Answer:
x=9
y=
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a special type of triangle known as a 45-45-90 triangle.
The ratio for the sides of this triangle are x:x:x
Meaning that the two sides other than the hypotenuse are equal, so in this triangle x=9 because it is not a hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse, however, is the value of one side multiplied by .
In this case it is 9, so 9* =
Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:
which simplifies to
now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).
which simplifies to
Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
