Answer:

3rd Option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A right angles triangle.

          length of the sides of triangle are 4 units , 5 units and x units.

we have to find difference between possible value of x.

We use Pythagoras theorem of right angled triangle to fins the value of x.

Pythagoras theorem states that square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the legs of the triangle.  

If x is longest side that is hypotenuse.

then using Pythagoras theorem,  

x² = 4² + 5²

x² = 16 + 25

x² = 41

x = √41

x = 6.40 units

If x is shortest side ⇒ 5 is length of hypotenuse.

then using Pythagoras theorem,  

5² = 4² + x²

25 = 16 + x²

x² = 25 - 16

x² = 9

x = √9

x = 3 units

Difference of x = 6.40 - 3 = 3.40 unit

Therefore, 3rd Option is correct.

A painter earns $15 per hour. What is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200? Write an inequality to rep
IRISSAK [1]

So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked

We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200

so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):

15h =< 200

(divide both sides by 15)

h =< 13 1/3

So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.

Choose the expression that represents a cubic expression.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

10x³ - 6x² - 9x + 12 is a cubic expression ⇒ 2nd

6x + 6 is a linear expression ⇒ 1st

5x² + 9x - 1 is a quadratic expression ⇒ 2nd

Quadratic expression ⇒ 1st

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the degree of any expression

- The degree of any expression is the greatest power of the variable

- Ex:

# 3x - 3 is a first degree expression

# x² - 3x + 2  is a second degree expression

# 5x³ - 2x² + 5x - 2 is a third degree expression

- The first degree expression is called linear expression

- The second degree expression is called quadratic expression

- The third degree expression is called cubic expression

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The cubic expression is the expression with greatest power of 3

∴ 10x³ - 6x² - 9x + 12 is the cubic expression

∵ The linear expression is the expression with greatest power of 1

∴ 6x + 6 is a linear expression

∵ The quadratic expression is the expression with greatest power of 2

∴ 5x² + 9x - 1 is a quadratic expression

∵ The expression is -2x² + 11

∵ The greatest power of x is 2

∴ -2x² + 11 is a quadratic expression
