Answer:
b=-784!
Step-by-step explanation:
If pythagorean theorem is the following (see below), then we can work backwards in order to solve for b!


Now all that's left is to subtract 1225 and we should have our answer!

Answer:
The first graph. (an upside down U)
Step-by-step explanation:
The leading coefficient of a polynomial determines the direction of the graph's end behavior.
A positive leading coefficient has the end behavior point up when an even degree and point opposite directions when an odd degree with the left down and the right up.
A negative leading coefficient has the end behavior point down when an even degree and point opposite directions when an odd degree with the left up and the right down.
This graph has two evens. Because its negative, only one is possible - the first graph.
The other two graphs are odd with both starting down on the left and point up on the right which is a positive leading coefficient. These are not possible graphs.
The first graph is the solution.
Because 17 - 14 = 14 - 11 = 3, the ratio of the arithmetic series is 3;
Then, A4 = 8 - 3 = 5; A3 = 5 - 3 = 2; A2 = 2 - 3 = -1; A1 = -1 - 3 = -4.
But 68 = A1 + ( n- 1 ) x r;
68 = -4 + ( n - 1) x 3;
( n - 1 ) x 3 = 72;
n - 1 = 24;
n = 25;
Finally, Sn = ( A1 + An) x n / 2; then, S25 = ( - 4 + 68) x 25/2;
S25 = 64 x 25 / 2;
S25 = 32 x 25;
S25 = 800;
The value of sum is 800.
