We don't need to graph the line. All we have to do is use our slope formula.
Answer is provided in the image attached.
Answer:
A) 8, 15, 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Right triangle obey the Pythagorean theorem. Thus, we choose the two smaller numbers (being the cathetus) and if after applying the P. Theorem we get the biggest of each option (the hypotenuse) that means that those numbers could be the sides of a right triangle.
The Pythagorean theorem states that:
Thus:
Option A:
→ 17 = 17 OK!
Option B:
→ 10 ≠ 12 NO
Option C:
[/tex] → ≠ 21 NO
Option D:
→ ≠ 16 NO
The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):
Parenthesis (or Brackets)
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction
My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.
So:
We check our answer:
We are right!
So, .
The answer to this question is not rational
There are no two numbers that will add up to 3 and when multiplied become 4.
However there are 2 numbers if you multiply them it is -4. And when you add them it is 3. Those two numbers would be 1 and -4
