Answer:

8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller of the right triangles formed is similar to the whole triangle so

4/x = x/16   where  x = the shorter leg

x^2 = 64

x = 8.

On a board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following conditions :

board measuring 1x100, each square is numbered from 1 to 100

Three colors are used to paint the squares from left to right in the sequence :

one blue, two reds and three green squares in a repeated pattern.

What is the highest numbered square that is painted blue?

The sequence of painting is repeated after :

(1 + 2 + 3) = 6 successive squares

Since the number of squares = 100

Maximum complete repetition possible :

100 / 6 = 16 remainder 4

Hence 16 * 6 = 96 (the highest complete sequence terminates on the square numbered 96)

On the 97th square, another sequence begins which is a blue and the 100th square is painted the first of the 3 green colors.

Hence, the highest numbered square that is painted blue is 97

Which zero pair could be added to the function f(x)=x^2+12x+6 so that the function can be written in vertex form?
andrew11 [14]
<span>f(x) = x</span>² <span>+ 12x + 6  </span>→ y = x² + 12x + 6<span>

Let us convert the standard form into vertex form.

1) Complete the squares. Isolate x</span>² and x terms.
<span>y - 6 = x</span>² + 12x
<span>
2) Create the perfect square trinomial. Whatever number is added on one side must also be added on the other side. 

y - 6 + 36 = x</span>² + 12x + 36<span>
y + 30 = (x + 6)</span>²
<span>y = (x + 6)</span>² - 30  ← Vertex form
<span>
To check:

y = (x + 6) (x + 6) - 30
y = x</span>² + 6x + 6x + 36 - 30
<span>y = x</span>² + 12x + 6<span>

The zero that could be added to the given function is 36, -36</span>

Ariel wants to write 8 entries for her blog. After 2 hours, she has 5 entries left. After 4 hours, she has 2 entries left. Which
Komok [63]
After 2 hours she wrote 3 entries.
after 4 hours she wrote 6 entries.
This means that for same period she is writing same number of entries which means her "writing speed" is constant.
that means that graph is linear function (straight line).

slope we calculate by putting coordinates of y and x of any dot on that line. we can use one of those given by text of task. (in 2 hours she wrote 3 entries)
y = k*x
k = y/x
k = 1.5
