Answer:

Yes, the set of numbers create a Pythagorean triple

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a set of numbers create a Pythagorean triple, then the set of numbers must satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the greater side

a and b are the legs (perpendicular sides)

we have

$c=7.5\\a=2.1\\b=7.2$

substitute

$7.5^2=2.1^2+7.2^2$

$56.25=4.41+51.84$

$56.25=56.25$ ----> is true

therefore

Yes, the set of numbers create a Pythagorean triple

Answer:

D. I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

"Discrete" means the quantities can only assume specific (usually integer) values. It is contrasted with "continuous," which describes quantities that can assume any value in some range, not necessarily an integer value.*

Micah is writing a function that models the height a dolphin reaches when it propels itself from underwater to the surface, leap

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The dolphin will be above the surface of the water for 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

The height of the dolphin after t seconds is given by:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 96t - 128$

According to Micha's model, how long will the dolphin be above the surface of the water?

It stays above the surface of the water between the first and the second root. Initially, it is below water, when the first time for which $h(t) = 0$ it crosses the surface upwards, and then the second time for which $h(t) = 0$ it crosses the surface downwards.
