Prove that triangle with side lengths of x^2-1, 2x, x^2+1 is a right triangle.

Right triangles must follow the pythagorean theorem, so a^2+b^2=c^2.

Let's find a^2 and b^2 by squaring the first 2 side lengths.

(x^2-1)^2= x^4-2x^2+1
(2x)^2= 4x^2

Then add the two to find c^2
x^4+ 2x^2 +1= c^2

Root both sides
x^2+1=c

Since the side lengths can be plugged into the pythagorean theorem, the side lengths must represent a right triangle.
Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,3) and has an undefined slope?
wariber [46]

x = 4

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points with the same x-coordinate. For this reason it's equation is x = c where c is the value of the x-coordinate it passes through.

line passes through (4, 3 )

Hence equation is x = 4
