How would I solve this?

You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.

Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.

Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.

5² + b² = (2√2)²

25 + b² = 2²(√2)²

25 + b² = 4(2)

25 + b² = 8

b² = 8 - 25

b² = - 17

b = √-17

b= (√17i)

Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.

What are the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial?
MissTica

Answer:

  • leading coefficient: 2
  • degree: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a term with one variable is the exponent of the variable. The degrees of the terms (in the same order) are ...

  6, 0, 7, 1

The highest-degree term is 2x^7. Its coefficient is the "leading" coefficient, because it appears first when the polynomial terms are written in decreasing order of their degree:

  2x^7 -7x^6 -18x -4

The leading coefficient is 2; the degree is 7.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

When a term has more than one variable, its degree is the sum of the exponents of the variables. The term xy, for example, is degree 2.

Does anyone get this?
stepladder [879]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

 In the systems of equation it already gives you the solution for x  which is -2 so all you have to do is substitute -2 into the first equation and solve for y.

y= 2/3x + 3    

x= -2

Substitute x for -2

y = \frac{2}{3}* \frac{-2}1}  + 3  

y= \frac{-4}{3} + \frac{3}{1}    

y = \frac{5}{3}  

so now you have the solution like this (-2,\frac{5}{3})
