Answer:

The side lengths of the triangle, in order, are 11 inches, 60 inches, 61 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter leg be x, the longer leg, y and the hypotenus, z.

y = 16 + 4x

z = 17 + 4x

By Pythagoras rule,

z^2 = x^2 + y^2

(17+4x)^2 = x^2 + (16+4x)^2

that is,

x^2 - 8x - 33 = 0  (A quadratic equation)

By factorising,

(x+3)(x-11)=0

either x = -3 or x = 11.

But length cannot be negative. Hence, -3 is dicarded.

x = 11 inches

y = 16 + 4x = 60 inches

z = 17 + 4x = 61 inches

Answer:

1.) 0

2.) b = -0.8333333333

3.) -x-22

Step-by-step explanation:

Pull out like factors :    -3x - 2  =   -1 • (3x + 2)

(-5 • (3x + 2) -  (x - 3)) -  (-16x - 7)  = 0

Pull out: -16x-7

After pulling out, we are left with:  (-16x-7) • ( 1 +( (-1) ))

Pull out like factors: -16x - 7  =   -1 • (16x + 7)  

0 = 0

____________________________________________

Simplifying

2(a + -3) + 4b + -2(a + -1b + -3) + 5 = 0

Reorder the terms:

2(-3 + a) + 4b + -2(a + -1b + -3) + 5 = 0

(-3 * 2 + a * 2) + 4b + -2(a + -1b + -3) + 5 = 0

(-6 + 2a) + 4b + -2(a + -1b + -3) + 5 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 2a + 4b + -2(-3 + a + -1b) + 5 = 0

-6 + 2a + 4b + (-3 * -2 + a * -2 + -1b * -2) + 5 = 0

-6 + 2a + 4b + (6 + -2a + 2b) + 5 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 6 + 5 + 2a + -2a + 4b + 2b = 0

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 5 + 2a + -2a + 4b + 2b = 0

5 + 2a + -2a + 4b + 2b = 0

Combine like terms: 2a + -2a = 0

5 + 0 + 4b + 2b = 0

5 + 4b + 2b = 0

Combine like terms: 4b + 2b = 6b

5 + 6b = 0

Solving

5 + 6b = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.

5 + -5 + 6b = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0

0 + 6b = 0 + -5

6b = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5

6b = -5

Divide each side by '6'.

b = -0.8333333333

Simplifying

b = -0.8333333333

_______________________________________

|x - 2| - 4*|-6|

=|x - 2| - 4* 6

=|x - 2| - 24

x-2>=0 then x>= 2 and = x-2-24  = x-26

x-2<0 then  x<2 and = 2-x-24 =-x-22

so , If x>=2 then the expression will equal   x-26

&

If  x<2 then the expression will equal    -x-22

How to solve this problem?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Can not be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily notice that the limit is x tends to infinity, whereas x is not present in the given function, we are given (1 + 1/n). So we can not evaluate the given limit for x as parameter, we must have some function of x to solve this problem.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. the limit can not be determined.
