Use the pythagorean theorem,
a^2+b^2=c^2
1^2+1^2=c^2
1+1=c^2
2=c^2
2=2
Square root of 2 is 1.41 (approximately)
c=1.41

Answer:

= x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^4 -x^2 +9

g(x) = x^3 +3x^2 +12

We want to find f-g

(f-g) (x) = x^4 -x^2 +9 - (x^3 +3x^2 +12)

Distribute the minus sign

(f-g) (x) = x^4 -x^2 +9 - x^3 -3x^2 -12

= x^4 -x^3 -4x^2 -3

Solve the following system using elimination:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{2 y - x = 21 | (equation 2)

Add 1/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(16 y)/7 = 128/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/16:
{7 x + 2 y = -19 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Subtract 2 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{7 x+0 y = -35 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 7:
{x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 8 | (equation 2)

Collect results:
Answer: {x = -5, y = 8
