Answer:

b = 5.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a right triangle, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.

We know that the hypotenuse is 9, and one leg is 7. We are missing the other leg which is called b.

The Pythagorean theorem tells us that if the hypotenuse is c and the legs of the right triangle are a and b, then we have c^{2} = a^{2} +b^{2}

So we're going to solve this formula for the values given c= 9 and a = 7

9^{2} =7^{2} +b^{2} \\81=49+b^{2} \\81-49=b^{2} \\32=b^{2} \\\sqrt{32} =b

Thus, b = \sqrt{32} =5.65

Apply the Pythagoras Theorem

{c }^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}
{9 }^{2}  =  {7}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}
81 =  49+  {b}^{2}
81  -  49 = {b}^{2}
32= {b}^{2}
Take square root of both sides

b =  \sqrt{32}
b = 4  \sqrt{2}

A car was valued at $44,000 in the year 1993. The value depreciates to $15,000 by year 2002.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The car will have lost it's total value by 2007.

Step-by-step explanation:

If initially the car was valued at 44,000$, and after 9 years it's value dropped to 15,000$, we can say that the car's value dropped in 29,000$. If we suppose that the drop is the same every year, we can say that it was of 3,222,2$ by each year.

This amount of money is the 7,3% of the initial value of the car (I multiplied 3,222,2 x 100 : 44,000).

a) The annual rate of change was of 7,3%.

b) There are 14 years between 1993 and 2007. If we multiply 7,3% by 14, we get that the car lost 102,2% of it's initial value.

Using elimination, what is <br> -4x+2y=-12<br> 4x+8y=-24
Kitty [74]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1.2 and y = -3.6 → (1.2, -3.6)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-4x+2y=-12\\4x+8y=-24\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad10y=-36\qquad\text{divide both sides by 10}\\.\qquad\qquad\boxed{y=-3.6}\\\\\text{Put the value of y to the first equation}\\\\-4x+2(-3.6)=-12\\-4x-7.2=-12\qquad\text{add 7.2 to both sides}\\-4x=-4.8\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\boxed{x=1.2}
