F(4z) = 3 * (4z)^2 - 6
= 48z^2 - 6

The 7th one to board is the last 1 standing.
The number of different ways that this could play out is
(7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = <em>5,040</em>
Answer to the first triangle: 15To solve this we will use the Pythagorean theorem
Pythagorean theorem formula:

Lets do the first triangle.
17 is the hypotenuse, so its going to replace c in the formula.
8 is the height and it is going to replace a in the formula.
a is what we are trying to find, so our b in the equation is going to be the unknown.





now we know that the missing length in the first triangle (a) is 15Can you solve the Other one?
Just comment if you need help on the other one.
We know <span>square of the sum <span>formula</span></span>
(a+b)²=a²+2ab+b²
so we need
x²+8x+c=(x²+2*4*x+4²)-16+c=(x+4)²+c-16,
so for full square we need c-16=0
c=16
Answer: c=16
