Use pythagorean's theorem to solve for missing sides of a right triangle.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 11
b = 17
c = We don't know yet so I'll call it x

11^2 + 17^2 = c^2

121 + 289 = c^2

410 = c^2

c = √410

c = 20.2

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps, and May the Force Be With You!

Answer:

x = -4/5 = -0.800

Step-by-step explanation:

Pull out like factors :

-12 - 15x = -3 • (5x + 4)

Solve :

-3 = 0

Solve :

5x+4 = 0

5x = -4

<u><em>x = -4/5 = -0.800</em></u>

Does anyone understand how to do this? If you do can you explain how I solve it and receive the answer?

UNO [17]

Answer:

slope-intercept form equation: y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you take the 2 y's, 18 and -13, then you subtract them: 18 - (-13) = 31

then you take the 2 x's, 13 and -18, subtract them too: 13 - (-18) = 31

divide those 2 sums: 31/31 = 1

so the slope is 1

then when you graph it you get an y-intercept of 5

so the equation is y = x + 5

hope this helps :)

A baseball team has 4 pitchers, who only pitch, and 16 other players, all of whom can play any position other than pitcher. F

Answer:

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

First 8 batters

8 players from a set of 16. So

$P_{(16,8)} = \frac{16!}{(16 - 8)!} = 518918400$

Last batter:

Any of the four pitchers.

How many different batting orders may occur?

4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
