Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ where a and b are the legs in a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse. Therefore, just substitute the values a = 10 and c = 26 into the equation to get b = 24

Hope this helps :)

ANSWER

$f( - 1) = 2$

EXPLANATION

The given function is a piecewise defined function.

$f( - 1)$
is the y-value that corresponds to
$x = - 1.$

To determine that y-value, we need to trace from
$x = - 1$
to where it meets the graph.

We then trace to the y-axis to determine the corresponding y-value as shown in the diagram.

From the graph, we can see that this x-value corresponds to a y-value of
$2$

This implies that, when
$x = - 1,y = 2$

Therefore
$f( - 1) = 2$
See graph.
