Answer:

Short leg is 9.

Hypotenuse is  41.

Long leg is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shortest leg  is x.

Hypotenuse is (4x + 5).

Longer leg is shorter than hypotenuse, and they are consecutive numbers,

so longer leg is (4x + 5 - 1) = (4x + 4).

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (4x + 4)² = (4x + 5)²

x² + 16x² + 2*4x*4 + 4² = 16x² + 2*4x*5 + 5²

x² + 32x + 16 = 40x + 25

(x - 4)² = 5²

x - 4 = 5 or  x - 4 = - 5

x = 9 , or x = - 1

Leg cannot be negative.

So, short leg is 9.

Hypotenuse (4x+5) = (4*9 + 5) = 41

Long leg is 41 - 1 = 40

Check:

9² + 40² = 41²

1681 = 1681 True

If f(x)=3 x -1 and g(x)=0.03x^3-x+1 an approximate solution for the equation f(x)=g(x) is
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

  x ≈ {-11.789, +0.501, 11.288}

Step-by-step explanation:

The cubic g(x) - f(x) = 0 has three real solutions. It can be rewritten as ...

  g(x)-f(x)=0\\\\0.03x^3-x+1-(3x-1)=0\\\\0.03x^3-4x+2=0

Since the solutions are irrational, they are best found using a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. My favorite graphing calculator shows the approximate solutions below.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

Your expression for f(x) is ambiguous in that many Brainly questions have the exponentiation indicator replaced by a blank: 3 x -1 often means 3^x -1 and sometimes means 3^(x-1). We have taken the expression at face value and have assumed it is a linear expression. If otherwise, the problem is basically worked the same way: write a function h(x) = g(x) - f(x) and look for solutions to h(x) = 0. Graphing can be useful.

Need help with full explanation first to answer extra points!!!
blsea [12.9K]

Answers:

<h2>1. 35 </h2><h2>2. 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Those brackets indicate absolute value. Absolute value is the distance of a number from 0 on the number line. In other words, negatives don't matter. There is also no such thing as a negative absolute value.

-2     -1      0      1       2

Both -2 and 2 are the same distance from 0, just in the opposite direction. Both numbers have the same absolute value, which is 2.

Hope This helps. If it did, then....
