Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude is one leg of the right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base, and the triangle side. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so you have ...

... (17 cm)² = (altitude)² + (16 cm/2)²

... altitude = √(17² -8²) cm = √225 cm

... altitude = 15 cm

The two triangles are similar. Determine the values of x, y, and z.
insens350 [35]

Answer:

y= 20 m

x= 15 m

z= 22 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

15+x=30 m

x=30-15

x= 15 m

z-18=40

z= 40-18

z= 22m

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x)=4 - 5x? (Hint: use the commutative property)
Tom [10]

Answer:

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercepts:

The line which intersect on x-axis and y-axis are called intercepts.

y-intercept: The line or function which intersect at y-axis. So when the line intersect at y-axis, X coordinate is zero.

So in the given Function Put x = 0 we will get the y-intercept

f(x)= 4-5x

Put x =0

f(0)= 4-5\times 0

f(0)= 4-0=4

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.

Inverse of f(x) = x2 − 9
luda_lava [24]
To find the inverse of a function, replace every x in the equation with a y, and replace every y in the equation with an x:

x = y^{2} - 9

Add 9 to both sides:

y^{2} = x + 9

Square root both sides to get y by itself:

y = \sqrt{x+9}

This equation can be simplified by taking the square root of 9 out of the root:

\sqrt{9} = 3
y = 3 + \sqrt{x}

The inverse of this function is y = 3 + √x.
