The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
The hypotenuse is the side with the greatest length.
Check all options:
1. c=5, a=3, b=4:
true.
2. c=14, a=4, b=11:
false.
3. c=17, a=9, b=14:
false.
4. c=16, a=8, b=14:
false.
5. c=17, a=8, b=15:
true.
Answer: correct options are A and E.
the discriminant b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
13x^2-16x = x^2 -x
we need to get in it the standard form
subtract x^2 from each side
12x^2 -16x = -x
add x to each side
12x^2 -15x = 0
12x^2 -15x -0 =0
a=12 b=-15 c=0
b^2 -4ac
the discriminant = b^2
b^2 = (-15)2 = 225
