Since you didn't provide the expressions, let X denote the prize money for the first position. Consequently, the amount for the second position would be X - 50, since <span>each place below first receives $50 less than the previous place. The amount for third place would then be X - 100.

Thus, the total prize money can be calculated by summing these amounts: X + (X - 50) + (X - 100) = 3X - 150.</span>

Joaquin is constructing the perpendicular bisector of AB. He opens his
Zina [3914]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct the perpendicular bisector, follow these steps:

Step 1:

Set the compass to a distance greater than half the length of segment AB, place it on point A, and draw an arc across AB.

Step 2:

Keeping the same width, place the compass on point B and create another arc across AB.

Step 3:

With the ruler, connect the two intersection points of the arcs by drawing a line.

Step 4:

This line will be the perpendicular bisector of the segment AB.

Thus, option A is the correct choice.

Explain two ways you could solve 20 = 5(-3 + x)
Leona [4166]

Answer:

The solution to your inquiry can be found below

Step-by-step explanation:

First method

                      20 = 5(-3 + x)                   expanding this equation

                     20 = -15 + 5x                    combine like terms

                     5x = 20 + 15

                     5x = 35                            dividing by 5

                     5x/5 = 35/5

                     x = 7

Second method

                     20/5 = 5/5 (-3 + x)          divide both sides by 5

                     4  = -3 + x                        adding 3 to both sides

                     4 + 3 = -3 + 3 + x            simplifying

                     7 = x

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the t
Leona [4166]

B refers to the base of the triangle,
and a signifies the length of the two identical sides.


The measurement labeled as 'a' is larger than 'b' since those equal sides are longer than the base. Given "one of the longer sides measures 6.3 cm," we assign a = 6.3.


Substitute 6.3 for each 'a' in the equation and solve for b:
2a + b = 15.7
2(6.3) + b = 15.7
12.6 + b = 15.7
b = 15.7 - 12.6 (applying subtraction property of equality)
b = 3.1

The graph of the function f(x) = (x – 4)(x + 1) is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (neg
tester [3916]

Answer:

The function decreases across all real numbers x where x < 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

f(x)=(x-4)(x+1)

f(x)=x^2+x-4x-4

f(x)=x^2-3x-4

This represents an upward-opening vertical parabola

The vertex denotes a minimum point

The vertex is located at (1.5,-6.25)

We know that

The function is decreasing within the interval ----> (-∞, 1.5) x < 1.5

This means----> the function is continuously decreasing for all real x values under 1.5

Conversely, the function is increasing within the interval ----> (1.5, ∞) x> 1.5

Thus, for all real x values greater than 1.5, the function is increasing

Check the attached figure for further clarification

Therefore

The true statement is

The function decreases across all real numbers x where x < 1.5.
