(leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

(5)^2 + (12)^2 = (h)^2

25 + 144 = (h)^2

169 = (h)^2

sqrt{169} = sqrt{(h)^2}

-13 = h

13 = h

We reject h = -13 because length is a distance and distance cannot be negative.

So, h = 13 units is the answer.

In the example problem, 0.000000005 = 5 x 109.<br><br> What is the standard form of 10-??
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

5x10^{-9}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the example is missing the negative sign.

This is an example of scientific notation, which is used to reduce a very large number into a short expression like: 0.000000005, which is reduced in the expression 5x10^{-9}.

It's important to say that the negative sing in the exponent, indicates that all zeros that are being reduce, are placed at the right of the number. Also, to apply a correctly scientific notation, the number reduced should be between 0 and 10.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the graphed line, you take two points. I have chosen (0, 4) and (8, 0)

The formula of a slope is (y value of second point -y value of first point) divided by (x value of second point -x value of first point):

\frac{0-4}{8-0} =-\frac{1}{2}

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The slope for a perpendicular line is 2.
