Complete Question

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², which in this isosceles triangle becomes a² + a² = c². By combining like terms, 2a² = c². Which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg?

a) substitute values for a and c into the original pythagorean theorem equation.

b) divide both sides of the equation by two, then determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

d) divide both sides of the equation by 2.

Answer:

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem for a right angled triangles states that:

a²+ b²= c²

But for an Isosceles Triangle, where two sides of the triangle are equal, we have:

a²+ a² = c²

By combining like terms

2a² = c²

We square root both sides of the equation.

√2a² = √c

√2a² = c

The final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg = √2a² = c is Option c.

Bill's school is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 5 adult tickets and 14 st
wariber [46]

Answer: The price of an adult ticket = $6

The price of a student ticket = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of an adult ticket be a

Let the price of a student ticket be b.

From the question,

5a + 14b = 198 ...... equation i

10a + 8b = 156....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 5

50a + 140b = 1980 ...... equation iii

50a + 40b = 780 ....... equation iv

Subtract iv from iii

100b = 1200

b = 1200/100

b = 12

Put the value of b into equation ii

10a + 8b = 156

10a + 8(12) = 156

10a + 96 = 156

10a = 156-96

10a = 60

a = 6

The price of an adult ticket = $6

The price of a student ticket = $12

I need to find the limit
Digiron [165]
For x=\dfrac{1}{2} the function is undefined.

\displaystyle
\lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^-} x\sec (\pi x)=\infty\\
\lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^+} x\sec (\pi x)=-\infty\\\\
\lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^-}x\sec (\pi x)\not = \lim_{x\to\tfrac{1}{2}^+}x\sec (\pi x)

So, the limit doesn't exist.
