Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to determine an unknown side of a right triangle when two sides are known.

It states that a^2+b^2=c^2.

This is where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is the hypotenuse.

If you're unclear on this, you can draw a diagram to help you visualize it.

Hence, we can plug the given information into this formula.

a^2+8^2=(√73)^2

Simplify.

a^2+64=73

Subtract 64 from both sides.

a^2+64-64=73-64

a^2=9

Find the square root of both sides.

a=3

The length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 3 units.

If f(x) is differentiable for the closed interval [-4, 0] such that f(-4) = 5 and f(0) = 9, then there exists a value c, -4 <

WITCHER [35]

<span>Mean value theorem

For $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ exist $c \in (a,b)$ such that

$f'(c)=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

$f'(c)=\dfrac{f(-4)-f(0)}{-4-0}=\dfrac{5-9}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}=\boxed{1}$ </span>

Write the equation of the parallel line that passes through (0,-3)

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

y = 1.2x - 3 (slope intercept form)

5y-6x = -15 (standard form)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two parallel lines have the same slope, which means that our line's slope, will also be 1.2.

we can use the formula to find the equation of the line:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

y1 - y coordinate of a point on the line

x1 - x coordinate of the same point on the line

m - slope

and we get:

y+3 = 1.2 (x-0)

y = 1.2x - 3 (slope intercept form)

5y-6x = -15 (standard form)

the teacher separated her class of twenty-eight student into two group. one group has 4 more than twice as many students as the

mina [271]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:

x: students of group 1

y: students of group 2

We now write the system of equations that models the problem:

$x + y = 28\\y = 2x + 4$

Solving the system by substitution we have:

$x + (2x + 4) = 28\\3x + 4 = 28\\3x = 28-4$

$3x = 24$

$x = \frac{24}{3}\\x = 8$

Then, the value of y is given by:

$y = 2 (8) +4\\y = 16 + 4\\y = 20$

Answer:

8 students of group 1

20 students of group 2
