Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a - a legc - a hypotenuse
c^2=a^2+a^2\\\\c^2=2a^2
We have:
c=a+9
Substitute:
(a+9)^2=2a^2
Use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
a^2+2\cdot a\cdot 9+9^2=2a^2\\\\a^2+18a+81=2a^2\ \ \ |-2a^2\\\\-a^2+18a+81=0\ \ \ |\cdot(-1)\\\\a^2-18a-81=0\ \ \ \ |+81\\\\a^2-18a=81\\\\a^2-2\cdot a\cdot9=81\ \ \ \ |+9^2\\\\a^2-2\cdot a\cdot9+9^2=81+9^2\\\\(a-9)^2=162\to a-9=\sqrt{162}\ \ \ |+9\\\\a=9+\sqrt{81\cdot2}\\\\a=9+9\sqrt2
Answer:9+9\sqrt2;\ 9+9\sqrt2;\ 18+9\sqrt2

Will Mark Brainlest help please​

Answer:

g(-1 )=-1 and g(2)+g(1)=7

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x) = x^3+x^2-x-2 find g(-1)

if we find g(-1)

we substitute all the x's in the function with -1

-1^3+-1^2-(-1)-2

-1^3 = -1

-1^2 = 1

-1+1+1-2

(two minuses make a plus)

-1+1 = 0

0+1 = 1

1-2 = -1

if x=-1, g(-1) is -1

g(2)+g(1)

substitute the x's in the function with 2 and 1 and add your results

2^3+2^2-2-2

2^3 = 8, 2^2 = 4

8+4-2-2

8+4= 12, 12-2 = 10, 10-2 = 8

g(2)=8

g(1) now

1^3 + 1^2-1-2

1^3=1, 1^2 = 1

1+1-1-2

1+1 = 2, 2-1 = 1, 1-2 = -1

g(3) = -1

g(2) (which equals 8) + g(3) (which equals -1) =

8+(-1) = 7

g(2)+g(3)=7
