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}

X is all the following except<br> a term<br> a variable<br> a constant<br> an expression
lisov135 [29]

Answer: a constant

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant is a numerical expression like 2, 0,78 etc .

A variable is a alphabetical expression that vary like a,b,c,d,x,y,z.

An expression can consists of both numerical and alphabets and also any arithmetic expression like x, 2abc, 6a+2c etc

A term consist of either numbers and variables multiplied together or only numbers or variable like 2xy, x, 2ab etc.

X is all (a term, a variable , an expression) except a constant because a constant is a numerical expression.

The experiment with the least number of trials.
 
Experimental probability is more accurate and more close to theoretical probability by having the most trials. More trials = more accuracy. Less trials = less accuracy.

Anna007 [38]

Both functions decrease at (-1, 2)

<h3>How to determine the decreasing intervals of the function?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

The polynomial function f(x) is represented by the graph.

From the graph, the polynomial function decreases at (-2, 2)

The absolute function is given as;

f(x) = =5|x + 1| + 10

The vertex of the above function is

Vertex = (-1, 10)

Because a is negative (a= -5), the vertex is a maximum.

This means that the function decreases at (-1, ∞)

So, we have

(-2, 2) and (-1, ∞)

Combine both intervals

(-1, 2)

This means that both functions decrease at (-1, 2)

See attachment 2 for the number line that represents the interval where both functions are decreasing
