Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem says:

One Leg ^ 2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2

<u>Note:</u> This theorem holds true for right triangles

This problem is in fact of a right triangle as said. So we use the theorem to find the other leg's length.

One Leg ^ 2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2

8^2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = 17^2

64 + Another Leg ^ 2 = 289

Another Leg ^ 2 = 289 - 64

Another Leg ^ 2 = 225

The other is the square root of 225, which is 15

The correct answer is B

2. Write a quadratic function that has -intercepts (- 3, 0) and (4, 0) and passes through the point (5, 8)
Reptile [31]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2-x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Quadratic Function</u>

Standard Form of Quadratic Function

The standard representation of a quadratic function is:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

where a,b, and c are constants.

When the zeros of f (x1 and x2) are given, it can be written as:

f(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)

Where a is a constant called the leading coefficient.

We are given the two roots of f: x1=-3 and x2=4, thus:

f(x)=a(x+3)(x-4)

We also know that f(5)=8, thus:

f(5)=a(5+3)(5-4)=8

Operating:

a(8)(1)=8

Solving:

a=1

The function is:

f(x)=1(x+3)(x-4)

Operating:

\boxed{f(x)=x^2-x-12}
