Lukas wants to create a triangle with sides measuring 9 in., 13 in., and 15 in. He says that more than one triangle is possible given these side lengths. Which statement about Lukas’s claim is true? Lukas is incorrect. The side lengths satisfy the triangle inequality rule so one unique triangle can be drawn. Lukas is incorrect. The side lengths do not satisfy the triangle inequality rule so no triangles can be drawn given these side lengths. Lukas is correct. The side lengths satisfy the triangle inequality rule so multiple triangles can be drawn. Lukas is correct. The side lengths do not satisfy the triangle inequality rule so multiple triangles can be drawn.

19.

step-by-step explanation:

you add the 9 in the tens column since it is a single digit and 9 plus zero is 9 so it is 19

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

hi there!

the answer is: 2 and -2

step-by-step explanation:

case 1: an absolute value of positive number will still be a positive number

so absolute value of 2 is 2

case 2: an absolute value of negative number will be positive number so absolute value of -2 is 2
