Answer:
10 1/16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be used.
(8 +x)² = x² +15²
64 +16x +x² = x² +225
16x = 161
x = 161/16 = 10 1/16 = 10.0625 . . . cm
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
2a+ 2/a =4
Multiply each side by a to clear the fraction
a( 2a+ 2/a) =4*a
Distribute
2a^2 +2 = 4a
Subtract 4a from each side
2a^2 -4a +2 = 4a-4a
2a^2 -4a +2 =0
Divide by 2
2/2 a^2 -4a/2 +2/2 =0/2
a^2 -2a +1=0
Factor
(a-1) (a-1) =0
Using the zero product property
a=1
2a^2 -2/a^2
2(1)^2 -2/1^2
2-2
0
In order to make a table, we sample some x values (whichever we want), and we compute the expression for those value. Each x value will yield a unique y value.
If you need this table to graph the function, you'll only need two points, since this is a line, and having two points you just need to connect them.
Here are some samples, feel free to make more if you need to:





So, we have the following table
