A bag contains 5 pieces of string. The lengths of the pieces of string are 1 inch, 3 inches, 5 inches, 7 inches, and 9 inches. Suppose you pick three pieces of string from the bag at random and all pieces are equally likely to be chosen. What is the probability you can form a triangle with the three pieces

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possible combinations of sticks that can be drawn from a group of 5 strings

 

5C3 = (5*4*3)/(3*2)   = 10 combinations, which are

1,3,5 ; 1,3,7 ; 1,3,9 ; 1,5,7 ; 1,5,9 ; 1,7,9 ; 3,5,7 ; 3,5,9 ; 3,7,9 ; 5,7,9

 

to make a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side and if you look at the possible combinations there are only three cases where that is true

 

so the probability for drawing three sticks that would make a triangle is 3/10 or 30%

Which system of equations is represented by the graph?

Answers

Answer:

               [tex]y=x\\\\y=\dfrac{-x+10}{x-4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Red line is increasing and for any x goes the same y, so it's y = x

The blue graph is  [tex]y=\dfrac a{x-h}+k[/tex], where h=4 and k =-1 and for x=5 also y=5

It gives:

               [tex]5=\dfrac a{5-4}+(-1)\\5=a-1\\a=6[/tex]

So:

      [tex]y=\dfrac6{x-4}-1 =\dfrac6{x-4}-\dfrac{x-4}{x-4} =\dfrac{6-x+4}{x-4}=\dfrac{-x+10}{x-4}[/tex]

Make up an expression of your own that satisfies the following:
Must have at least: 4 terms, 1 constant, 2 variables with coefficients and appropriate
operation signs.

Answers

There are infinitely many ways to answer this as there is no one single answer to pick from.

Here is one possible answer:   x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x + 12

The four terms are x^3, 5x^2, 7x and 12. They are separated by the plus signs.

The constant is 12. It does not have any variable attached to it.

Terms 5x^2 and 7x have coefficients of 5 and 7 respectively.

The leading term x^3 has a coefficient of 1, but 1*x^3 = x^3, meaning it's convention to leave the 1 out. So technically x^3 does not have a coefficient directly written/shown. Instead, its more implied.

1. ABCD is a quadrilateral in which angle A = angle C and angle B = angle D
Prove that, if the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal, then the quadrilateral is a
parallelogram.

Answers

Answer:

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement,                                       Reason

∠A = ∠C,                                          Given

∠B = ∠D,                                          Given

Therefore, we have

∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°,            Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral

2×∠A + 2×∠B = 360°,                         Substitution property of equality

∴ ∠A + ∠B = 360°/2 = 180°

∠A + ∠B, are supplementary  angles,   Angles that sum up to 180°

Similarly,

∠C + ∠D, are supplementary  angles,   Angles that sum up to 180°

Therefore, segment DA is parallel to segment BC, (Lines with supplementary angles on the same side of the transversal)

Similarly, given ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D, we have;

∠A + ∠D and ∠C + ∠B are supplementary  angles,   Angles that sum up to 180°

Therefore, segment AB is parallel to segment DC, (Lines with supplementary angles on the same side of the transversal)

Therefore;

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, quadrilateral with parallel opposite sides.

Answer:

The equivalent expression for this equation is x²¹ × y⁻²¹

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are multiplying exponents that are in parentheses, you multiply the exponential numbers together. So, for this problem, we will multiply the exponents together so we can get our final equivalent expression.

(x⁻³ × y³)⁻⁷

So, we will multiply -3 by -7 and we will also multiply 3 by -7 because those are our exponential numbers.

x²¹ × y⁻²¹

So, this is the final expression that is equivalent to our equation.

The expression (x⁻³.y³)⁻⁷ is equivalent to x ²¹ . y ⁻²¹.

Answers

Answer: Choice A) 29.5

This value is approximate.

=========================================================

Work Shown:

First we need to find angle C

A+B+C = 180

46+73+C = 180

119+C = 180

C = 180 - 119

C = 61

This is not the final answer, so answer choice B is likely a trick/trap answer.

We'll use this angle value to help find side c. Use the law of sines

c/sin(C) = b/sin(B)

c/sin(61) = (32.3)/sin(73)

c = sin(61)*(32.3)/sin(73)

c = 29.5410185554849 which is approximate

c = 29.5 which points us to choice A as the final answer.

Which is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Answers

Answer:18.87

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the hypotenuse of a triangle, A^2 + B^2 = C^2 if A and B are sides and C is the Hypotenuse. 100 + 256 is 356, so C^2 is 356. to find C, we square root both sides. thus C^2 becomes C, and 356 becomes the square root of 356, which is 18.8679623... and rounded to the nearest 10th of a centimeter that's 18.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of 2x + 11 = 5x + 16, you should have put 2x+11 = 5x - 16. There is a sign change right before the 16, and you may have accidentally written down +16 instead of -16. I think that's where the problem is.

2x + 11 = 5x - 16

subtract 5x from both sides to make all variables on one side

-3x + 11 = -16

subtract 11 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

-3x = -27

divide both sides by -3 to isolate x

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, we know that if the equation is

   [tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Then the vertex is the the point (h,k)

Here, the vertex is the point (-2,-20) so we can write, a being a real number that we will have to find,

[tex]y=a(x-(-2))^2-20=a(x+2)^2-20[/tex]

On the other hand, we know that the y-intercept is (0,-12) so we can write

[tex]-20=a(0+2)^2-12=4a-12\\\\\text{We add 12 and we divide by 4.}\\\\4a = -20+12=-8\\\\a = \dfrac{-8}{4}=-2[/tex]

So the equation becomes.

[tex]\boxed{y=-2(x+2)^2-12}[/tex]

And we can give the standard form as below.

[tex]y=-2(x+2)^2-12=-2(x^2+4x+4)-12\\\\=-2x^2-8x-8-12 \ <=>\\\\\boxed{y=-2x^2-8x-20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Given function is,

  [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x-1}+3[/tex]

  It the given function 'f' is transformed by a translation of 2 units to the right, the new function will be,

h(x) = f(x - 2)

h(x) = [tex]\frac{1}{(x-2)-1}+3[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}+3[/tex]

Further the new function is translated by 6 units down,

g(x) = h(x) - 6

g(x) = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}+3-6[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}-3[/tex]

Since, transformed function 'g' passes through a point (x, -2),

g(x) = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}-3[/tex]

-2 = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}-3[/tex]  

3 - 2 = [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}[/tex]

x - 3 = 1

x = 4

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

The base of a right triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 meters per hour and the height is decreasing at a rate of 3 meters per hour. When the base is 9 meters and the height is 22 meters, then how fast is the HYPOTENUSE changing

Answers

Answer:

dL/dt  = - 2,019 m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

L²  =  x²  +  y²   (1)    Where  x, and  y are the legs of the right triangle and L the hypotenuse

If the base of the triangle, let´s call x is increasing at the rate of 2 m/h

then  dx/dt =  2 m/h. And the height is decreasing at the rate of 3 m/h or dy/dt = - 3 m/h

If we take differentials on both sides of the equation (1)

2*L*dL/dt = 2*x*dx/dt  + 2*y*dy/dt

L*dL/dt  = x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt         (2)

When  the base is 9  and the height is 22 according to equation (1) the hypotenuse is:

L = √ (9)² + (22)²       ⇒    L = √565       ⇒  L  = 23,77

Therefore we got all the information to get dL/dt .

L*dL/dt  = x*dx/dt + y*dy/dt

23,77 * dL/dt  = 9*2 + 22* ( - 3)

dL/dt  =  ( 18 - 66 ) / 23,77

dL/dt  = - 2,019 m/h

Using implicit differentiation and the Pythagorean Theorem, it is found that the hypotenuse is changing at a rate of -2.02 meters per hour.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse h is the sum of the squares of the base x and of the height h, hence:

[tex]h^2 = x^2 + y^2[/tex]

In this problem, [tex]x = 9, y = 22[/tex], hence, the hypotenuse is:

[tex]h^2 = 9^2 + 22^2[/tex]

[tex]h = \sqrt{9^2 + 22^2}[/tex]

[tex]h = 23.77[/tex]

Applying implicit differentiation, the rate of change is given by:

[tex]2h\frac{dh}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Simplifying by 2:

[tex]h\frac{dh}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

The rates of change given are: [tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 2, \frac{dy}{dt} = -3[/tex].

We want to find [tex]\frac{dh}{dt}[/tex], hence:

[tex]h\frac{dh}{dt} = x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]23.77\frac{dh}{dt} = 9(2) + 22(-3)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{18 - 66}{23.77}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -2.02[/tex]

The hypotenuse is changing at a rate of -2.02 meters per hour.
