Answer:

One leg - 15 inches

Second leg - 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg - x inches.

Second leg - (x + 21) inches.

Hypotenuse - 39 inches.

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (x + 21)² = 39²

x² + x² + 2*21x  + 21² = 39²

2x² + 42x - 39² + 21² = 0

2x² + 42x - 1080 = 0

x² + 21x - 540 = 0

(x - 15)(x + 36) = 0

x = 15, x = - 36

We can use only positive value.

One leg - x inches = 15 inches

Second leg - (x + 21) inches = 15+21=36 inches.

Rewrite the expression in z to the n power. The expression I was given is: 1 over z to the negative 1 half power.
12345 [234]

Answer:

The equivalent expression is;

\frac{1}{z^{-\frac{1}{2}}}=z^{\frac{1}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:


\frac{1}{z^{-\frac{1}{2} }}

Recall that:

\frac{1}{a^{-m}}=a^m


In our case, a=z and  m=\frac{1}{2}.


We use this property of exponent to obtain;

\frac{1}{z^{-\frac{1}{2}}}=z^{\frac{1}{2}}
