Answer:

a) Acute triangle

b) Right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A triangle having sides a, b and c is called,

Acute : If a² + b² > c² or a² + c² > b² or b² + c² > a²,

Obtuse : if a² + b² < c² or a² + c² < b² or b² + c² < a²

Right : a² + b² = c² or a² + c² = b² or b² + c² = a²,

a) Let A≡(-1, 1), B≡(7,-2) and C≡(1,-5),

By the distance formula,

AB=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-2-1)^2}=\sqrt{(7+1)^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+3^2}=\sqrt{64+9}=\sqrt{73}\text{ unit}

Similarly,

BC=\sqrt{45}\text{ unit}

CA=\sqrt{40}\text{ unit}

∵ The sum of any two sides is greater than third side,

So, ABC is a triangle,

Now,

AB^2 + BC^2 > CA^2

⇒ ABC is an acute triangle.

b) Let P≡(0,6), Q≡(1,2) and R≡(5,3),

By the distance formula,

PQ = √17 unit,

QR = √17 unit,

RP = √34 unit,

∵ The sum of any two sides of PQR is greater than third side,

⇒ PQR is a triangle ,

Also,

RP^2=PQ^2+QR^2

Hence, PQR is a right triangle.

Determine if the function is an even function an odd function or neither y=2x^4+2x^2
irakobra [83]

Answer:

This function would be even.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell a function is even if you plug in -x for x and then simplify and it is the same function. This is the case below.

y = 2x^4 + 2x^2 ----> Plug in -x

y = 2(-x)^4 + 2(-x)^2 ----> Simplify

y = 2x^4 + 2x^2

You'll notice the simplified version is exactly the same as the original, which makes it odd.
