Answer: The answer is (d) Find the slopes and show that their product is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given in the question and shown in the attached figure that the vertices of the quadrilateral PQRS are P(0, 0), Q(a + c, 0), R(2a + c, b), and S(a, b). We are asked to use geometry to show that the diagonals PR and QS are perpendicular to each other.

We know that the two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is --1.

So, first we will find the slopes of PR and QS, multiply them, and check the value.If the value is -1, then the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

That is, if 'm' and 'p' are the slopes of the diagonals PR and QS, and if m × p = -1, then the two diagonals are perpendicular.

Thus, the correct answer is (d).

The arc length is 4√26, which is confirmed by the distance formula for a line segment yielding approximately 20.396 units.

To find the length of the curve y = 5x − 4 over the interval −1 ≤ x ≤ 3, we can use the arc length formula for a function y = f(x). The formula for the arc length L is given as:

L = ∫ab√(1 + (dy/dx)2) dx, where dy/dx is the derivative of y with respect to x.

1. Calculate the derivative dy/dx:

y = 5x − 4, so dy/dx = 5.

2. Substitute the derivative into the arc length formula:

L = ∫-13√(1 + 5²) dx = ∫-13√26 dx.

3. Integrate the function:

L = √26 ∫-13 dx = √26 [x]-13 = √26 (3 − (-1)) = 4√26 ≈ 20.396.

To verify this using the distance formula (since the curve is a straight line), we take the points (−1,−9) and (3,11) from the given curve:

4. Apply the distance formula:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²), where (x1, y1) = (-1, -9) and (x2, y2) = (3, 11).

Therefore,

Distance = √((3 - (-1))² + (11 - (-9))²) = √((4)² + (20)²) = √(16 + 400) = √416 = 4√26 ≈ 20.396.

Thus, the arc length calculated using the formula and the distance formula are consistent.

The arc length is 4√26, which is confirmed by the distance formula for a line segment yielding approximately 20.396 units.

Answer:

Isabel’s competition,who sells books and no other products, charges a shipping fee of $1.99 per book plus a fixed fee of $3 for each order. Let x be the number of books purchased and f(x) be the price of shipping one order of books. Write a function that expresses f(x) and explain the value of f(x) for x = 0. (5 points)

The price of the shipping ( f(x)) is equal to the cost of the fixed fee per order (3) plus the product of the number of books ordered (x) and the cost of the fee per book (1.99).

f(x)= 1.99x +3

for f(0) = 1.99(0)+3

f(0) =3

For F(0) there is a order of 0 books.  The price is only for the shippping.

Step-by-step explanation:thats it buddy

A function that expresses f(x) is f(x) = 1.99x + 3. Graph is continuous.

A continuous function is a function that does not have discontinuities that means any unexpected changes in value. A function is continuous if we can ensure arbitrarily small changes by restricting enough minor changes in its input.

For this case we have the following data:

A shipping fee of $ 1.99 is charged for each book sold.

There is a fixed fee of 3 dollars per order.

We must express the total cost by a function of the form .

If x represents the number of books sold, we have an expression of the form:

f(x) = 1.99x + 3

That is, according to the number of books sold, represented by x, a different value will be obtained for the total cost given by function f (x). For example:

If 3 books are sold, we have:

f(x) = 1.99x + 3

f(0) = 1.99(0) + 3

f(0) = 3

Thus, the value of f(x) for x = 0 is f(0) = 3.

The graph is continuous. Continuous is something that can and must be able to be broken down into fractions and decimals. Discrete means something that cannot be broken down into fractions or decimals.

20 2/7 = 142/7 -20/35

find common denominator ( in this case it is 35)

35/7 =5 , multiply 142*5=710, 7*5 =35

142/7 = 710/35

710/35 - 20/35  = 710-20 = 690

690/35 now simplify that fraction

690/35 = 19.714

19*35 = 665

690-665=25

19 25/35

25/35 can reduce to 5/7

The sum of the first and third even integers is 136. By setting up an equation and solving for x, where x is the first integer, we determine that the consecutive even integers are 66, 68, and 70.

The problem asks us to find three consecutive even integers where the sum of the first and third integer is 136. Let's denote the first integer as x, the second integer as x + 2, and the third integer as x + 4 (since consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2). To solve for the values, we set up the equation x + (x + 4) = 136. Simplifying, we get 2x + 4 = 136. Subtracting 4 from both sides gives us 2x = 132. Dividing both sides by 2, we find out that x = 66. So, the first integer is 66, the second integer is 66 + 2 = 68, and the third integer is 66 + 4 = 70.

Therefore, the three consecutive even integers are 66, 68, and 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph shows the number of paintballs a machine launches, y, in x seconds.

We know that the rate of change of a line is given by :-

[tex]k=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The ordered pairs on the line in graph are (4, 16) and (8, 32) and (12, 48) and (16, 64).

Thus, the rate per second at which the machine launches the balls is given by :-

[tex]k=\frac{32-16}{8-4}=\frac{16}{4}

The graph of the line y = (1/3)x - 2 can be plotted on a graph paper by choosing some arbitrary values of x.

We know lines have various types of equations, the general type is

Ax + By + c = 0, and equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

Where slope = m and b = y-intercept.

the slope is the rate of change of the y-axis with respect to the x-axis and the y-intercept is the (0,b) where the line intersects the y-axis at x = 0.

The given line in terms of the slope-intercept method can be written as,

y = (1/3)x - 2.

Now to plot the graph on graph paper or any digital tool we have to choose some arbitrary values of x that corresponds to some values of y.

Like at x = 0 y = -2 So, the coordinates are (0, -2).
