Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean  thm. says a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse, c = 17

Leg b =8

a^2=c^2-b^2

a^2=17*17-8*8

a^2=289-64

a^2=225

Take the square root of both sides.

a = 15

The price to ship a box varies directly as the weight of the box in pounds. A box that weighs 10 pounds costs $10.90 to ship.
xenn [34]
Well we can say 10.90/10 = the cost per pound to ship the item
we can infer this from the above text so
10.90/10 = 1.09.
So 1.09 * 37 = 40.33
$40.33
or 40 dollars and 33 cents to ship the second box with a weight of 37lb (pounds).

Complete the square to determine the minimum or maximum value of the function defined by the expression.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Option D. minimum value at −38

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2}-12x-2

Let

y=x^{2}-12x-2

Complete the square

y+2=x^{2}-12x

y+2+36=(x^{2}-12x+36)

y+38=(x^{2}-12x+36)

y+38=(x-6)^{2}

y=(x-6)^{2}-38 ------> equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form

The vertex is the point (6,-38)

The parabola open upward-----> the vertex is a minimum

therefore

minimum value at −38

The solution to #68 and #70
atroni [7]
The trick is to write appropriate equations and then solve the system of equations you've created.

"sum of two numbers is -5:"  x + y = -5

"difference                   is  -1:"  x-y = -1

Add these two equations together.  This will cause y to drop out, and you will be left with an equation in x alone:

2x  = - 6, so x = -3.  Subst. -3 for x in either equation, above, and find the corresponding y value.

Then write your solution as (-3, y ) (write in your value for y).
