The segments shown below could form a triangle. a.) true b.) false

For the segments above to form a triangle, the sums of two lines needs to be greater than the third one, so, for a triangle to form, all of the the following need to apply:

AC + CB > BA ⇒ 9 + 7 > 16 ⇒ 16 = 16 (Doesn't apply)

AC + BA > CB ⇒ 9 + 16 > 7 ⇒ 25 > 7 (Applies)

CB + BA > AC ⇒ 7 + 16 > 9 ⇒ 23 > 9 (Applies)

→ Since not all of the above apply, no triangle can be formed.

Hope it helped,

(- 1, 0 )

step-by-step explanation:

an x- intercept is where the function crosses the x- axis.

to find the x- intercept/s look for the value of x when f(x) = 0

from the given table there are 3 values of x where f(x) = 0

when x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3

the one that is listed is (- 1, 0 )

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
