Answer:

\Huge\boxed{x=7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The first thing we want to do is find the measure of the large leg

To do so we use the Pythagorean theorem which says a^2+b^2=c^2\\

where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse

we want to find b given the hypotenuse and short leg

so  b^2=c^2-a^2

all we have to do is plug in a ( a = short leg so a would equal 12) and c ( c = hypotenuse so c would equal 37)

so

b^2=37^2-12^2\\37^2=1369\\12^2=144\\1369-144=1225\\b^2=1225\\\sqrt{b^2} =b\\\sqrt{1225} =35\\b=35

so the longer leg is equal to 35

35=5x

divide each side by 5

5x/5=x

35/5=7

we're left with x=7

For any nonzero real number a, the __________ of a is 1/a .
SIZIF [17.4K]

A non zero real number could be written as a/1.

When this gets reversed to be 1/a, it is the multiplicative inverse.

In a sequence of ten terms, each term (starting with the third term) is equal to the sum of the two previous terms. The seventh
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a sequence of ten terms, each term (starting with the third term) is equal to the sum of the two previous terms. The seventh term is equal to 6. Therefore, we have

a_1+a_2=x\\a_3=x\\a_4=2x\\a_5=3x\\a_6=5x\\a_7=8x\\

We know that:

a_7=6\\\implies 8x=6\\x=\frac{3}{4}

We get:

a_1+a_2=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_3=x=\frac{3}{4}\\\\a_4=2x=\frac{3}{2}\\\\a_5=3x=\frac{9}{4}\\\\a_6=5x=\frac{15}{4}\\\\a_7=8x=6\\\\a_8=13x=\frac{39}{4}\\\\a_9=21x=\frac{63}{4}\\\\a_{10}=34x=\frac{102}{4}\\

Therefore, we calculate

\boxed{a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8+a_9+a_{10}=66}
