That is your triangle.

Now, since its a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x.

The equation for the Pythagorean theorem is this: A^{2}  + B^{2} = C^{2}

So we plug in the values.

(x^{2} ) + (x-9)^{2} = (x + 9)^{2}

We solve for x.

x^{2}  + x^{2} -18x + 81 = x^{2} + 18x + 81

Get everything to the left side of the equation. (x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2, - x^2 = x^2;

-18x - 18x = -36x;    81 - 81 = 0)

x^{2} -36x = 0

Add 36x to both sides, then divide by x.

x^{2} = 36x\\\\x = 36

<u>Shortest Leg = 36 - 9 = 27</u>

<u>Longest Leg = 36</u>

<u>Hypotenuse = 45</u>

Lunna [17]
<h3>Answer:  g(x) = 2^x - 3</h3>

The -3 is not in the exponent

Explanation:

The parent function is f(x) = 2^x. Plugging in x = 0 leads to y = 1. So the point (0,1) is on the f(x) curve. Going from (0,1) to (0,-2) is a vertical shift of 3 units downward. To represent this shift, we tack on a "-3" at the end of the f(x) function.

g(x) = f(x) - 3\\\\g(x) = 2^x - 3

You could look at other points as well, but I find working with x = 0 is easiest.

As a check, plugging x = 0 into g(x) leads to...

g(x) = 2^x - 3\\\\g(0) = 2^0 - 3\\\\g(0) = 1 - 3\\\\g(0) = -2

This confirms our answer.

10. 8x+4y=4. y=mx+b
-8x. -8x
4y=-8x+4
÷4. ÷4. ÷4
y = -2x +1
slope = -2. y-int= 1

11. slope is changing y over changing x
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1) (0,-1) x1 = 0, y1=-1
(-4-(-1))/(-2-0) (-2,-4) x2 = -2, y2 = -4
(-4 + 1) / (-2)
-3/-2 = 3/2 answer is 3/2
12. b because negative cause it flip in x axis and it become flatter because of the fraction.
13. 2y =8-8x
÷2. ÷2 ÷2
y = 4 - 4x
