Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.

Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20

Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive

The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.

Find f(g(-4)) and g(f(-4)) using the functions below.<br><br> f(x) = 2x + 7<br> g(x) = x2 + 3x - 1
daser333 [38]

Answer:

f(g(-4)) = 13.

g(f(-4)) = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

g(-4) = (-4)^2 + 3(-4) - 1

= 3.

so f(g(-4))

= f(3)

= 2(3) + 7

= 13.

f(-4) =  2(-4) + 7

= -1.

so g (f(-4))

= g(-1)

= (-1)^2 - 3 - 1

= -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 cup of brown sugar. Needs 1/4 cup. How many cups left?

Okay, so 4/5 = 0.80, 1/4=0.25.

0.80-0.25=0.55

Which is 55/100

Divide both numbers by 5

You can save up money to pay for the computer later, or you can use a credit card to pay for it now.
KiRa [710]

Response:

Personally, I would save up and pay for the computer. If I need the computer right away or for a good reason, yes I will use a credit card to buy the computer.

On the other hand, if I don't need it at the moment, I will save up to buy it later and would probably save anyway because it's easier than stacking up on my credit card depending on how much I use my credit card.

(This was a quickly made response, adjust it anyway you would like and if it doesn't fit the question than it is perfectly OK to not use it!)
