Why is it difficult to find length of the hypotenuse the same way the length of the legs can be found?

It is difficult to find length that way because you still need that extra step where are apply the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs), which could use a lot of useless squaring, when you could do something clever instead.

Answer:

bc the length of the hypotenuse is the sum of the other two legs. thats why the equation is:  a^2(hypotenuse) = b^2  + c^2 (the other two legs)

This pencil cup is made out of plastic. It is 5 inches tall and has a radius of 1.75 inches. How many square inches of plastic w
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

To make the cup 64.57 square inches of plastic were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cup has the format of a cylinder with a open top. The surface area of the cup is given by the area of it's base (a circle) and the area of it's walls, wich can be seen as rectangle where the width is the length of the circle at the base and the height is the height of the cylinder. So we have:

area of the base = pi*r^2 = 3.14*(1.75)^2 = 3.14*3.0625 = 9.616 square inches

area of the walls = 2*pi*r*h = 2*3.14*(1.75)*5 = 54.95 square inches

surface area of the cup = area of the base + area of the walls = 9.616 + 54.95

surface area of the cup = 64.57 square inches

To make the cup 64.57 square inches of plastic were used.

Consider function f.
tekilochka [14]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=\sqrt{7x-21}

To find:

The steps of finding the inverse function f^{-1}(x).

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\sqrt{7x-21}

The steps of finding the inverse function are:

Step 1: Substitute f(x)=y.

y=\sqrt{7x-21}

Step 2: Interchange x and y.

x=\sqrt{7y-21}

Step 3: Taking square on both sides, we get

x^2=7y-21

Step 4: Adding 21 on both sides, we get

x^2+21=7y

Step 5: Divide both sides by 7.

\dfrac{1}{7}x^2+3=y

Step 6: Substitute y=f^{-1}(x).

\dfrac{1}{7}x^2+3=f^{-1}(x), where x\geq 0.

Therefore, the inverse of the given function is f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{1}{7}x^2+3 and the arrangement of steps is shown above.

Write the following using algebraic notation, using the letter x for any unknown numbers:
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

\dfrac{x+7}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is "I think of a number, add seven then divide by five".

Let the unknown number be x.

Now, add 7 to the number = x+7

If we divided them by 5, \dfrac{x+7}{5}.

So, the required algebraic notation is  \dfrac{x+7}{5}.
