Given:

The three equations for the three numbers are

a=x^2-y^2

b=2xy

c=x^2+y^2

To find:

The Pythagorean triple generated by using 4 for x and 1 for y.

Solution:

Substituting x=4 and and y=1 in the given equations, we get

a=4^2-1^2

a=16-1

a=15

In the same way find b and c.

b=2(4)(1)

b=8

The third number is

c=4^2+1^2

c=16+1

c=17

The required Pythagorean triple is 8, 15, and 17.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

What is the value of x? <br><br><br><br>​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The value of x is 104

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given 52 we know that 52 is within an isosceles triangle.

which means 2 sides are the same which tells us that the two angles touching the unique side will have the same measure

we also know that a triangle adds up to 180 so 52 + 52 gives us 104 meaning the last angle will be 180 - 104 which is 76

now we have completed the first triangle if

if we look at corner c we know that it's a right angle

we know that right angles are a total of 90 degrees we know that the right angle is split into two complementary angles one of them is 52 which we figured from the first part so

90 - 52 would give us 38 now we know that in triangle CDE one of the measures is 38 at the c corner and another is 90 at the E corner

once again we do 90 + 38 = 128 and subtract that from 180 giving us 52.

Now we know the measures of triangle ADC and CDE

We also know that triangle EDB is a congruent mirror reflection of CDE

So by now we have the measures of 3 triangles CDE ADC AND EDB

we also know that angle F/x is equvilant to the total of both of angle D

so we just add 52 + 52 giving us the measure of the whole angle d combined which we know is eqivilant to angle f

So after all that we know that the value of x is 104 degrees.

Hope this helps its a long explanation but please take ur time to understand and read through it :)

3 x a x 2 x b please tell me the answer if you know it
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6ab

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x a x 2 x b

= 3 x 2 x a x b      ( because multiplication is commutative, which basically means you can move the  numbers and variables anywhere in the expression).

= 6ab     ( we leave out the multiplication signs. They are understood.)

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

540

Step-by-step explanation:

-10 * -6 = 60

60 * 9 = 540

When you multiply two negatives, the negative sign cancels out, and the number becomes positive.
