Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 7cm shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 7cm longer then the linger leg. What i
Gelneren [198K]

The shorter leg is 21cm, longer leg is 28 cm and hypotenuse is 35cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The longer leg = x

The shorter leg = x-7

Hypotenuse = x+7

Using Pythagoras theorem;

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(x-7)^2+(x)^2=(x+7)^2\\x^2-14x+49+x^2=x^2+14x+49\\2x^2-14x+49-x^2-14x-49=0\\x^2-28x=0\\x(x-28)=0\\

Either,

x= 0

Or,

x-28=0      =>x=28

As length cannot be zero, therefore,

Longer side = 28cm

Shorter side = x-7 = 28-7 = 21cm

Hypotenuse = x+7 = 28+7 = 35cm

The shorter leg is 21cm, longer leg is 28 cm and hypotenuse is 35cm.

Keywords: triangle, pythagoras theorem

Simple question just answer correctly to get brainleist and 10 pts! :)
Natali [406]

Answer:

d.  The mapping represents y as a function of x, because each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be a function as long as one x-value doesn't correspond to two y-values. If two x-values correspond to one y-value though, it still represents a function.
