Applying Pythagorean theorem

\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2=13^2-12^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2=169-144

\\ \sf\longmapsto a^2=25

\\ \sf\longmapsto a=\sqrt{25}

\\ \sf\longmapsto a=5cm

Answer:

5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side we use the hypotenuse theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The longest side of the triangle would be c. So substitute the numbers into the variables.

a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2

a^2 = 13^2 - 12^2

a^2 = 169 - 144

a^2= 25

a = √25

a=5

The missing leg's length is 5cm

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, how many roots exist for the polynomial function? f(x) = 8x7 – x5 + x3+6
valentina_108 [34]
According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the number of roots of a polynomial is equal to the degree of the polynomial. The degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent of a term in the polynomial.
Looking at the function, the term with the highest exponent is 8x7. The exponent is 7; therefore, the function has 7 roots.
