number the "first" number, we are still dealing with x and (x+2), but now we multiply the larger number by 3 :

3(x+2) + x - 2 = 144

4x + 6 - 2 = 144

4x + 4 = 144

4x = 140

x = 140/4 = 35

35 and 37 are also valid solutions under the new assumptions and two consecutive uneven numbers ...

so, please check what your original question (and maybe the headlines and description around it) says. and then pick the right solution.

what is the value of 8x + 2x when x is 6

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2x

x = 6

Substitute the value of x

8(6) + 2(6)

48 + 12

= 60

So basically 8x has a missing number and that missing number is 6 meaning that you need to multiply so you would multipy 8 times 6 and would get 48

Now that you have that answer you would do the next one which is 2 times 6 and thats 12 then you add 48 and 12 together making that 60 and your answer is 60.

Simpler

8 x 6 = 48

2 x 6 = 12

48 + 12 = 60
