Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find a

c = hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle

a² + b² = c²

a² + 24² = 26²

a² = 100

a = 10

<em>Or solving another way,</em>

3-4-5

5-12-13

6-8-10

7-24-25

These are special right triangles.

5 - 12 - 13 => 5x2 - 12x2 - 13x2 => 10 - 24 -26

so, a = 10

Hope this helps ^-^

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <u>Pythagorean Theorem</u> to find the unknown side.

a^2+b^2=c^2

<h3>We are given that:</h3>
  • b=24
  • c=26

We need to solve for a.

a^2+24^2=26^2\\\\ \text {Solve Exponents:}\\\rightarrow 24^2 = 576\\\rightarrow 26^2 = 676\\\\a^2+576=676\\\rightarrow a^2+576-576=676-576 \text{ (Subtraction Property of Equality)}\\a^2=100\\\sqrt{a^2} =\sqrt{100} \text { (Take the square root on both sides.) }\\\\\boxed {a=100}

<em>Option C should be the correct answer.</em>

Ty and Gajge are both football players who averaged 4 yards per run in yesterday’s
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The lengths of Gajge’s runs have greater variability because there is a greater difference between his longest and shortest runs is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Ty and Gajge are football players.

Carries is 15 for both and average is the same 4 for both.

But on scrutiny we find that maximum and minimum and 6 and 2 for Ty.

Hence range for Ty = 6-2 =4 (2 runs on eithre side of mean)

But for Gajge, highest is 19 and lowest is 2.

i.e. range = 19-2 =17 very much higher than that of Ty

The lengths of Gajge’s runs have greater variability because there is a greater difference between his longest and shortest runs.

Describe the graph of the function f(x) = x3 − 11x2 + 36x − 36. Include the y-intercept, x-intercepts, and the end behavior.
jenyasd209 [6]
The function is f(x)=x^3-11x^2+36x-36.

To find the x-intercepts, we need to factorize the function. A very good idea is to first try the factors of 36:

f(1)=1-11+36-36, not 0

f(2)=8-44+72-36=-36+72-36=0. Here we have our first root (2).

Now we cad divide f(x) by (x-2) which will give us a quadratic expression, which we can factorize easily (if the discriminant is non negative).

We can also try some other factors of 36. Indeed we can check that 

f(3)=27-99+108-36=135-135=0, 
and
f(6)=216-396+216-36=0.

Thus, f(x)=(x-2)(x-3)(x-6). Note that if we expanded the right hand side expression, the constant term would be the product of the constants 2, 3, 6.

This is the reason why in the first place we looked at the factors of 36 for the possible zeros of f(x).


Thus, the x-intercepts are (2, 0), (3, 0), (6, 0), or 2, 3, 6. 

The y-intercept is f(0), which is -36.


Note that f(0)<f(2) because f(0)=-36 and f(2)=0. This means that at the left side, the graph is coming from - infinity. Similarly, 

we can check that f(10)=1000-1100+360-36=224> f(6). That is, to the right of our rightmost root, the graph is getting larger.

Thus, the end behaviors are: the graph goes to + infinity as x goes to + infinity, 

and it goes to minus infinity as x goes to - infinity.
