Answer:

a stands for one of the sides opposite the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagoras theorem is

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two opposite sides.

P.S. Please mark my answer as brainliest, I need it to rank up.

Answer:

A theorem stating that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other sides. It is mathematically stated as c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b the lengths of the other two sides.

A. For y= 2x-1, the slope is 2 and the y intercept is -1. Therefore, we should first plot (0,-1). From there, for each increment of x, increase y by 2. For y= 4x-5, the slope is 4 and the y ntercelt is -5. Therefore we should plot (0,-5) and plot an increase of 4 on the y axis per increase of 1 on the x axis. The solution is where the lines cross.

How can you restrict the domain of the function f(x)=|x+4|-2 so the range of the inverse function f^-1(x),is [-4, )

wariber [46]

The range of the inverse has to match the domain of the original function. We want to have $f^{-1}(x)$ map to $[-4,\infty)$ , so we restrict the domain of $f(x)$ to this interval.
