Hey, so we will use the formula - A squared + B squared = C squared.

~ So we already have 7 cm and 5 cm down. We can just substitute it in our formula.

~ So for now, it’s, 7+5= C, but we need to square these numbers. So it now becomes 49+25=C squared

~ So 49+25= 74

~ So C=74

~ Now we just need to find the square root of 74

~ And that gives you around 8.6 as an answer.

Hope this explanation will help you in the future :), have a great day

A2 + b2 = c2

7^2 + 5^2 = c2

49 + 25 = c2

74 = c2

square root of 74 = c2

8.602325267 = c

The length of the hypotenuse is around 8.6 cm.

What is the distance between (-6,4) and (-8, 6)?

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

by using well known formula, distance on XOY plane

$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2+(6-4)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(2)^2}$

How to graph f(x)=(x-2)^2+5

tatyana61 [14]

That's a quadratic, a nice parabola in vertex form.

The parabola has a positive x^2 term, so it's a CUP, concave up positive. It will have a minimum at the vertex, which is (2,5). Plot that point.

Now we need a couple of guide points to draw the usual parabola going up from both sides of its vertex. We try x=0 giving (0,9) and see that x=4 also gives 9, (4,9). Plot the parabola through those two points and the vertex and you're done.
