A^2 + b^2 = c^2
11^2 + b^2 = 17^2
121 + b^2 = 289
b^2 = 289-121= 168
b = 13.0 cm
Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you find the slope by using the slope formula and get 0. Now, choose one coordinate and plug it into the equation y = mx + b along with the slope. If you chose the first coordinate, the equation would be -1 = (0)(5) + b. After solving for b (the y-intercept) you would get -1. Lastly, you rewrite the equation as y = -1.
When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7
