So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Right? That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.
In this case. We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b. a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.
So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c. We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.
39^2 + 40^2 = x^2
I'll let you take it from there.
There is 3.28084 feet in a meter
First, Use the slope equation to find the slope of the line passing thru these two points:
m=rise/run
Here, the rise is 13-3, or 10, and the run is 7-2, or 5. Thus, the slope, m, is 10/5, or 2: m=2.
We want the slope-intercept form, so let's begin with its general form:
y=mx+b. Substitute the slope 2 for m: y=2x+b. Now choose either of the given points. Arbitrarily I am choosing (2,3). Then x=2 and y=3.
Substituting these values into y=2x+b: 3 = 2(2) + b, or b= 3 -4, or b = -1.
Then the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is y = 2x - 1.
Answer:
lesser x = -6
greater x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3)^2 - 81 = 0
(x - 3)^2 = 81
x - 3 = +/- 9
x - 3 = 9 or x - 3 = -9
x = 12 or x = -6
