<u>Trigonometry</u>
[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify</u>
Leg a = 24
Leg b = 7 in
Leg c = <em>x</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 24² + 7² = x²
- Evaluate exponents: 576 + 49 = x²
- Add: 625 = x²
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: 25 = x
- Rewrite/Rearrange: x = 25
The vertex-form equation is
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 =
{-5, 3}
The measurement of x is 3.9999
