Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a right triangle is x^2 + y^2 = z^2, where x and y are the legs and z is the hypotenuse

write the equations for triangles QTS and STR:

RT^2 + TS^2 = 40^2

7^2 + TS^2 = 25^2

then solve for RT:

RT^2 - 7^2 = 40^2 - 25^2 (subtract second equation from first)

RT^2 = 1024

RT = 32

1. Choose the best descriptor for the graph of f(x)=e^x+5.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Starting from a parent function $f(x)$ , if you add a constant to the whole function, i.e. you perform the transformation

$f(x) \to f(x)+k$

you shift the graph of the parent function by $k$ units, upwards if $k$ is positive, downwards otherwise.

In this case, so, you're shifting, the graph of $e^x$ 5 units upwards. Since the parent function passes through the point $(0,1)$ , because $e^0=1$ , the shifted graph mantains the same $x$ coordinate, but the $y$ coordinate is increased by 5, because of the 5 units upwards shift.
