Let's say the shorter side is x.

So, the longer side would be ( 7 + x )

Now we have to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.


a² + b² = c²

( 7 + x )² + x² = 13

7² + x² + x² = 13²

49 + 2x² = 169

2x² = 169 - 49

2x² = 120

x² = 60

x = √60


So the longer side is ( 7 + √60 ) and the shorter side is √60

What is the equation of the following line written in general form? (The y-intercept is 7.)
Viktor [21]

Answer:

<h2>3x - y + 7 = 0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Put the given y-intercept b = 7 and the coordinates of the point (-2, 1) to the equation:

1=-2m+7          <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>

-6=-2m       <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

3=m\to m=3

We have the equation:

y=3x+7

Convert it to the general form Ax+By+C=0:

y=3x+7              <em>subtract 3x and 7 from both sides</em>

-3x+y-7=0           <em>change the signs</em>

3x-y+7=0

What value of p will make the expression below a perfect square? x^2 - x + P
shutvik [7]

Answer:

p = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a perfect square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x, that is

x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} with p = \frac{1}{4} , thus

x² - x = (x - \frac{1}{2} )² + \frac{1}4}
