I’m guessing you mean as a decimal. So it would be 2.333333333333 (repeating 3)
Answer:
5n - 7 < 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
Slope is 1/4 (0.25) while y-intercept is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in getting the y intercept and slope of the line joining the given points.
We can get the slope by using any two points
Let’s say (4,6) and (12,8)
Mathematically; slope
= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (8-6)/(12-4) = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25
To get the y-intercept, we proceed
kindly recall that the equation of a straight line is;
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
Let’s take any of the points (28,12)
Thus:
12 = 0.25(28) + c
12 = 7 + c
c = 12-7
c = 5
