What is the area, in square millimeters, of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 68 millimeters and a leg of 60 millimeters?
Paladinen [302]
First, we have to solve the sides of the right triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c² where c is the length of the hypotenuse. Then, we can use the legs as length and height of the triangle and find the area by 1/2(base x height).

x² + 60² = 68²
x² + 3600 = 4624
x² = 1024
x = √1024
x = 32 = length of the other side

A = (1/2)(32) (60) = 960 mm²

Determine if the expression 9x^-2 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial, state
Andrej [43]

Answer:

9x⁻²  is not a polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial function is a function that involves non-negative integer powers of x such as a quadratic, cubic etc.

A polynomial is a function written in the form of ;

f{x} =aₙxⁿ+aₙ₋₁xⁿ⁻¹+-------+a₂x²+a₁x+a₀

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of x in the expression

9x⁻² ----in this case, the power is negative thus this is not a polynomial.
