Answer:
x ≈ 14.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the triangle is right then use Pythagoras' identity.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 15² = 21²
x² + 225 = 441 ( subtract 225 from both sides )
x² = 216 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ≈ 14.7 ( to the nearest tenth )

Answer:
A: The x-intercept of k(x) is half the x-intercept of h(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer choices B, C, and D are concerned with slopes and y-intercepts. The coefficients of x in the functions are different and are related by a factor of -2, so the lines are not parallel, and one slope is not twice the other. The y-intercepts (constants) in each function are different, so they graphs do not cross the y-axis at the same place.
Hence answer choices B, C, and D can be eliminated.
The x-intercepts are found by setting y=0 and solving for x:
h(x) = 0 = -2x +4 ⇒ x = 4/2 = 2
k(x) = 0 = 4x -4 ⇒ x = 4/4 = 1
The x-intercept of k(x) is half that of h(x). . . . . . . matches choice A
