Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle with side lengths a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1

To find : Prove that when x > 1, it is a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem and the given side lengths to create an equation. Use the equation to show that this triangle follows the rule describing right triangles. Explain your steps ?

Solution :

For right triangle the Pythagorean theorem is to be satisfied.

i.e. c^2=a^2+b^2

Here, a = x^2-1, b = 2x, \text{ and } c = x^2 + 1

Substitute the values,

(x^2+1)^2=(x^2-1)^2+(2x)^2

x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1-2x^2+4x^2

x^4+1+2x^2=x^4+1+2x^2

LHS=RHS

It is a right triangle.

There is a bag filled with 5 blue, 6 red and 2 green marbles.

The probability of getting exactly 1 green will be 1/13.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

The chances of an event occurring are defined by probability. Probability has several uses in games, in business to create probability-based forecasts,

Given data;

No of blue marbles= 5,

No of red marbles=6

No of green marbles=2

Total no of ball  = 5+6+2

Total no of ball  = 13

The probability of getting one green marble is;

P(G)=1/13

Hence, the probability of getting exactly 1 green will be 1/13.

what do i write for this " Write a problem that requires adding 1 to the quotient when interpreting the remainder."
Mariana [72]
You should write a ( real world situation ) question that can only have whole numbers as a solution because you would divide and then you can not have a fraction left over so instead you add one. For instance there are 132 students going on a field trip. 20 students can fit on each bus. how many buses are needed? 7 because when you divide 132 by 20 you get 6 remainder 12. You can not just make 12 students walk to the location so you would add an extra bus.
