Answer:

6 ft and 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the length of one leg then (x + 2) is the other leg.

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle, that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

But x > 0 ⇒ x = 6

Thus the 2 sides are 6 ft and x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 ft

What is the range of this function?<br> y =x + 1 - 8
diamong [38]

Answer:

range:  {y | y>= -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a radical here.

y = root( x + 1)  - 8

y is defined as long as  x+1 >= 0

so domain must be x > -1

y values would start from -8

and go upward.

range:  {y | y>= -8)
