Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

If a=b, you are asking for a whole number c such that ...

  c = √(a² +a²) = a√2

If 'a' is a whole number, the only whole numbers that satisfy this equation are ...

  c = 0 and a = 0.

  0 = 0×√2

The lowest whole number c such that c = √(a²+b²) and a=b=whole number is zero.

__

√2 is irrational, so there cannot be two non-zero whole numbers such that c/a=√2.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you allow 'a' to be irrational, then you can choose any value of 'c' that you like. Whole numbers begin at 0, so 0 is the lowest possible value of 'c'. If you don't like that one, you can choose c=1, which makes a=(√2)/2 ≈ 0.707, an irrational number. The problem statement here puts no restrictions on the values of 'a' and 'b'.

A rectangle has two different side lengths: One is (4p-5) inches. The other is (3p+2) inches. Find the perimeter of the rectangl
Anika [276]

The perimeter of rectangle is 14p-6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

One side of rectangle = 4p-5  inches

Length of other side = 3p+2 inches

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( Length of one side + Length of other side)

Perimeter = 2(4p-5+3p+2)\\Perimeter = 2(7p-3)\\Perimeter = 14p-6

The perimeter of rectangle is 14p-6.

Keywords: rectangle, perimeter

What key features of a quadratic graph can be identified and how are the graphs affected when constants or coefficients are adde
leonid [27]

The key features of a quadratic graph that can identified are; x and y intercepts, axis of symmetry and vertex

<h3>Keys features of a quadratic graph</h3>

The key features are the x-intercepts, y-intercepts, axis of symmetry, and the vertex.

If we add units we can move this function upwards, downwards leftwards and rightwards.

  • If we add a positive number to the x-variable, then the graph will move to the left.
  • If we add a negative number to the x-variable, then the graph will move to the right.
  • If we add a positive number to y-variable, then the graph will move upwards.
  • If we add a negative number to y-variable, then the graph will move downwards.

Hence, if we compare the rules we use before with linear function, there's no distinction between horizontal and vertical movements, because if we add to x-variable, then y-variable will be also affected.
