What is the value of x in the diagram?

Mathematics

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2+ ( 2x+2)^2 = (2x+3)^2

FOIL the squared terms

x^2 +(4x^2 + 4x+4x+4) = 4x^2 + 6x+6x +9

Combine like terms

5x^2+8x +4 = 4x^2 +12x +9

Subtract  4x^2 +12x +9 from each side

5x^2+8x +4  -4x^2 -12x -9= 4x^2 +12x +9-4x^2 -12x -9

x^2 -4x -5 =0

Factor

(x-5) (x+1) = 0

Using the zero product property

x=5   x=-1

But x cannot be negative or we would have negative length

x=5

Determine if each graph below represents a function. Then state its domain and range. PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. NEED
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: Graph 10 and 12 are both functions while graph 13 is not a function

Step-by-step explanation: The best way to know if the graph is a function is by the vertical line test, if the points on the graph pass through the straight vertical line more than once, it is not a function, but if it passes though the line only once then it is a function. Now for the Domain and range, the best way to see it is as DomainX and RangeY, this is something I learned when I did functions, and it helped me a lot. Now if you look at 10 and 12, both go on infinitely, as they have no stopping point, meaning that the domain would be (-infinity, infinity), and for 13 you can simply put the coordinates for each point in a chart, with your X and Y, remember DomainX and RangeY, this should help you understand which is X and which is Y. I hope this helped a bit. Now for RangeY, for 10, look for the lowest number in the Y axis that the line goes, for this case its, -1, and then look for the highest number on the Y axis that the line goes, aka 3, now use this as a example and you can easily find 12's Range.
