Easy,

the Pythagorean theorem is:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

The a and b, being a value that you HAVE

and

c, being the value you are trying to find.

Example: have 1,2 for a triangle what is the third side?

$1^{2} + 2^{2} = c^{2}$

1+4= $c^{2}$

5= $c^{2}$

Then, just square root to find c.

$\sqrt{5}$ =c

2.2≈c

Which of the following can be modeled with an exponential function? Select all that apply.

Answer: The answers are

(ii) The cost to attend Universal Studios increases by 1% each year,

(iii) An endangered species population is decreasing by 12% each year,

(iv) The population of a town that is growing by 5% each year.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given five functions and we are to select those which can be modelled with an exponential function.

(i) Here, height is varying with respect to time, so it will be a linear function.

(ii) Here, the cost to attend Universal Studios is increasing by 1% every year, so this will be an exponential function.

(iii) Here, an endangered species population is decreasing by 12% each year.

So, this will also be an exponential function.
