Answer:

c = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

lets say 10 = a and 7.5 = b (this is because they are the legs of the triangle and variables a and b represent the legs of the triangle)

plug into the Pythagorean theorem.

10^2 + 7.5^2 = c^2

simplify (here you just square 10 and 7.5)

100 + 56.25 = c^2

simplify

156.25 = c^2

simplify

(here you get the square root of 156.25 and c^2, the positive square root of 156.25 is 12.5 and the square root of c^2 is c)

12.5 = c

Answer: 12.5

Step-by-step explanation: the pythagorean theorem is used to solve this equation theorem is (a x a) + (b x b) = (c x c) this is also called squaring

first substitute them in : (10 x 10) + (7.5 x 7.5) = (c x c)

then multiply 10 x 10 = 100 and 7.5 x 7.5 = 56.25 then substitute again

100 + 56.25 = (c x c) then add

156.25 = (c x c) then calculate the square root of 156.25 which is 12.5

hope this helps mark me brainliest if it helped

The graph of an exponential function is given. Which of the following is the correct equation of the function?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

If one of the data points has the form  

(

0

,

a

)

, then a is the initial value. Using a, substitute the second point into the equation  

f

(

x

)

=

a

(

b

)

x

, and solve for b.

If neither of the data points have the form  

(

0

,

a

)

, substitute both points into two equations with the form  

f

(

x

)

=

a

(

b

)

x

. Solve the resulting system of two equations in two unknowns to find a and b.

Using the a and b found in the steps above, write the exponential function in the form  

f

(

x

)

=

a

(

b

)

x

.

EXAMPLE 3: WRITING AN EXPONENTIAL MODEL WHEN THE INITIAL VALUE IS KNOWN

In 2006, 80 deer were introduced into a wildlife refuge. By 2012, the population had grown to 180 deer. The population was growing exponentially. Write an algebraic function N(t) representing the population N of deer over time t.

SOLUTION

We let our independent variable t be the number of years after 2006. Thus, the information given in the problem can be written as input-output pairs: (0, 80) and (6, 180). Notice that by choosing our input variable to be measured as years after 2006, we have given ourselves the initial value for the function, a = 80. We can now substitute the second point into the equation
