das is part of a proof of pythagorean theorem


for a right triangle (has one interior angle as 90 degrees)

a^2+b^2=c^2

a and b are the lengths of the legs and c=length of hypotnuse (side oposite right angle)


we see that the lengths of the legs are 9in and 12in

a=9 and b=12 (or a=12 and b=9, doesn't matter)

we want to find c, or x in this case

so

a^2+b^2=c^2

9^2+12^2=x^2

81+144=x^2

225=x^2

15=x

x=15in

answer is 15 inches

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2   where c is the hypotenuse

9^2 +12^2 = x^2

81 + 144 = x^2

225 = x^2

taking the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = x

15 =x

x = 15 inches

If f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 2x2 + 1, what is the value of (f × g)(-3)?
Softa [21]

f(x) = 5x − 1 and g(x) = 2x^2 + 1

(f × g)(x) =  (5x − 1)(2x^2 + 1)

(f × g)(x) = 10x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x - 1

Substitute x = - 3

(f × g)(-3) = 10(-3)^3 - 2(-3)^2 + 5(-3) - 1

(f × g)(-3) = 10(-27) - 2(9) -15 - 1

(f × g)(-3) =-270 - 18 - 16

(f × g)(-3) = -236

Answer

- 236

Show that in a quadrilateral ABCD, AB+BC+CD+DA<2(BD+AC)
Snezhnost [94]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length of the diagonals will be more than the side.

Lets suppose the quadrilateral is a rectangle, with sides 6 and 4.

The length of a diagonal is:

√(6*6)+(4*4)

√36+16

√52

7.21(rounded off to 3 sig. fig.)

So, 6+4+6+4<2(7.21+7.21)

20< 2*14.42

20<28.84, which is true.

:)
