isosceles - 2 sides have equal lengths
equilateral - all 3 sides are equal

type of triangle has the side lengths of 2,3,4 is scalene triangle
type of triangle has the side lengths of 2,3,5is scalene triangle
type of triangle has the side lengths of 6,8,9 is scalene triangle
What type of triangle has the side lengths of 6,8,10 is scalene triangle

16%5E%28-1%2F2%29+=+1%2F4

To do these ask yourself three questions.
1. What is the base? Answer: 16
2. What is the exponent? Answer: -%281%2F2%29
3. What is the result? Answer: 1%2F4
Now remember this: log means exponent.
So you should write:
log%28base%2Cresult%29+=+exponent.....put in the exponent -%281%2F2%29
log%28base%2Cresult%29+=+-%281%2F2%29....then you should put in the base:16
log%2816%2Cresult%29=-%281%2F2%29...then you should put in the result:1%2F4
log%2816%2C%281%2F4%29%29+=+-%281%2F2%29

To find the exterior angle you divide 360 by the number of sides.
enneagon or nonagon, 9 sides, so the exterior angle is
360%2F9=40

Answer 446030 by MathLover1(6623) About Me  on 2013-03-23 00:23:56 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=%28x%2B1%29%2F%282x-4%29

Asymptotes of a hyperbola are the lines that pass through center of the hyperbola and touch the hyperbola.
y=%28x%2B1%29%2F%282x-4%29....since denominator cannot be zero we will find that value of x that makes it equal to zero
2x-4=0...=>...2x=4...=>...x=2...this is x coordinate of the center and asymptote
now find y value for center
y=%28x%2B1%29%2F2%28x-2%29....=>..y=%281%2F2%29%28%28x%2B1%29%2F%28x-2%29%29
so, y coordinate is 1%2F2

Answer 446027 by MathLover1(6623) About Me  on 2013-03-22 23:50:56 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
formula for circle is:
%28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2 where h and k are coordinates of the center, and r is the radius
you are given: center at (-3, 0) and diameter d=20
(-3, 0)=(h, k); so, h=-3 and k=0
d=20 and we know that r=d%2F2..=>..r=10
now, when you have h=-3, k=0, and r=10, plug it in formula
%28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2
%28x-%28-3%29%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-0%29%5E2+=+10%5E2
%28x%2B3%29%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+=+100

Answer 445939 by MathLover1(6623) About Me  on 2013-03-22 19:23:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if Simone has $40 to buy baseballs for her team's practice, she can spend $40 or less
if each baseball costs $3 she can buy 3b baseballs and that should be $40 or less
find how many baseballs you can buy:
b=40%2F3
b=13.3...you can buy 13 baseballs
so, your answer is choice C. 3b+%3C+39

I am not quite sure is choice D. 3b < 39 is correct or you made mistake because is same as C.

I'm not sure what to do from here.
Do you subtract 81 from both sides or subtract 64?
If you subtract 81 then it will be x^2=-17; how do I solve this?
I cannot use the quadratic function because the number you have to square root it by is a negative number and we haven't learned that yet so I don't think that is right.

you tried this:

x%5E2%2B81=64..this is incorrect %28x%2B9%29%5E2=x%5E2%2B18x%2B81 not x%5E2%2B81
try it this way:
%28x%2B9%29%5E2=64+
%28x%2B9%29%5E2=8%5E2+....since exponents same, bases are same to, so we have
%28x%2B9%29=8+.....solve for x
x=8-9+

From there, would I have to do the quadratic formula? Because the number you have to square root it by is a negative number and we haven't learned that yet. I tried factoring but I got:
5x^2+3x+1=0
What do I do from here?

If we start with an even number and each number in the sequence is 2 more than the previous number then we will get consecutive+even+integers.
Let x be first even number, than x+%2B+2+ is second and x+%2B+4 third consecutive number.
Their sum is:
x%2B%28x%2B2%29%2B%28x%2B4%29=408...solve for x

x%2Bx%2B2%2Bx%2B4=408
3x%2B6=408
3x=408-6
3x=402
x=402%2F3
x=134.....first even number
x%2B2=136.....second even number
x%2B4=138.....third even number
so,the largest of the three integers is 138
