Answer: 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the measures of the legs and hypotenuse given to form a right angle triangle, they must be Pythagorean triples. A Pythagoras triple is a set of numbers that perfectly satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side². We will apply the theorem to each set of numbers given.

1) 3, 4, 5

5² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16

25 = 25

It is a Pythagorean triple

2) 4, 11, 14

14² = 11² + 4² = 121 + 16

196 = 137

It is a Pythagorean triple

3) 9, 14, 17

17² = 14² + 9² = 196 + 81

289 = 277

It is not a Pythagorean triple

4) 8, 14, 16

16² = 14² + 8² = 196 + 64

256 = 260

It is not a Pythagorean triple

5) 8, 15 , 17

17² = 15² + 8²

289 = 225 + 64

289 = 289

It is a Pythagorean triple

Therefore, 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

You notice a hot air balloon descending. The elevation h (in feet) of the balloon is modeled by the function h(x)=−11x+330, wher
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

1) Please find attached, the graph of the function

The domain of the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30

The range of the function is 330 ≥ x ≥ 0

2) The slope of the given equation, shows that the elevation decreases, by (-)11 feet for each increase in time by one second

3) The y-intercept gives the initial elevation of the balloon at time t = 0 seconds

The x-intercept gives the final elevation of the balloon when it lands at time t = 30 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The function modelling the height of the balloon is h(x) = -11x + 330

Where;

x = The time of elevation of the balloon

The data for the graphing derived from Microsoft Excel are as follows

x    {}   h(x)

0    {}   330

5    {}   275

10    {}  220

15    {}  165

20    {}  110

25    {}  55

30    {}   0

Please find attached, the graph of the function

The domain of the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 30

The range of the function is 330 ≥ x ≥ 0

Comparing the given function to the general equation of a straight line, y = m·x + c, we have that the slope, m = -11

2) The slope of a straight line graph gives the rate of change of the dependent variable, per unit change in the independent variable

Therefore, the slope of the given equation, -11 gives the rate of change of the function per unit increase in the independent variable x

Therefore, the elevation decreases, by (-)11 feet for each increase in time by one second

3) The y-intercept gives the initial elevation of the balloon at time t = 0 seconds

The x-intercept gives the final elevation of the balloon when it lands at time t = 30 seconds

Which polynomial function has a leading coefficient of 1 and roots /7 and - /3 with multiplicity 1?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

  • A.  f(x) = (x - √2)(x + √3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Leading coefficient is 1, multiplicity is 1, roots are √2 and -√3. It means the function is the product of two binomials.

<u>The function with the roots of a and b is:</u>

  • f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)

<u>Substitute and and b:</u>

  • f(x) = (x - √2)(x - (-√3)) ⇒
  • f(x) = (x - √2)(x + √3)

Correct choice is A
