A RIGHT triangle has three sides: a, b, c such that a=b and LaTeX: a^2\:+\:b^2\:=\:c^2 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 What is the ratio of the

longest side to the shortest? HINT:Sketch triangle NOTE: Angle A + Angle B = Angle C & Angle A= Angle B

Answer:

c=b\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached image.

A right triangle is considered so when one of its corners are 90°.

If sides a and b are equal in length, then  the corners across from them are equal in size as well.

The only way for this to be possible is if both corners A and B(opposite of sides a and b) are 45°.

Pythagorean theorem

This theorem states that the square of a right triangle's long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides.

In this case:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

but since:

a=b

the equation can be solved by replacing a with b in the equation:

b^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\2b^{2}=c^{2} \\\sqrt{2b^{2} } = c\\b\sqrt{2} =c

The mean of the data is 11

now we find the difference between the mean and each number
1, 2, 3, 0.5, 0.25, 1.25, 1. 

now we square the numbers 
1, 4, 9, 0.25, 0.0625, 1.

now we find the mean of the new numbers
which is 2.1875

2.1875 is your standard deviation.

Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x2 − 3x − 10 from x = −5 to x = 10.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Average rate of change = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x^2 − 3x − 10 from x = −5 to x = 10.


f(-5) = (-5)^2 − 3(-5) − 10 = 25 + 15 - 10 = 30

f(10) = 10^2 − 3(10) − 10 = 100 - 30 - 10 = 60

Average rate of change:

   f(10) - f(-5)                     60  -  30                         30

-------------------- =   ------------------------------- =   -----------------------  = 2

     10 - (-5)                            15                               15
