Answer:

2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse of the second triangle = √(9²-5²)

= 2√14

so,

x = √{(2√14)²-6²}

= 2√5

Answer:

2sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The left triangle is a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs  and c is the hypotenuse

5^2 + b^2 = 9^2

b^2 = 9^2 - 5^2

b^2 = 81-25

b^2 =56

Taking the square root of each side

b = sqrt(56) = sqrt(4*14) = 2 sqrt(14)

The right side is also a right triangle so we can  use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs  and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + 6^2 = (sqrt(56))^2

x^2 +36 = 56

x^2 = 56-36

x^2 = 20

Taking the square root

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(20) = sqrt(4*5) = 2sqrt(5)

A line has a slope of -8 and a Y intercept of 5 what is the equation of the line in standard form
Airida [17]

Answer:

8x + y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.  The y-intercept is (0, 5).  Substituting -8 for m and 5 for b, we get:

y = mx + b => y = -8x + 5

Put this into "standard form" by adding 8x to both sides:

8x + y = 5

PLS HELP. BRAINLIEST/5 STARS TO CORRECT ANSWER
fenix001 [56]

Where p is the distance the focus is above the vertex, the equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) can be written as

... y = 1/(4p)·(x -h)² +k


The vertex is halfway between the focus and directrix. The focus of your parabola is on the y-axis at y=6, and the directrix of your parabola is at y=-6, so the vertex of your parabola is on the y-axis at y=0. That is, the vertex is

... (h, k) = (0, 0).


The distance p from the focus at y=6 to the vertex at y=0 is 6 units, so

... p = 6.


Filling these values into the equation gives

... y = 1/(4·6)·(x -0)² +0

... y = (1/24)x²
