Answer:

u ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2u-5>7 :

Add 5 to both sides:

2u = 7 + 5

2u > 12

Divide by 2:

u > 6

-3u ≤ -6

Multiply both sides by -1, inequality reverses
-3u(-1) ≥ -6(-1)

3u ≥ 6

Divide by 3:

u ≥ 2

Since  u > 6  is a subset of u ≥ 2, the interval for both inequalities is

u ≥ 2

The ratio of the sides = 7: 3

The ratio of perimeter = 7: 3

The ratio of the areas = 49: 9

Area of green polygon = 23

The polygons which are in the same shape but different in size are known as similar polygons. For similar polygons, the ratio of sides is known as the scale factor which is equal to the ratio of perimeters. Here the ratio of the areas is the squares of the scale factor.

Note:

Here we have two polygons

Side of the yellow polygon = 7 units

By the given formulas,

Perimeter of polygon = 6(7) = 42 units

Area of the polygon = 127 units²

Side of the green polygon = 3 units

Perimeter of polygon = 6(3) = 18 units

Area of Polygon = (3√3)/2 × (3)² = 23.383 ≅ 23

The ratio of the sides of polygons yellow to green = 7: 3

The ratio of perimeter = 42: 18 = 7: 3

The ratio of the areas = (7/3)² = 49/9

=> 49: 9

Therefore,

The ratio of the sides = 7: 3

The ratio of perimeter = 7: 3

The ratio of the areas = 49: 9

Area of green polygon = 23

A baker had 24 cupcakes and wanted to divide them equally among 8 friends. How many cupcakes would each friend receive?

The problem can be represented by 8/3 ÷ 4, where 8 represents the number of friends, 3 represents the number of cupcakes each friend should receive, and 4 represents the number of groups the cupcakes should be divided into.

The division makes sense because first, we need to find out how many cupcakes each friend should receive, which is 24 ÷ 8 = 3. Then, we divide the number of cupcakes each friend should receive by the number of groups to find out how many cupcakes each group should receive, which is 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 cupcakes per group.

The error in River's analysis is that it is known if LM and MJ are perpendicular to KL and KJ.

What is error analysis?

Error analysis is a technique used to track out errors in learner language, ascertain whether they are systematic, and (if possible) provide an explanation for why they occurred.

It is given that -

Line segment KM is the bisector of ∠LKJ.

Also, line segment LM = MJ.

According to the angle bisector theorem if a line is a bisector of an angle then the corresponding sides of the angle should be perpendicular to the third side which is getting bisected.

Although it is given that  LM = MJ, but it is not known that if LM and MJ are   perpendicular to the sides of ∠LKJ.

Therefore, River cannot conclude that KM is the bisector of ∠LKJ.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A group of 16 pays $40 + ($2 x (16 - 10)) = $40 + $6 = $46.

b) The cost function can be represented as C(x) = 40 + 2(x - 10) for x > 10 and C(x) = 40 for x <= 10, where x is the number of people in the group and C(x) is the cost for the group.

c) The domain of the cost function is all non-negative real numbers less than or equal to 50 (0 <= x <= 50), since the maximum group size is 50. The range of the cost function is all non-negative real numbers greater than or equal to 40 (C(x) >= 40), since the minimum charge for a group is $40.

Answer:

a) $52

b) C(x) = 40 + 2x, if x > 10 and x ≤ 50

C(x) = 40, if x ≤ 10

c) Domain = {x ≥ 1 and x ≤ 50}

The statement that A triangular prism contains two parallel hexagonal faces is False

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

A triangular prism contains two parallel hexagonal faces.

As a general rule, the parallel faces in a triangular prism are triangles

This is so because a triangular prism is a 3-dimensional object with a triangular base and three rectangular sides.

The two parallel faces of a triangular prism are congruent triangles, not hexagons.

What is factorization?

The process of writing a number or any mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind, is known as factorization or factoring.

In mathematics, factorization is the process of dividing a large number into smaller ones that, when multiplied together, give you the original number.

A scale factor consists of two or more shapes who look the same but have different scales or measures. A scale factor of 2 means that the new triangle is two times the size of the original.

If we look at shape x, we can see it has a base of 4, and a height of 3. If we also know that a scale factor of two means that the new shape will be twice as large, we can use an equation that looks like this:

(Base/height × scale factor = new base length)

Now that we have these numbers, we can take them and see which shape matches the new length.

Shape D has a base of 8 and a height of 6, meaning that it has a scale factor 2 compared to shape x.

The function that is represented by the graph is y = ∛(x + 3) + 3.

What is a function?

In mathematics, a function is a unique arrangement of the inputs (also referred to as the domain) and their outputs (sometimes referred to as the codomain), where each input has exactly one output and the output can be linked to its input.

The general form of a cube root function is -

y = a∛(x - h) + k and the parent graph is y = ∛x.

So the parent function is found.

The coordinate point for the parent function is -

(-1,-1) , (0,0) and (1,1).

In the graph it can be seen that the coordinate points are -

(-4,2), (-3,3) and (-2,4)

So the graph is first moved 3 units up and then moved three units left.

So, the coordinated become - (x + (-3) , y + 3)

So, the function that represents the graph is -

y = ∛(x + 3) + 3
