In this problem you will need to use the Pythagorean theorem (c^2=a^2+b^2).
The a and b represents the two edges, while c is the diagonal side and it is called the hypotenuse. Since you already know what the hypotenuse is and what one of the sides already are you just have to use the problem: c^2-a^2=b^2. Then if you plug the data you already have into the problem you will get 10^2-6^2=b^2. That then equals 100-36=b^2. Then you subtract and get b^2=64. Then you square root both sides and you get the answer b=8.

Which of the following are polynomial functions? Check all that apply.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is a function where the only operation is an exponent on the variable. It can have just one term or many terms. For example, x^2 is a polynomial but x^2 / x+3 is not since it also contains division. This is a rational. Using this definition then only C and E are polynomials.

Choice A has a rational term. This is not polynomial.

Choice B has an exponent of -2 which is actually division. This is rational and not polynomial.

Choice D has a radical term with the variable. This is not polynomial.
