Answer:

C) 4.0 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  It states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse; algebraically,

a²+b² = c²

The height splits the base in two, giving us a leg of 3.  The hypotenuse is 5.  This gives us:

3²+b² = 5²

9+b² = 25

Subtract 9 from each side:

9+b²-9 = 25-9

b² = 16

Take the square root of each side:

√b² = √16 = 4

What function is shown in the graph above?
Verizon [17]

By definition of <em>linear</em> functions and the comparison with the attached figure, the function that represents the graph is y = (7/15) · x + 4, - 6 ≤ x ≤ 9.

<h3>What kind of function represents the graph?</h3>

Graphically speaking, <em>linear</em> functions represent lines and we see that the line seen in the figure presents two bounds, the points (- 6, 0) and (9, 7). <em>Linear</em> functions are characterized by slope and intercept:

y = m · x + b     (1)

Slope

m = (7 - 0)/[9 - (- 6)]

m = 7/15

Intercept

b = 4

By definition of <em>linear</em> functions and the comparison with the attached figure, the function that represents the graph is y = (7/15) · x + 4, - 6 ≤ x ≤ 9.

Each week, Alfonso earns $85 for every shift he works at the theater and $15 for every dog-walking job. He uses the expression 8
sesenic [268]
So you didn't put an actual question. To find the money he makes you just plug in the numbers.
If he works 4 shifts at the theater you replace x with 4. Then, you find 85 x 4. You do the same thing with 15y.
