Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Thales theorem:

● SP/LN = RP /RN

Notice that RN = 2×RP

● SP/LN = RP/2RP

● SP /LN = 1/2

● SP / (5x-14) = 0.5

● (2x+3)/(5x-14) = 0.5

● 2x+3 = 0.5(5x-14)

● 2x+3 = 2.5x -7

Add 7 to both sides

● 2x+3+7 = 2.5x-7+7

● 2x+10 = 2.5x

Sustract 2x brom both sides

● 2x+10-2x = 2.5x-2x

● 10 = 0.5x

Multiply both sides by 2

● 10×2 = 0.5x×2

● 20 = x

Replace x with 20 in Sp expression:

● SP = 2x+3

● SP = 2×20+3

● SP = 43

F(x)=8x^2-2x+3<br> g(x)=12x^2+4x-3<br> what is h(x)=f(x)-g(x)?

Trava [24]

Answer: $h(x)=-4x^2-6x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the function h(x), you need to subtract the function $f(x)=8x^2-2x+3$ and the function $g(x)=12x^2+4x-3$ .

$h(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\h(x)=8x^2-2x+3-(12x^2+4x-3)$

Distribute the negative sign:

$h(x)=8x^2-2x+3-12x^2-4x+3$

Now you can add the like terms:

$h(x)=-4x^2-6x+6$

Therefore, you get that the function h(x) is:

$h(x)=-4x^2-6x+6$

makkiz [27]

Answer:

14 is the length of the missing side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem.

$48^{2}+b^{2}=50^{2}$

$2304+b^{2}=2500$

$\sqrt{b^{2}}=\sqrt{196}$

$b=14$
