Answer:

a =b = $\frac{5\sqrt{5} }{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{2} +b^{2} = 5 ^{2}$

a = b

$2a^{2} = 5 ^{2}$

$2a^{2} = 25\\$

$a^{2} = \frac{25}{5}$

a = $\frac{5}{\sqrt{5} }$

must rationalize...

a =b = $\frac{5\sqrt{5} }{5}$

The piecewise function h(x) is shown on the graph.

Artemon [7]

Step-by-step explanation/Answer:

The value for h(3) is 1.

Coordinate (3,1)

The value on h(3) is located in the last part of the piecewise function, which starts at (1,3) until (4,0). To know the exact image of h(3), we can find the function that belongs to that piece of line, and then calculated the asked value.

So, to calculate the equation, we first have to find the slope with its definition, and then we'll use the point-slope formula to find the equation:

Therefore, the coordinates is (3,1), that is, the value for h(3) is 1.

Madison works as a salesperson at an electronics store and sells phones and phone accessories, and makes a fixed commission for

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Price of each phone: $\$9$

Price of each accessory: $\$3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "p" the price in dollars of each phone and "a" the price in dollars of each accessory.

Set up a system of equations:

$\left \{ {{8p+10a=107} \atop {4p+23a=116.50}} \right.$

You can use the Elimination Method to solve the system.

Multiply the second equation by -2 and add both equations:

$\left \{ {{8p+10a=107} \atop {-8p-46a=-233}} \right.\\............................\\-36a=-126\\\\a=\frac{-126}{-36}\\\\a=3.5$

Substitute the value of "a" into the first equation and solve for "p":

$8p+10(3.5)=107\\\\8p=107-35\\\\p=\frac{72}{8}\\\\p=9$
