Remark
It's a right triangle so the Pythagorean Theorem applies. All you have to do is put the right things in the right places of the formula.

Givens
a = x
b = x + 4
c = 20

Formula and Substitution.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x + 4)^2 = 20^2

Solution
x^2 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = 20  Subtract 20 from both sides.
2x^2 + 8x + 16 - 20 = 0  
2x^2 + 8x - 4 = 0         Divide through by 2
x^2 + 4x - 2 = 0

Use the quadratic formula
a = 1
b = 4
c = - 2

\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} 
 
\text{x = }\dfrac{ -4 \pm \sqrt{4^{2} + 4(1)(2) } }{2} 


From which x = (-4 +/- sqrt(24) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- sqrt(4*6) ) / 2
x1 = (- 4 +/- 2 sqrt(6) ) / 2
x1 = -2 + sqrt(6)
x2 = -2 - sqrt(6)  This is an extraneous root. No line can be minus.

x1 = + 0.4495
x2 = x + 4 = 4.4495

Jayce is a taxi driver
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Jayce's fee for his 10^{th} drive is equal to K dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

M(n) models Jayce's fee (in dollars) for his n^{th} drive on a certain day.

Substitute n=10, then

M(10) models Jayce's fee (in dollars) for his 10^{th} drive on a certain day.

This means Jayce's fee for his 10^{th} drive is equal to K dollars.
