Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

9^2+b^2=12^2

81+b^2=144               <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2.

b=3\sqrt{7} is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>

Camison's minnan gets 14 miles per gallon for city driving and 19 miles per gan
loris [4]

Answer:

<u>7 gallons were used for city driving and 17 gallons were used for highway driving</u>

Correct statement and question:

camison's minnan gets 14 miles per gallon for city driving and 19 miles per gallon for highway driving. At the beginning of the week, the 24-gallon tank was full. The family traveled 421 miles before running out of gas. How many gallons were used for city driving and  how many were used for highway driving?

Source:

Previous question found at brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Gallons for city driving

24 - x = Gallons for highway driving

Miles drove before running out of gas = 421

Now let's solve for x, writing the following equation:

14x + 19 (24 - x) = 421

14x + 456 - 19x = 421

-5x = 421 - 456

-5x = - 35

x = -35/-5

x = 7 ⇒ 24 -x = 17

<u>7 gallons were used for city driving and 17 gallons were used for highway driving</u>

What is the domain of the function shown on the graph?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the arrows on the graph, it appears that as the graph keep growing UP unbounded, it also keeps growing to the left unbounded (to negative infinity, to be exact). Looking to the right, it appears that as the graph decreases unbounded (the y values keep getting smaller), the graph keeps growing in the x direct to positive infinity. So the domain is

- ∞ < x < ∞
