Answer:

The other side = \frac{1}{12} units

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has a side of length \frac{1}{4} units and;

the hypotenuse is \frac{1}{3}

According to Pythagorean theorem,

a² + b² = c² , where a and b are the two legs of a triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

Lets say a² = (\frac{1}{4}) ^2   and  c² = ((\frac{1}{3} )^2

b² = c² - a²

b² = \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{144}

So b = \sqrt{1/144} = \frac{1}{12} units.

So the other side = \frac{1}{12} units.

The vertices of triangle LMN are L(3,0), M(7,0) and N(3,8). What is the area of Triangle LMN?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(x, y) → (x – 8, y + 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the vertices of the triangle with their respective coordinates. For the vertex L, the translated coordinates is also given. So, from the original coordinates of L and the new coordinates, we can get the rule used during translation:(7, -3) -> (7 + a, -3 + b) = (-1, 8)7 + a = -1a = -8

-3 + b = 8b = 11

Answer:

A) (-8, -16)

B) (0, 48)

C) (-4, 0), (-12, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the vertex is the minimum y value.

extremes of a function we get by using the first derivation and solving it for y' = 0.

y = x² + 16x + 48

y' = 2x + 16 = 0

2x = -16

x = -8

so, the vertex is at x=-8.

the y value is (-8)² + 16(-8) + 48 = 64 - 128 + 48 = -16

B) is totally simple. it is f(0) or x=0. so, y is 48.

C) is the solution of the equation for y = 0.

the solution for such a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

in our case here

a=1

b=16

c=48

x = (-16 ± sqrt(16² - 4×48)) / 2 = (-16 ± sqrt(256-192)) / 2 =

= (-16 ± sqrt(64)) / 2 = (-16 ± 8) / 2 = (-8 ± 4)

x1 = -8 + 4 = -4

x2 = -8 - 4 = -12

so the x- intercepts are (-4, 0), (-12, 0)
