The friend is wrong - According to the Pythagorean Theorm, if c is the hypotenuse and a and b are opposite sides then c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}
if c=65 inches, a=16 inches and b = 63 inches, then
65^{2} =16 ^{2} + 63^{2}
right hand side of the equation = 256 + 3969 = 4225
left hand side of the equation = 65^{2}= 4225
So we see, left hand side = right hand side
Hence the theorm is proved.
In order to find the expression that is equivalent to (t*s)(x), use the following steps:
s(x) = x - 7t(x) = 4x^2 - x + 3
(t*s)(x) = t(s(x)) = t(x - 7) = 4(x - 7)^2 - (x - 7) + 3 = 4(x - 7)^2 - x + 7 + 3
The correct result would be 4(x – 7)2 – (x – 7) + 3.
