How to solve this pythagoras theorem

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest side thus is (4x + 1)

The legs are 2x and (4x - 1)

Using Pythagoras' theorem, then

(4x + 1)² = (2x)² + (4x - 1)² ← expanding factors

16x² + 8x + 1 = 4x²  + 16x² - 8x + 1 , that is

16x² + 8x + 1 = 20x² - 8x + 1 ( subtract 20x² - 8x + 1 from both sides )

- 4x² + 16x = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

4x² - 16x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term

4x(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Now x > 0, thus x = 4

2x = 2(4) = 8

4x - 1 = 4(4) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Thus

perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm

Triangle ABC is shown Translate Triangle ABC 5 units left and 4 units up and reflect it over the x-axis​
tekilochka [14]

Here is my process for solving this.

First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.

*Look at first attachment*

Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)

*Look at second attachment*

Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)

*Look at third attachment*

Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.

*Look at fourth attachment*

Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.

*Look at fifth attachment*

The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.

THANK YOU (PLEASE HELP) <3 C: TYSMMMM PLZZZ Write an equation of a parabola that is wider than the parent function, reflects
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

y=-2x^2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola is wider than it's parent function, y = x^2. Therefore the coefficient, of x^2 (when you refer to quadratic equations it's a) should be greater than 1. Let's take 2.

y = 2x^2

Now it is reflected across the x-axis, so the equation turns to y = -2x^2. The vertex is shifted down 4. Note that it is shifted down, along the y-axis. This makes 'c' (again quadratic equations) -4.

Final Equation: y=-2x^2-4
