A^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + b^2 = 5^2

16 + b^2 = 25

b^2 = 9

b = 3 or b = -3

Since b is a leg of a triangle, we discard the negative answer.

b = 3

A = bh/2 = 3 in * 4 in / 2 = 6 in^2

Answer: D. 6 in^2

Find (ƒ – g)(x) where ƒ(x) = 2x2 + 5x – 8, g(x) = –x2 + 6x.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = 2x2 + 5x – 8

g(x) = –x2 + 6x

(ƒ – g)(x)=2x2+5x-8-(-x2+6x)

=2x2+5x-8+x2-6x

=3x2-x-8

A ball is thrown off the roof of the school. Its path can be described by the equation: h(t) = -2t^2 + 8t + 10, where h is heigh

zimovet [89]

Answer:

10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function $h(t)=-2t^2+8t+10$ represents the height, $h$ , in meters, $t$ seconds after the ball is thrown.

Since the ball is thrown off the roof, then ball's height will be equal to the roof's height before being thrown (0 seconds). Therefore, substitute $t=0$ into the given function $h(t)=-2t^2+8t+10$ :
