a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let c = hypotenuse = 2x

One of the legs = x. Let a or b = x.

I will let a = x. We can then say that b = 3.

3^2 + x^2 = (2x)^2

9 + x^2 = 4x^2

9 = 4x^2 - x^2

9 = 2x^2

9/2 = x^2

sqrt{9/2} = sqrt{x^2}

3/sqrt{2} = x

Rational denominator.

[3•sqrt{2}]/2 = x = a

Side 3 is given to be 3 feet. So, b = 3.

Hypotenuse = 2x

Hypotenuse = 2([3•sqrt{2}]/2)

Hypotenuse = 3•sqrt{2}

Understand?

The three sides are 3, [3•sqrt{2}]/2 and

3•sqrt{2}.

Find the focus for y=x^2+4x-7
padilas [110]

ANSWER

(2,-10.75)

EXPLANATION

The given function is

y =  {x}^{2}  - 4x - 7

We rewrite this function to obtain,

(y + 11) =  {( x- 2)}^{2}

We now compare this function to

(y  -  k) = 4p {( x- h)}^{2}

We have

4p = 1

This implies that,

p =  \frac{1}{4}

The vertex is (2,-11).

The focus is

(2,-11+ \frac{1}{4} )

(2,- \frac{43}{4} )

(2,-10.75)

Cole said All prime numbers are odd and all composite numbers are even do you agree with cole?
Anit [1.1K]
A prime number is such that it is divisible by only itself and one. ... Two is a prime because it is divisible by only two and one. All the other even numbers are not prime because they are all divisible by two. That leaves only the odd numbers.
