Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 12² = 13², so
x² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
x² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 5
The function represents the number of accidents (f(x)) per 50 million miles driven as a function of the driver's age (x).
f(45) indicates that you have to find the value of f(x) when x=45, to do so replace the equation of the function with the value of x and solve for f(x)
For x=45 years f(x)=190
f(45)=190; This value indicates that 45-year-old drivers had 190 accidents per 50 million miles driven.
