Answer:
x^2 + 2x^2 + 1 = x^4 + 2x^2 +1
Step-by-step explanation:
pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs
substitute what we know
(x^2 -1)^2 + (2x)^2 = (x^2+1)^2
FOIL
(x^2 -1)^2 = (x^2-1 ) (x^2-1) = x^4 -x^2 - x^2 +1 = x^4 -2x^2 +1
(2x)^2 = 4x^2
(x^2+1)^2 = (x^2+1 ) (x^2+1) = x^4 +x^2 +x^2 +1= x^4 + 2x^2 +1
substitute these back in
x^4 -2x^2 +1 +4x^2 = x^4 + 2x^2 +1
combine like terms
x^2 + 2x^2 + 1 = x^4 + 2x^2 +1
Since the left and right side are equal, this is a right triangle
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept exists when y = 0; the coordinate that results from our x-intercept is (4, 0).
The y-intercept exists when x = 0; the coordinate that results from our y-intercept is (0, -2).
We can use these 2 coordinates to find the slope of the line we need to write:

Now we can use that slope along with one of our points to write the equation of the line. I am going to use the point-slope form, then we will solve it for y to put it into slope-intercept. Let's use the coordinate (4, 0). Keep in mind that regardless of which point we choose to use to write our equation, we will get the same equation.
y - 0 = 1/2(x - 4) and
y = 1/2x - 2
That's your equation!
