We have this equation.
A²+B²=C²
We have bits of information that'll help us simplify the equation so there's only one variable.
The longer leg, A, is 3 inches more than the length of the shorter leg, B, tripled.
A=3B+3
Let's plug that in.
(3b+3)²+B²=C²
The hypotenuse, C, is 3 inches less than four times the length of the shorter leg. C=4B-3
Let's plug that in.
(3b+3)²+B²=(4B-3)²
Let's solve.
9B²+18B+9+B²=16B²-24B+9
10B²+18B+9=16b²-24b+9
Let's subtract 9 from both sides.
10b²+18b=16b²-24b
Let's subtract 10b² from both sides.
18b=6b²-24b
Let's add 24b from both sides.
42b=6b²
Let's divide each side by 6.
7b=b²
With this, you can tell that b is 7 since it times 7 equal itself squared.
The shorter leg is 7 inches.
Now, let's look back at the bits of information.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 3 inches more than the length of the shorter side tripled.
3(7)+3=24
So, the longer side is 24. We can either use the other information or plug it into the equation. We can do both. 
The hypotenuse is 3 less than four times the shorter leg.
4(7)-3=25
7²+24²=
49+576=625
√625=25
So, the length of the hypotenuse is 25 inches.

Answer the following questions about the sphere whose equation is given by x2+y2+z2−8x+4y=−4. 1. Find the radius of the sphere.
Anna [14]

Answer:

we have (a,b,c)=(4,-2,0) and R=4 (radius)

Step-by-step explanation:

since

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y=−4

we have to complete the squares to finish with a equation of the form

(x-a)²+(y-b)²+(z-c)²=R²

that is the equation of a sphere of radius R and centre in (a,b,c)

thus

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y=−4

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y +4 = 0

x²+y²+z²−8x+4y +4 +16-16 =0

(x²−8x + 16) + (y² + 4y + 4 ) + (z²) -16 = 0

(x-4)² + (y+2)² + z² = 16

(x-4)² + (y-(-2))² + (z-0)² = 4²

thus we have a=4 , b= -2 , c= 0 and R=4

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The answer is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given in the question that Radric was asked to define "parallel lines" and he said that parallel lines are lines in a plane that do not have any points in common. We are to decide whether Radric's definition is valid or not.

Parallel lines are defined as lines in a plane which never meets or any two lines in a plane which do not intersect each other at any point are called parallel.

Thus, Radric's definition is valid.

Consider this system of equations:
alexandr1967 [171]
<span>"For which value of k does the system have no real number solutions?"
The answer is 4, because 4+4</span>≠16.
<span>
"For which value of k does the system have one real number solution?"
</span>The answer is -0.25, because the linear line because tangent with the parent function.


<span>"For which value of k does the system have two real number solutions?"
</span>The answer is 2, because the linear function intercepts the parent function 2 times.

- i hope these are the answers you are looking for.
