You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.

Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:

(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.

This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.

Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.

By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.

In f(x) = 2x2 − 8x − 10, the y-intercept is ? at ? and the x-intercepts are (-1, 0) and ? .
IgorLugansk [536]
<h2>1.  y-intercept</h2>

\boxed{(0,-10)}

The quadratic function f(x)=2x^22-8x-10 represents a parabola. In fact, the graph of a quadratic function is a special type of U-shaped curve called a parabola. To find the y intercept, we set x=0 as follows:

f(x)=2x^2-8x-10 \\ \\ If \ x=0 \rightarrow f(0)=-10 \\ \\ Then \ y-intercept: \\ \\ (0,-10)

<h2>2.  x-intercepts</h2>

\boxed{(-1,0) \ and \ (5,0)}

To find the other x-intercept, we must set y=0 as follows:

f(x)=2x^2-8x-10 \\ \\ If \ y=0 \rightarrow 2x^2-8x-10=0 \\ \\ Using \ the \ quadratic \ formula: \\ \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \therefore x=\frac{-(-8) \pm \sqrt{(-b)^2-4(2)(-10)}}{2(2)} \\ \\ \therefore x_{1}=-1 \ and \ x_{2}=5

Therefore, the other x-intercept is (5,0). You can see both the y-intercept and the x-intercepts in the figure below.
