A triangle has one side that measures x, and the other two sides each measure 4 inches less than x. The perimeter is 19 inches.

What is the measure of x?
(A) 2
(B) 3
(C) 5
(D) 9 ...?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Final answer:

To find the value of x in a triangle where one side is x and the other two are each 4 inches less than x with a perimeter of 19 inches, set up an equation and solve it to find that x = 9 inches. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

The question involves finding the value of x when a triangle has one side that measures x, and the other two sides each measure 4 inches less than x. The perimeter of the triangle is given as 19 inches.

To solve this, we use the formula for the perimeter of a triangle, which is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Therefore, the equation can be set up as:

x + (x - 4) + (x - 4) = 19

Simplifying this equation:

Combine like terms: 3x - 8 = 19Add 8 to both sides: 3x = 27Divide both sides by 3: x = 9

Therefore, the measure of x is 9 inches which corresponds to option D.

This problem is a basic algebra problem that requires understanding of how to set up equations based on given conditions and solving them to find unknown variables.

When working with the square root of a number, when would you have only a positive answer and when would you have both a positive and negative answer?

Answers

Lets make it clear: You would have a positive answer when the value you are looking for has to be a positive number. On the other hand you would have a positive and a negative answer when you take the square root of something that doesn't have to be positive. it could be either because when a negative number is squared it becomes positive and when a positive number is squared it stays positive as well.

A is not correct because h has to be less than 7 hours. it also has to be greater than 9 hours so this condition isnt fulfilled.

write y=2x+3 using function notation

Answers

f(x)=2x+3. easy as that, just replace y with f(x)

Answer:

[tex]f(x) = 2x+3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) is the another way of representing the y-values in the function

i.e

[tex]y=f(x)[/tex]

Then y-axis be labeled with f(x)  

Also; the ordered pair is written as: (x, f(x)) instead of (x, y)

Given the equation:

[tex]y = 2x+3[/tex]

replace y = f(x)

then;

[tex]f(x) = 2x+3[/tex]

therefore, the equation  y=2x+3 using function notation is, [tex]f(x) = 2x+3[/tex]

b) (5/4, 1)
c) (3/4, 1)
d) (4/3, 7/12)
...?

Answers

if O is the orthocenter, O=(xo, yo)
such that xo=(2+0 + 2)/3, so xo= 4/3, so the answer must be

d) (4/3, 7/12)

Answer:

The orthocenter of the triangle is [tex](\frac{5}{4},1)[/tex] and option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ends of the base of an isosceles triangle are at (2,0) & (0,1).

Orthocentre of the triangle is the intersection point of all three altitudes from its vertices.

First find any two altitudes, then find intersection point of altitudes.

The equation of a side is x=2, which is an vertical line. The opposite vertices of this side is (0,1), so the perpendicular line is a horizontal line. The equation of first altitude is

[tex]y=1[/tex]                              .... (1)

In an isosceles triangle, then attitude is the median of non-equal side. It means the altitude is passing through the midpoint of base side.

[tex]Midpoint=(\frac{2+0}{2},\frac{0+1}{2})=(1,0.5)[/tex]

Slope of base side is

[tex]m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1-0}{0-2}=-0.5[/tex]

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

[tex]m_1\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]-0.5\times m_2=-1[/tex]

[tex]m_2=2[/tex]

The point slope form of a line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where, m is slope.

The slope of second altitude is 2 and it passing through the pint (1,0.5), therefore the equation of second altitude is

[tex]y-0.5=2(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y=2x-1.5[/tex]                ..... (2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get

[tex]x=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y=1[/tex]

Therefore the orthocenter of the triangle is [tex](\frac{5}{4},1)[/tex] and option b is correct.

_______________________________________________

Given the two points (2,4) and (-3,2), what is the slope of the line that goes through both of these points?

Answers

With the formula: m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) you can sub in the values to get the slope (m).

m=(4-2)/(2-(-3))
   = 2/5

Therefore the slope is 2/5.
for points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
the slope of the line going through those points is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(2,4) and (-3,2)
x1=2
y1=4
x2=-3
y2=2

slope=(2-4)/(-3-2)=-2/-5=2/5

A recipe calls for 6 quarts of water. Michael put 1 gallon of water in the bowl and realized that he made a mistake. Michael should ___.

-Remove 2 cups.
-Add 1 gallon.
-Add 2 quarts.
-Add 2 pints.

Answers

Final answer:

-Add 2 quarts. Michael incorrectly used gallons instead of quarts for his recipe. Since 1 gallon equals 4 quarts, he simply needs to add 2 more quarts to the existing gallon to meet the recipe's requirement of 6 quarts.

Explanation:

The question involves unit conversion between gallons and quarts. Since the recipe calls for 6 quarts of water and Michael has already put 1 gallon (which is 4 quarts) into the bowl, he needs to add more water to reach the required amount.

A gallon is equivalent to 4 quarts, so Michael should add 2 quarts more to the 4 quarts he already has, totaling the 6 quarts needed for the recipe.

Answers

Answer:

A. {2,3,5,7,11,13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, prime numbers are the whole numbers which have only two multiple which are 1 and itself.

Thus, the prime numbers are,

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, ..................

Note : 1 is not a prime number because it has only one multiple i.e. 1.

or it does not satisfy the definition of prime number.

Thus, the prime numbers that are less than 15,

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13

Which are the elements of the set S,

Hence, S = { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 }

Michael breeds chickens and ducks. last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. this month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532. how much does a chicken cost, and how much does a duck cost?

Answers

n the following step there is a multiplication error: 
50c + 1330/3 - 110/3c = 550 
150c + 1330 - 330c = 1650 
110/3 was multiplied by 3 twice instead of once. It should just be 110 

Continuing onward... 
150c + 1330 - 110c = 1650 
40c = 320 
c = 8

Hexagon DEFGHI is translated 8 units down and 3 units to the right. If the coordinates of the pre-image of point F are
(–9, 2), what are the coordinates of F'?

(–17, 5)
(–6, –6)
(–17, –1)
(–12, –6)

Answers

Answer:
(-6,-6)

Explanation:
The xy coordinate grid is shown in the attached image.
As we can see:
1- moving down the the y-axis means that we are moving towards the negative direction. This means that we will subtract the translated units from the original y-value to get the y-value of the image
We are given that the point was translated 8 units down and that the original y-coordinate was 2.
This means that:
y-coordinate of image = y-coordinate of original point - translated units
y-coordinate of image = 2 - 8
y-coordinate of image = -6

2- moving to the right of the x-axis means that we are moving towards the positive direction.This means that we will add the translated units to the original x-value to get the x-value of the image.
We are given that the point was translated 3 units to the right and that the original x-coordinate was -9.
This means that:
x-coordinate of image = x-coordinate of original point + translated units
x-coordinate of image = -9 + 3
x-coordinate of image = -6

Based on the above, the coordinates of the image are (-6,-6)

Hope this helps :)
