ANSWER
2, 4 and 8
EXPLANATION
We have that in a triangle ABC, AB = 3 cm and BC = 5 cm.
To find the possible length of AC, we can apply the triangle inequality theorem.
It states that in any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than or equal to the length of the remaining side.
This means that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} AB\text{ + AC }\ge\text{ BC} \\ \text{and } \\ AB\text{ + BC }\ge\text{ AC} \\ \text{and} \\ AC\text{ + BC }\ge\text{ AB} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\text{ + AC }\ge\text{ 5 }\Rightarrow\text{ AC }\ge\text{ 2} \\ 3\text{ + 5 }\ge\text{ AC }\Rightarrow\text{ AC }\leq\text{ 8} \\ AC\text{ + 5 }\ge3\Rightarrow\text{ AC }\ge\text{ -2} \end{gathered}[/tex]We have to disregard the third line, since the length of a triangle side can only be positive.
So, using the first 2 lines, we see that:
[tex]2\text{ }\leq\text{ AC }\leq\text{ 8}[/tex]This means that from the options, the measure of AC can either be 2, 4 or 8.

I need to find two sets of coordinates and graph them. Please help?!
Answer
The two coordinates on the line include
(0, -1.5) and (-4.5, 0)
The graph of the line is presented below
Explanation
We are asked to plot the grap of the given equation of a straight line.
To do that, we will obtainthe coordinates of two points on the line.
These two points will preferrably be the intercepts of the line.
y = (-x/3) - (3/2)
when x = 0
y = 0 - (3/2)
y = -(3/2)
y = -1.5
First coordinate and first point on the line is (0, -1.5)
when y = 0
0 = (-x/3) - (3/2)
(x/3) = -(3/2)
x = (-3) (3/2)
x = -(9/2)
x = -4.5
Second coordinate and second point on the line is thus (-4.5, 0)
So, to plot the line, we just mark these two points and connect them to each other.
The graph of this line is presented under 'Answer' above.

What is a Quadratic equation ?
A second-degree equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 is known as a quadratic equation in mathematics. Here, x is the variable, c is the constant term, and a and b are the coefficients. Since x is a second-degree variable, this quadratic equation has two roots, or solutions.
The given expression is,
2x² + 8x + 6
Put it equal to 0 so that we can solve for 'x'
2x² + 8x + 6 = 0
Now, its factors are 6x and 2x
2x² + 6x + 2x + 6 = 0
2x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3) = 0
To cross check your solution is correct or not. You've to just see the the brackets value should be same after taking common. Here the bracket value is (x+3) which is same.
(2x + 2) (x+3) = 0
split the values to solve further,
2x + 2 = 0 | x + 3 = 0
2x = -2 | x = -3
x = -2/2
x = -1
Hence, the factors are -3 and -1

Solution:
For this case we know that the width is given by:
w = 6x +8
The lenght is given by:
l= 12x +16
And the perimeter would be given by:
P= 2l +2w = 2(12x+16)+ 2(6x+8)= 24x+32 +12x+16=36x + 48

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
[tex]\dfrac{(14^2-13^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}{(15^2-12^2)^{\frac{1}{4}}}[/tex]
Following the order of operations, carry out the operations inside the parentheses first.
Apply the Difference of Two Square formula [tex]x^2-y^2=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-y\right)[/tex]
to the operations inside the parentheses in both the numerator and denominator:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{((14+13)(14-13))^{\frac{2}{3}}}{((15+12)(15-12))^{\frac{1}{4}}}[/tex]
Carry out the operations inside the parentheses:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{((27)(1))^{\frac{2}{3}}}{((27)(3))^{\frac{1}{4}}}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{(27)^{\frac{2}{3}}}{(81)^{\frac{1}{4}}}[/tex]
Carry out the prime factorization of 27 and 81.
Therefore, rewrite 27 as 3³ and 81 as 3⁴:
[tex]\implies \dfrac{(3^3)^{\frac{2}{3}}}{(3^4)^{\frac{1}{4}}}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}:[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{3^{(3 \cdot \frac{2}{3})}}{3^{(4 \cdot \frac{1}{4})}}[/tex]

1. If the cake rises by ¹/₃ as it bakes, the number of cups of cake batter needed for the four cakes is 140.
2. If ¹/₄ in. is used between layers and ¹/₂ in. is used on the top and sides, the number of cups of icing needed for the four cakes is 47.
How are the numbers determined?The number of cups of cake batter and icing can be determined using the mathematical operations of multiplication, addition, division, and subtraction.
First, the volumes of each cake and its batter are calculated using the given dimensions and the rise.
Using the division operation, the number of cups of cake batter for each cake is determined and multiplied by four.
We understand that the normal volume of the cake will increase with the icing, helping us to calculate the increased volume after the icing.
The difference between the two volumes becomes the volume of the icing required, which is divided by 14.4 in³ to get the number of cups of icing required.
a) Cups of Cake Butter:The volume of each cake = Length x Width x Height
Length = 14 inches
Width = 12 inches
Height = 4 inches (2 x 2)
= 12 x 14 x 4
= 672 in³.
Rise of the cake as it bakes = ¹/₃
The normal volume before rising = 1
Risen volume = 1¹/₃
1¹/₃ = 672 in³
The normal volume of cake batter before the ¹/₃ rise = 504 in³ (672/1¹/₃).
1 cup = 14.4 in³, the total cups for each cake = 35 cups (504 in³/14.4 in³).
The total cups of cake batter for the 4 cakes = 140 cups (35 x 4).
b) Cups of Icing:The total quantity of icing = 1¹/₄ (¹/₄ + ¹/₂ + ¹/₂).
The new volume after the icing = 840 in³ (672 x 1¹/₄)
The difference in volume after the icing = 168 in³ in (840 in³ - 672 in³)
If 1 cup = 14.4 in³, the cups of icing for each cake = 11.67 cups (168 in³/14.4 in³).
The total cups of icing for the 4 cakes = 47 cups (11.67 x 4).

Answer:
x = 34 degrees, y = 73
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is isosceles, the base angles are congruent (equal). First, find the supplement angle by doing 180-107, which gives you 73 for the base angles, which include y. Now there is a theorem that states the 2 remote interior angles are equivalent to the exterior angle, which means 107 = 73 + x. This gives us x = 34

Exponential Decay
The model for the exponential decay of a quantity Mo is:
[tex]M=M_o\cdot e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]Where λ is a constant and t is the time.
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes to halve its initial mass. It can be calculated by making M = Mo/2 and solving for t:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{M_o}{2}=M_o\cdot e^{-\lambda t} \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ e^{-\lambda t}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{Taking natural log:} \\ -\lambda t=-\log 2 \\ t=\frac{\log 2}{\lambda} \end{gathered}[/tex]It's required to calculate the remaining mass of an isotope of Mo = 175 gr after 5 half-lives have passed, that is. we must calculate M when t is five times the value calculated above.
Substituting in the model:
[tex]M=175gr\cdot e^{-\lambda\cdot\frac{5\log 2}{\lambda}}[/tex]Simplifying (the value of λ cancels out):
[tex]\begin{gathered} M=175gr\cdot e^{-5\log 2} \\ \text{Calculating:} \\ M=175gr\cdot0.03125 \\ M=5.46875gr \end{gathered}[/tex]Rounding to the nearest gram, 5 grams of the radioactive isotope will be left after the required time.

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = number of females that got a C in the test/number of females
From the information given,
number of females that got a C in the test = 12
number of females = 30

Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of acylinder. Container A has a diameter of 8 feet and a height bf 16 feet. Container B hasa diameter of 10 feet and a height of 8 feet. Container A is full of water and the wateris pumped into Container B until Conainter B is completely full.To the nearest tenth, what is the percent of Container A that is empty after thepumping is complete?
Okay, here we have this:
Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate what is the percent of Container A that is empty after the pumping is complete, so we obtain the following:
First we will calculate the volume of each cylinder using the following formula:
[tex]V=\pi\cdot r^2\cdot h[/tex]Applying:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V_A=\pi\cdot4^2\cdot16 \\ V_A=\pi\cdot16\cdot16 \\ V_A=256\pi \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} V_B=\pi\cdot5^2\cdot8 \\ V_B=\pi\cdot25\cdot8 \\ V_B=200\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]After pumping the water from container A to container B, the following amount remains in container A:
Remaining amount of water in A=256π-200π
Remaining amount of water in A=56π
Now, we obtain that the empty percentage that results in A is:
Empty percentage that results in A=200/256*100
Empty percentage that results in A=78.125%
Empty percentage that results in A≈78.1%

Answer: We have to sketch the angle and find the reference angle for the 20:
[tex]\frac{8\pi}{3}[/tex]The reference angle is an angle between the terminal side of the angle and the x-axis.
[tex]\theta_R=180^{\circ}-\theta[/tex]The provided angle is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \theta=\frac{8\pi}{3}=480^{\circ} \\ \\ 480^{\circ}=480^{\circ}-360^{\circ}=120^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta=120^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]Sketch of the angle:
Therefore the reference angle is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \theta_R=180^{\circ}-\theta \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}-120^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta_R=60^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]
