6 0
Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0

3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 15 cm. What is the length for the missing leg if one of the two legs of the triangle is 5?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The other leg is  12 cm  long.

Step-by-step explanation:

c

2

=

a

2

+

b

2

,

where:

c

is the hypotenuse, and  

a

and  

b

are the other two sides (legs).

Let  

a

=

9 cm

Rearrange the equation to isolate  

b

2

. Plug in the values for  

a

and  

c

, and solve.

b

2

=

c

2

−

a

2

b

2

=

(

15 cm

)

2

−

(

9 cm

)

2

Simplify.

b

2

=

225 cm

2

−

81

cm

2

b

2

=

144 cm

2

Take the square root of both sides.

b

=

√

144 cm

2

Simplify.

b

=

12 cm
