By the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=x^2+y^2

Which just means that the hypotenuse (longest side) squared is equal to the sum of the side lengths squared...in this case:

h^2=5^2+13^2

h^2=25+169

h^2=194

h=√194

h≈13.93 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)

Mckensey is correct as shown above.

Cara's mistake was in letting c be a side length instead of the length of the hypotenuse...

What is the simple interest earned on $3,672 at 4.5% for three years?
olasank [31]

Answer: interest at the end of 3 years is $495.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

From the information given

T = 3 years

P = $3,672

R = 4.5%

Therefore

I = (3672 × 4.5 × 3)/100

I = 49572/100

I = 495.72

Hey can you please help me posted picture of the question
Andrews [41]
If we observe the graph it crosses x-axis at the following points:
1) x = - 2
2) x = - 5

This means, x+ 2 and x + 5 are the factors of the polynomial. A polynomial can be expressed as the product of its factors. So we can express the given polynomial as (x + 2)(x + 5)

Thus the answer to above question is option C

If f(x) = 3x + 10x and g(x) = 4x - 2, find (f - g)(x).
Anika [276]

Answer:

(f-g)(x)=9x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The function  (f-g)(x) means subtract the expression of g function from the expression of f function.

So we have:  (3x+10x) - (4x - 2) = (13x) - (4x -2) = 13x -4x +2 = 9x+2

Hence  (f-g)(x)=9x+2
