Answer:
b = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
b² + 12² = 15²
b² + 144 = 225 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
b² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )
b = 
= 9

Answer:
there is no greatest load
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the load capacities of my truck and my neighbor's truck, respectively. We are given two relations:
x ≥ y +600 . . . . . my truck can carry at least 600 pounds more
x ≤ (1/3)(4y) . . . . . my truck carries no more than all 4 of hers
Combining these two inequalities, we have ...
4/3y ≥ x ≥ y +600
1/3y ≥ 600 . . . . . . . subtract y
y ≥ 1800 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3
My truck's capacity is greater than 1800 +600 = 2400 pounds. This is a lower limit. The question asks for an <em>upper limit</em>. The given conditions do not place any upper limit on truck capacity.
The new y-intercept would be A)-1 because of the 4-5 = -1
