Pythagorean theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2 (C^2 always is the hypotenuse)

21^2+b^2=29^2
441+b^2=841
841-441=400
square root of 400 is 20
Your answer is 20

The set of ordered pairs represents a

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The rule that represents the function is $y=x^2+1$ therefore the function is $f(x)=x^2+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 5 ordered pairs in the plane xy. This means that <em>every pair has the form (x, y).</em>

Then, we have 5 values of x, which will give us 5 values of y, using the rule that represents the function.

<u>The easy evaluation is that when x=0, the value of y is y=1,</u> and then we can evaluate the rule for x=-1, and x=1, <em>the value of y is the same, y=2</em>. We can see here that we have a parabolic function, that is not centered in the origin of coordinates because when x=0, y=1.

So <u>we propose the rule </u> $y=x^2+1$ <u> which is correct for the first 3 values of x.</u>

Now, <em>we evaluate the proposed rule when x=2, and when x=3</em>. This evaluations can be written as

$f(2)=2^2+1=5$

$f(3)=3^2+1=10$

Therefore, the rule is correct, and the function is

$f(x)=x^2+1$
