Answer: 2xy

Step-by-step explanation: We know that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 must be the longest side of the triangle (it cannot be 2xy, I will demonstrate why afterwards). By the Pythagorean theorem,

. Therefore this is a right triangle.

The only "assumption" we had to make was that x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E+2xy, but this is easy to prove. By the AM-GM inequality, %28x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2%29%2F2+%3E=+sqrt%28x%5E2y%5E2%29+=+xy. Multiplying both sides by 2, x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%3E=+2xy. Equality occurs only when x+=+y, but this cannot be true, so x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2 is strictly greater than 2xy.

Which of the following is graphed below?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin with process of elimination: As seen on the graph, there is a discontinuity at x=3. this means that x>=3. so  we can eliminate B and C

Now you can see that at x = 3, two things happen. When moving to the left, x<3. when moving tot he right x>=3 so because of this you can eliminate D. The answer is A
