Answers:  

hypotenuse = 20 feet

longer leg = 16 feet

======================================================

Explanation:

c = x = length of the hypotenuse

a = x-4 = length of one of the legs

b = 12 = length of the other leg

Use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2

144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2

144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel

160-8x = 0

160 = 8x

8x = 160

x = 160/8

x = 20 is the hypotenuse

x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg

--------

Check:

12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400

20^2 = 400

Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.

What is the domain of the function f(x)= e^x/e^x+c if c is a constant greater than 0
Viktor [21]

Answer: Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the domain of the function we should look for the values for which the denominator is equal to zero, because the division by zero is not allowed.

We know by definition that the function e^x is always greater than zero for all <em>x</em>.

We know that the constant <em>c</em> is greater than zero (c>0).

Then, the expression e^x+c is never equal to zero.

Therefore, it does not exist a value for <em>x</em> that makes the denominator 0. Then, the domain of the function is all real numbers.

The answer is the option d.
