Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side. Then (x+7) is the length of the longer side, and (3x-7) is the length of the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem gives the relation ...

  (3x -7)² = x² +(x +7)²

  9x² -42x +49 = x² +x² +14x +49

  7x² -56x = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract the right side, simplify

  7x(x -8) = 0

Values of x that satisfy this equation are x=0 and x=8. We know x=0 is not a viable solution, so ...

the shortest side is 8 units long

Art [367]
Where an, an-1,a2, a1, a0 are constants. We call the term containing the highest power of x the leading term, and we call an the leading coefficient. The degree of the polynomial is the power of x in the leading term. We have already seen degree 0, 1, and 2 polynomials which were the constant, linear, and quadratic functions, respectively. Degree 3, 4, and 5

What is the correct radical form of this expression?
Sophie [7]

Option A. \sqrt[5]{\left(32 a^{10} b^{\frac{5}{2}}\right)^{2}} is the correct radical form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The numerator of the exponential is kept where it is whereas when converting an exponential into a radical, the denominator becomes the root of the variable.

The numerator of the exponential is 2 while the denominator is 5.

Step 2:

So the numerator is kept where it is while the denominator, 5 becomes the root of the variable.

Out of the given options, options 2, 3 and 4 have square roots so they cannot be the answers. Option 1 has a root to the power of 5, so it is the correct radical form.

So option 1 is the right answer.
