Answer:

other leg is 8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c²

a and b are legs

c is the hypotenuse

8² + b² = 12²

64 + b² = 144

-64 -64

b² = 80

√b² = √80

b ≈ 8.94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.\\(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\x^2-16x=-8\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)=-8\\\\\text{We have}\ 2ab=2(x)(8).\ \text{Therefore}\ b=8.\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 8^2=64\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2(x)(8)+8^2=-8+64\\\\(x-8)^2=56$

$5.\\2x^2+x-1=2\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\2x^2+x-3=0\\\\2x^2+3x-2x-3=0\\\\x(2x+3)-1(2x+3)=0\\\\(2x+3)(x-1)=0\iff 2x+3=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\2x+3=0\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\2x=-3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\x-1=0\qquad\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=1}$

$6.\\2x^2-4x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2-2x=0\\\\x(x-2)=0\iff x=0\ \vee\ x-2=0\\\\\boxed{x=0}\\\\x-2=0\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\boxed{x=2}$

(3 pt) point v is graphed on a number line at –6. point u is 8 units away from point v on the number line. what could be the coo

lukranit [14]

Point v is graphed on a number line at -6...point u is 8 units away from v....notice that it doesn't say which way....so it can go either way....so we need to find 8 units away from -6 in both directions

-6 + 8 = 2
-6 - 8 = -14

so point u can be either at 2 or at -14...ur answers are A and D

Tanya kicks a ball into the air. The function that models this scenario is f(t) = –16t2 + 96t, where h is the height of the ball

Irina-Kira [14]

The ball will hit the ground when h(t)=0 so:

16t^2-96t=0

16t(t-6)=0, since t>0

t=6

So the ball with hit the ground after 6 seconds.
