Trapezoid $RSTU$ is a cross section of a lampshade. The diagonals of $RSTU$ are congruent, and the measure of $\angle S$ is $112

\degree$ . What is the measure of $\angle U$ ?

112°. The explanation step-by-step: As trapezoid RSTU has congruent diagonals, it qualifies as an Isosceles Trapezoid. A defining property of Isosceles Trapezoids is that the base angles are equivalent. Therefore, if angle S measures 112°, angle U must also measure 112°.

Answer:

$-7\geq x$ and $[-7,12)$ expressed in interval notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound inequality $-7x-50\leq -1\text{ and }-6x+70>-2$ has been provided. Our task is to determine the solution for this inequality.

Initially, we will address each inequality independently, followed by merging the findings by combining the overlapping intervals.

$-7x-50\leq -1$

$-7x-50+50\leq -1+50$

$-7x\leq 49$

By dividing with a negative number, it is necessary to reverse the inequality sign:

$\frac{-7x}{-7}\geq \frac{49}{-7}$

$x\geq -7$

$-6x+70>-2$

$-6x+70-70>-2-70$

$-6x>-72$

Again, dividing by a negative requires flipping the inequality sign:

$\frac{-6x}{-6}$

$x$

In combining both intervals, we will arrive at:

$-7\geq x$

Thus, the solution for the inequality provided is $-7\geq x$ and $[-7,12)$ in interval notation.

Two functions are shown in the table below. Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 f(x) = −x2 + 4x + 12 g(x) = −x + 6 Complete the table on your o

Svet_ta [12734]

For $\fbox{\begin \\\math{x}=6\\\end{minispace}}$ the function $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ both yield the same result.

Detailed breakdown:

The functions involved are

$f(x)=-x^{2}+4x+12$

$g(x)=-x+6$

Step 1:

Insert $x=1$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(1)$ .

$f(1)=-1^{2} +4(1)+12\\f(1)=-1+4+12\\f(1)=15$

Insert $x=1$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(1)$ .

$g(1)=-1+6\\g(1)=5$

Step 2:

Insert $x=2$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to obtain the value of $f(2)$ .

$f(2)=-2^{2} +4(2)+12\\f(2)=-4+8+12\\f(2)=16$

Substitute $x=2$ into $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(2)$ .

$g(2)=-2+6\\g(2)=4$

Step 3:

Replace $x=3$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(3)$ .

$f(3)=-3^{2} +4(3)+12\\f(3)=-9+12+12\\f(3)=15$

Also, replace $x=3$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(3)$ .

$g(3)=-3+6\\g(3)=3$

Step 4:

Insert $x=4$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(4)$ .

$f(4)=-4^{2} +4(4)+12\\f(4)=-16+16+12\\f(4)=12$

Also, replace $x=4$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to obtain the value of $g(4)$ .

$g(4)=-4+6\\g(4)=2$

Step 5:

Insert $x=5$ in $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to obtain the value of $f(5)$ .

$f(5)=-5^{2} +4(5)+12\\f(5)=-25+20+12\\f(5)=7$

Replace $x=5$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to find the value of $g(5)$ .

$g(5)=-5+6\\g(5)=1$

Step 6:

Insert $x=6$ into $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ to find the value of $f(6)$ .

$f(6)=-6^{2} +4(6)+12\\f(6)=-36+24+12\\f(6)=0$

Also, substitute $x=6$ in $g(x)=-x+6$ to obtain the value of $g(6)$ .

$g(6)=-6+6\\g(6)=0$

Step 7:

According to the provided condition $f(x)=g(x)$ .

(a). Insert $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ into the previously mentioned equation.

$-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6$

(b). Multiply through by $-1$ on both sides.

$x^{2} -4x-12=x-6$

(c). Move the term $x-6$ to the left side of the equation.

$x^{2} -4x-12-x+6=0\\x^{2} -5x-6=0$

(d). Divide the middle term so that its sum equals 5 and the product equals 6.

$x^{2} -(6-1)x-6=0\\x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\(x+1)(x-6)=0\\x=-1,6$

From the analysis above, it is noted that for $x=6$ both functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ yield the same outcome.

Using a direct approach:

$f(x)=g(x)\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12=-x+6\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +4x+12+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +5x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow-x^{2} +6x-x+6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x^{2} -6x+x-6=0\\\Leftrightarrow x(x-6)+1(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow(x+1)(x-6)=0\\\Leftrightarrow x=6,-1$

The table representing function $f(x)=-x^{2} +4x+12$ and $g(x)=-x+6$ is included below.

Your classmate is unsure about how to use side lengths to determine the type of triangle. How would you explain this to your cla

babunello [11817]

1) Equilateral Triangles: Triangles of this type have uniformly equal side lengths and angles. Therefore, if the side measurements are identical, the triangle is categorized as equilateral.

2) Isosceles Triangles: Such triangles feature two sides of the same length, with the third side differing. Given this, if the provided side lengths include two equal sides, it is classified as an isosceles triangle.

3) Scalene Triangles: These triangles have all sides of differing lengths. When all side lengths are distinct, it indicates a scalene triangle.

I hope this explanation is helpful!:)
