The triangle is a right triangle so use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

15² + b² = 17²
225 + b² = 289
b² = 64
b = √64
b = 8

Hope this helps :)

Using the functions f(x) = (3 - x)/(x2 + 4) and g(x) = 3x, find the value of (f*g)(2).

wariber [46]

Answer:

(f×g)(2) = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

For each of the functions, put 2 where x is and evaluate the expression.

f(2) = (3 -2)/(2² +4) = 1/8

g(2) = 3×2 = 6

Then the product is ...

(f×g)(2) = f(2)×g(2) = (1/8)×6 = 6/8

(f×g)(2) = 3/4

Pleasantburg has a population growth model of P(t)=at2+bt+P0 where P0 is the initial population. Suppose that the future populat

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population in t years after 2012 is given by:

$P(t) = 0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000$

In what month and year will the population reach 34,200?

We have to find t for which P(t) = 34200. So

$P(t) = 0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000$

$0.8t^{2} + 6t + 19000 = 34200$

$0.8t^{2} + 6t - 15200 = 0$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$0.8t^{2} + 6t - 15200 = 0$

So $a = 0.8, b = 6, c = -15200$

Then

$\bigtriangleup = 6^{2} - 4*0.8*(-15100) = 48356$

$t_{1} = \frac{-6 + \sqrt{48356}}{2*0.8} = 134.14$

$t_{2} = \frac{-6 - \sqrt{48356}}{2*0.8} = -141.64$

We only take the positive value.

134 years after 2012.

.14 of an year is 0.14*365 = 51.1. The 51st day of a year happens in February.

So the population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
