A line segment can be drawn from each vertex of a polygon to every other vertex, forming the sides and
diagonals of the polygon. A square, for example, has 4 sides and 2 diagonals. Using combinations, write
an expression that would give you the total number of sides and diagonals for a polygon with
sides.

A Line Segment Can Be Drawn From Each Vertex Of A Polygon To Every Other Vertex, Forming The Sides Anddiagonals

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

n(n - 3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

A square has 4 sides and 2 diagonals.

Now, a pentagon will have 5 sides and 5 diagonals

A hexagonal when drawn will have 6 sides and 9 diagonals

Thus, we see that;

When n = 4, d = 2

When n = 5, d = 5

When n = 6, d = 9

Using combination, we will find number of pairs of 2 vertices that can possibly be formed from n-vertices. Thereafter we will subtract n from that since it's neighboring vertices can't combine with the current one.

Thus, we have;

C(n, 2) - n

This gives s;

(n(n-1)/2) - n

Simplifying this gives;

(n(n - 1) - 2n)/2

>> (n² - n - 2n)/2

>> (n² - 3n)/2

>> n(n - 3)/2

Which of the following is not a factor of the polynomial p(x) = x³ - 23x² + 142x - 120?

Options :

A(x - 1)

B(x - 10)

C(x - 5)

D(x - 12)

no spam answers and explain how you got the solution.​

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is C- (X-5)

Solution

Given -

polynomial p(x) = x³ - 23x² + 142x - 120

Now see the coefficients

coefficient of x³ is 1 x² is -23 x is 142 and then -120

when you'll add this coefficients

i.e.

1-23+142-120=0

When sum of the coefficient turn out 0 then x = 1

using x=1, x-1 = 0

devide the given polynomial p(x) = x³ - 23x² + 142x - 120 by x-1 you'll get rest two factors hence

A family wants to remodel a house and spend at most $135,000 total for the entire project. a)If the builder wants to make a 15% profit on the value of the project, what is the largest amount the family can spend on hard costs (materials, labor, engineering, designing, permits) to be able to pay the builder his profit while staying under the $135,000 budget? b)What is the builder's profit? (Hint: You cannot simply take 15% of $135,000 because the $135,000 includes the builder's profit. Just like in our commission problems, you don't make commission on commission. The percentage is applied to the value of goods and services provided.)

Can you give me an example on why it’s not foolish to fear ?

Answers

Answer:

It is not foolish to fear—it is a matter of survival. The physical responses we have to objects or situations that we fear are often grouped together and characterized as a “fight or flight” instinct. Something alarms you, and instantly your brain causes a number of chemicals to be released into your bloodstream.

Answer:

Fear is already a part of human nature. In fact, fear is used as a defense mechanism of our ancestors long time ago. They used to live on caves, jungles, and not so sturdy shelters that would make them vulnerable enough to different predators. Thus having the feeling of fear saves them by backing down and to retreat unto safer places. Therefore I can say that it's not foolish to fear since it's already a part of us human beings. Even the bravest persons in the world have their own fears too. We can't just separate it from ourselves and let's just embrace it and try to do something to lessen it.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer:

y = -6x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (-3, 10) and (0, -8).  Moving from the first to the second, we see that x increases by 3 and y decreases by 18.  Thus, the rise and run are -18 and 3 respectively, so that the slope of this line is m = -6.

Adapt the slope-intercept form y = mx + b to this particular situation.  Recognize that the given (0, -8) is the y-intercept and that the slope, m, is -6.  

The equation of this line is thus

y = -6x - 8

second step is to minus 124 from 180 =180-124

=56 . I used 180 because that is the sum of all the angles in a triangle . so x =56

The function f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x= [blank].

Answers

Answer:

The vertical assymptote is at x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical assymptote are simply defined as lines that correspond to the points where the denominator of a rational function is zero.

From the graph, we can see that the curve remains on the y - axis at x = 0

Thus, the vertical assymptote is x = 0

Cindy is buying a new car and wants to learn how the value of her car will change over time. Insurance actuaries predict the future value of cars using depreciation functions. One such function is applied to the car whose declining value is shown at the right. Write an exponential function for it.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C=10000(0.852)^t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the exponential function be,

[tex]C=a(b)^t[/tex]

Here, C = cost of the car

t = Duration or period in years

From the given table,

Two points representing cost of the car and time are (10000, 0) and (8520, 1),

For (10000, 0),

[tex]10000=a(b)^0[/tex]

a = 10000

For (8520, 1)

8520 = [tex]10000(b)^1[/tex]

[tex]b=\frac{8520}{10000}[/tex]

b = 0.8520

Therefore, exponential equation will be,

[tex]C=10000(0.852)^t[/tex]

Louis wants to buy skis that have a regular price of $328. They have been marked down 25% off the regular price. Louis calculates the new total price including tax.

How much money will Louis save on the total cost because of the markdown?

Answers

Answer:

Part A

Calculate sale price and add sales tax:

20% off $339 add tax ⇒ $339*0.8*1.085 = $294.25 ≤ $30015% off $310 add tax ⇒ $310*0.85*1.085 = $285.90 ≤ $30025% off $365 add tax ⇒ $365*0.75*1.085 = $297.02  ≤ $30020% off $300 add tax ⇒ $300*0.8*1.085 = $260.40  ≤ $300

Each price is acceptable as less than $300

Part B

Markdown with tax added:

25% off $328 add tax ⇒ $328*0.75*1.085 = $266.91

Without discount, the price with the tax added:

$328*1.085 = $355.88

The difference is the amount Luis has saved:

$355.88 - $266.91 = $88.97

EASY- Han has to build the figure below, which will serve as a counterweight, for his robotics project. Find the VOLUME of the finished object assuming it is empty inside.

Answers

Given:

A combined figure of a triangular prism and a cuboid.

To find:

The volume of the finished object assuming it is empty inside.

Solution:

From the given figure it is clear that the dimensions of the cuboid are 6 cm, 8 cm and 5 cm.

So, the volume of the cuboid is:

[tex]V_1=length\times width\times height[/tex]

[tex]V_1=6\times 8\times 5[/tex]

[tex]V_1=240[/tex]

The volume of the cuboid is 240 cubic cm.

The area of a triangle is:

[tex]Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height[/tex]

Thus, the base area of the triangular prism whose base is 8 cm and height 4 cm, is:

[tex]B=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8\times 4[/tex]

[tex]B=16[/tex]

The volume of a triangular prism is:

[tex]V_2=Bh[/tex]

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

The base area of the triangular prism is 16 square cm and the height is 5 cm. So, the volume of a triangular prism is:

[tex]V_2=16(5)[/tex]

[tex]V_2=80[/tex]

Now, the volume of the given figure is:

[tex]V=V_1+V_2[/tex]

[tex]V=240+80[/tex]

[tex]V=320[/tex]

Hence, the volume of the finished object is 320 cubic cm.
