Answer:
what is the question
Step-by-step explanation:
Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
When we have a rational function like:
The domain will be the set of all real numbers, such that the denominator is different than zero.
So the first step is to find the values of x such that the denominator (x^2 + 3) is equal to zero.
Then we need to solve:
x^2 + 3 = 0
x^2 = -3
x = √(-3)
This is the square root of a negative number, then this is a complex number.
This means that there is no real number such that x^2 + 3 is equal to zero, then if x can only be a real number, we will never have the denominator equal to zero, so the domain will be the set of all real numbers.
D: x ∈ R.
b) we want to find two different numbers x such that:
r(x) = 1/4
Then we need to solve:
We can multiply both sides by (x^2 + 3)
Now we can multiply both sides by 4:
Now we only need to solve the quadratic equation:
x^2 + 3 - 4*x - 4 = 0
x^2 - 4*x - 1 = 0
We can use the Bhaskara's formula to solve this, remember that for an equation like:
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
the solutions are:
here we have:
a = 1
b = -4
c = -1
Then in this case the solutions are:
x = (4 + 4.47)/2 = 4.235
x = (4 - 4.47)/2 = -0.235
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation
a function has to be on a graph and pass the horizontal line test. if it does not pass it then it will not be a function
