A right triangle has one vertex on the graph of y = x^8, x>0, at (x, y), another at the origin, and the third on the positive
y-axis at (0, y), as shown in the figure. Express the area A of the triangle as a function of x.
1 answer:
Answer:
Area =
Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph attached,
Triangle given is a right triangle.
This triangle ha three vertices (0, y), (x, y) and (0, 0).
Therefore, measure of the base = x units
And measure of the height of the triangle = y units
Area of a triangle =
=
Since, y =
Therefore, Area of the triangle =
=
Area of the given right triangle is units².

<h3>What is an Equilateral Triangle?</h3>A triangle that has all its three sides equal in length, is referred to as an equilateral triangle.
1. Given the each side measures 2 units, and h is the height, applying the Pythagorean theorem, we would have:
h = √(2² - 1²)
h = √(4 - 1)
h = √3
2. Area of the equilateral triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(2)(√3)
Area of the equilateral triangle = √3 units²
3. If x is the side length of the equilateral triangle, we would have:
height (h) = √[x² - (x/2)²] = √[x² - x²/4] = √(3x²/4) = √3/2x
Area = 1/2bh = 1/2(x)(√3/2x) = √3/4 x²

Answer:
2 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Well let's first graph the quadratic equation,
Look at the image below ↓
By looking at the image below we can tell that the graph touches the x axis 2 times at,
<u>(-1,0)</u>
<u>(1 1/3,0)</u>
<em />
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>the parabola touches the x axis twice.</em>
