B 15 C А. Find the length of "a"using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sav [38]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>a</em> = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length <em>a</em>.

<u>Step 2: Define</u>

hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 15

leg <em>b</em> = 9

leg <em>a</em> = ?

<u>Step 3: Find missing length </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables:                    a² + 9² = 15²
  2. Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                  a² = 15² - 9²
  3. Exponents:                                       a² = 225 - 81
  4. Subtract:                                           a² = 144
  5. Isolate <em>a</em>:                                           a = ±12

Since we are not dealing with a quadrant triangle, we can disregard the negative root of the quadratic.

∴ <em>a</em> = 12 is our final answer.

1. The graph of every exponential function f(x)= ax, a&gt;0, a≠1, passes through what three points(in terms of a)? Explain.
Anvisha [2.4K]
The exponential function
f(x) = a^x
can pass through all points as long as x is any real number

As an example, we can choose values of x.
x = -4, x = 0, x=100

The value of the function in terms of a would be
f(-4) = a^-4
f(0) = a^0 = 1
f(100) = a^100

What are the zeros of the polynomial function: f(x) = x3 – 5x2 -6x
shepuryov [24]

The zeros of the polynomial function: f(x) = x^3 – 5x^2 -6x is -1, 0, 6.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, polynomial equation is x^{3}-5 x^{2}-6 x

We have to find the zeroes of the given polynomial.

So, let us equate it with 0.

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, } x^{3}-5 x^{2}-6 x=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x\left(x^{2}-5 x-6\right)=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x\left(x^{2}-(6-1) x-6\right)=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x\left(x^{2}-6 x+x-6\right)=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x(x(x-6)+1(x-6))=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x(x-6)(x+1)=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x=0 \text { or } x-6=0 \text { or } x+1=0} \\\\ {\rightarrow x=0 \text { or } 6 \text { or }-1}\end{array}

Hence, the roots of the given polynomial are -1, 0, 6.

What is 3 2/9×7/3 and plz be really specific for the product
prohojiy [21]
First we need to convert the mixed umber to an improper fraction...

3 2/9

Multiply the denominator by the whole number the. add the numerator the. put that over the original denominator.

9×3 = 27 + 2 = 29/9

now we can multiply the two fractions... numerator × numerator and denominator × denominator.

29/9 × 7/3 = 203/27

reduce the fraction to 7 14/27
