The right triangle altitude theorem states that the altitude of a right angled triangles formed on the hypotenuse is equal to the geometric mean of the 2 line segments it creates.

This can be represented as:

$h = \sqrt{(xy)}$

Where,

h = the length of the altitude,

x and y are the lengths of the 2 segments formed.

Therefore, the length of the altitude = $h = \sqrt{(14*8)}$

$h = \sqrt{112}$

$h = \sqrt{16}*\sqrt{7}$

$h = 4\sqrt{7}$

Please help me simplify this fraction. Or is it already in its simplest form?

guapka [62]

Answer:

1 / x^8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a^b / a^c = a^ (b-c)

x^7 / x^ 15 = x^ (7-15) = x^-8

We also that that a^-b = 1/ a^b

x^-8 = 1 / x^8
