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.

Given: 2x^2+3x-5, g(x)=x+9. Find: (fg)(3)
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

264

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2+3x-5

g(x)=x+9

(fg)(x)=f(x) \times g(x)

\implies (fg)(x)=(2x^2+3x-5)(x+9)

(fg)(3)=(2(3)^2+3(3)-5)(3+9)

\implies (fg)(3)=22 \times 12

\implies (fg)(3)=264

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 56. Find the two integers
vredina [299]

Answer:

Two consecutive integers are of the form

x and x + 1

Their product is equal to 56

x(x + 1) = 56

Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows

x2 + x - 56 = 0

Factor and solve

(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0

solutions: x = 7 , x = -8

x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence

x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.
