Answer:

The length of hypotenuse is 4.2 feet and length of first leg is 1.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x is the length of the first leg.

It is given that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of its first leg.

Hypotenuse = 3x

The length of the other leg is 4 feet.

Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

x^2+4^2=(3x)^2

x^2+16=9x^2

16=8x^2

2=x^2

\sqrt{2}=x

x = 1.4 feet(nearest tenth)

The length of hypotenuse = 3x = 3×1.4 = 4.2 feet

The length of hypotenuse is 4.2 feet and length of first leg is 1.4 feet.

Sharon was going through the financial records of her company. The profit earned by the company, p(t), over time t, in years, fo
FromTheMoon [43]
For this case what we must do is find a quadratic function that is already factored.
 This is because in the factored quadratic equations, it is easier to observe the zeros of the function.
 In this case, the zeros of the function represent the time at which the company did not make any profit.
 We have the following equation:
 p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
 We observed that there was no gain in:
 t = 3
 t = 5
 The other roots are discarded because they are negative
 Answer:
 
a.p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
