Answer:

Sample Response: No, constructing the triangle is impossible. The triangle inequality rule specifies that the sum of any two sides has to be greater than the remaining side. 6 + 4 amounts to 10, which is less than 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

It had a crack along its edge

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Pythagorean Inequality Theorem, the sum of the two shorter sides must exceed the length of the third side.

4+6=10  

11 is still greater than 10.

Hence, constructing such a triangle is not feasible.

X² + 7x - 8 = 0; product = -8 times 1 = -8; sum = 7; {-1, 8}; x² - 1x + 8x - 8 = 0; x(x - 1) + 8(x - 1) = 0; thus, x + 8 = 0 or x - 1 = 0, leading to x = -8.

Take 2.25 and multiply by each answer, then use 750 and record the total. Next, multiply 3.25 with each answer in ascending order, adjusting the figures until you reach the precise amount. For example, D indicates that for 760, 2.25 times 760 yields 2460, and multiplying by 3.25 gives you 2570. You save 10 dollars, enabling you to cover the costs for food and the band.

A, B, and C are polynomials, where A = n, B = 2n + 6, and C = n2 – 1. What is AB – C in simplest form? A=–n2 + 3n + 5 B=n2 + 6n
Inessa [12570]

Answer: B: n^2+6n+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A=n

B=2n+6

C=n^2-1

AB-C

n(2n+6)-n^2-1

2n^2+6n-n^2+1

n^2+6n+1

Jason solved the following equation to find the value for x. –8.5x – 3.5x = –78 x = 6.5 Describe how Jason can check his answer.
Inessa [12570]
Jason can confirm the accuracy of his solution by substituting the calculated x value back into the original equation to check if it holds true. If the equality fails, it indicates that his calculated x is incorrect.

I prefer using ratios and cross multiplication for scenarios like this. Divide the part (1001) by the whole (1300), and set that equal to x percent of 100 percent.

1001/1300 = x/100
100100 = 1300x
x = 77
