In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration refers to the rate of change of speed with time. We can see that between 0 and 4.7 seconds he accelerated quickly . That means that the rate of change of speed with time was greatest between 0 and 4.7 seconds.

A graph of the motion is shown in the image attached. We can see that he maintained a constant speed after 4.7 seconds.

A store is having a sale on liquid soap and sponges. The cost of 6 bottles of soap is $9.12. The cost of 4 sponges is $5.00 what

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$6.79

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the cost of a bottle of soap. We divide the cost by the number of bottles

$9.12/6 = $1.52 per bottle

We also need to find the cost for a sponge

$5.00/4 = $1.25 per sponge

We want to find the total cost of 2 bottles of soap and 3 sponges

cost = 2 * 1.52 + 3 * 1.25

= 3.04 + 3.75

= 6.79

In Exercises 45–48, let f(x) = (x - 2)2 + 1. Match the<br> function with its graph

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

45) The function corresponds to graph A

46) The function corresponds to graph C

47) The function corresponds to graph B

48) The function corresponds to graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the function f(x) is:

$f(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1$

45)

The function g(x) is given by:

$g(x)=f(x-1)$

using f(x) we can find f(x-1)

$g(x)=((x-1)-2)^{2}+1=(x-3)^{2}+1$

If we take the derivative and equal to zero we will find the minimum value of the parabolla (x,y) and then find the correct graph.

$g(x)'=2(x-3)$

$2(x-3)=0$

$x=3$

Puting it on g(x) we will get y value.

$y=g(3)=(3-3)^{2}+1$

$y=g(3)=1$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (3,1) and it corresponds to (A)</u>

46)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x+2)$

$g(x)=((x+2)-2)^{2}+1$

$g(x)=(x)^{2}+1$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2x$

$0=2x$

$x=0$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(0)=(x)^{2}+1$

$g(0)=1$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (0,1) and it corresponds to (C)</u>

47)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x)+2$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1+2$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+3$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2(x-2)$

$0=2(x-2)$

$x=2$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(2)=(2-2)^{2}+3$

$g(2)=3$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,3) and it corresponds to (B)</u>

48)

Let's use the same method here.

$g(x)=f(x)-3$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1-3$

$g(x)=(x-2)^{2}-2$

Let's find the first derivative and equal to zero to find x and y minimum value.

$g'(x)=2(x-2)$

$0=2(x-2)$

$x=2$

Evaluatinf g(x) at this value of x we have:

$g(2)=(2-2)^{2}-2$

$g(2)=-2$

<u>Then, the minimum point of this function is (2,-2) and it corresponds to (D)</u>

What does 3/4 + 1/3 = <br> quick answers i need to pass this

inn [45]

Answer:

1 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 + 1/3

Get a common denominator of 12

3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12

1/3 * 4/4 =4/12

9/12 + 4/12

13/12

12/12 + 1/12

1 1/12

For the given equation, find the values of a, b, and c, determine the direction in which

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: Table D

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x^2 is -9, the coefficient of x is 7, and the constant is 0, so we know a = -9, b = 7, c = 0.

This eliminates tables A, B, and C.

Thus, table D is the answer.
