Answer:

B. 24 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

25 would be the hypotenuse of a triangle and 7 is a leg, so

7^2 + x^2 = 25^2

49 + x^2 = 625

x^2 = 576

x = 24 ft

SOLVE 6-9. State of each triangle is a right triangle

11111nata11111 [884]

To find out if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem(which can only be used for right triangles):

a² + b² = c² (c is the hypotenuse or the longest side) And you can plug in the side lengths into this equation. If they are the same number on both sides, it is a right triangle, if they are different numbers it is not a right triangle.

6.) a² + b² = c²

(4√3)² + (11)² = (13)²

(16(3)) + 121 = 169

48 + 121 = 169

169 = 169 It IS a right triangle

7.) a² + b² = c²

(5)² + (2√14)² = (9)²

25 + (4(14)) = 81

25 + 56 = 81

81 = 81 It IS a right triangle

8.) a² + b² = c²

(6)² + (√49)² = (√82)²

36 + 49 = 82

85 = 82 It is NOT a right triangle

9.) a² + b² = c²

(13)² + (2√39)² = (16)²

169 + (4(39)) = 256

169 + 156 = 256

325 = 256 It is NOT a right triangle

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through (3,-30) and has x-intercepts of -2 and 18. Then find the average rate of cha

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ . The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that $(3, -30)$ , $(-2, 0)$ and $(18, 0)$ are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

$9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30$

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0$

$324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0$

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

$a = \frac{2}{5}$ , $b = -\frac{32}{5}$ , $c = -\frac{72}{5}$ .
