Answer:

BC=15\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^2=AC^2+BC^2

substitute the given values

17^2=8^2+BC^2

solve for BC

BC^2=17^2-8^2

BC^2=225

BC=15\ units

Given the function h(x) =1/3 |x-6| +4, evaluate the function when x = - 3, - 2, and 0
Masja [62]

|x| = x for x ≥ 0

examples:

|3| = 3; |0.56| = 0.56; |102| = 102

|x| = -x for x < 0

examples:

|-3| = -(-3) = 3; |-0.56| = -(-0.56) = 0.56; |-102| = 102

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use PEMDAS:

P Parentheses first

E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

h(x)=\dfrac{1}{3}|x-6|+4

Put the values of x to the equation of the function h(x):

x=-3\to h(-3)=\dfrac{1}{3}|-3-6|+4=\dfrac{1}{3}|-9|+4=\dfrac{1}{3}(9)+4=3+4=7\\\\x=-2\to h(-2)=\dfrac{1}{3}|-2-6|+4=\dfrac{1}{3}|-8|+4=\dfrac{1}{3}(8)+4=\dfrac{8}{3}+\dfrac{12}{3}=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\x=0\to h(0)=\dfrac{1}{3}|0-6|+4=\dfrac{1}{3}|-6|+4=\dfrac{1}{3}(6)+4=2+4=6
