- Find x.
To solve these type of problems you need to use the pythagoras theorem ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude².
Here,
- Altitude = 1.6 cm.
- Base = 1.2 cm
- Hypotenuse = x
Now, let's solve for x.
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude²
x² = (1.2)² + (1.6)²
x² = 1.44 + 2.56
x² = 4
x = √4
x = <em><u>2</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
- So, the value of x is <em><u>2</u><u> </u><u>cm.</u></em>
- Pythagoras theorem can be used only in the cases of right-angled triangles. Here, it's given that the triangle is right angled so we can use this theorem.
- To solve the squares if decimals, take them as whole numbers & then just add the decimal points. For example, ⇨ for (1.2)², take it as 12² , then multiply 12 by 12, you'll get 144. Now, add the decimal place accordingly ⇨ 1.44 . So, (1.2)² = 1.44.
Complete the table for the function y = 0.1^x
The first step: plug values from the left column into the ‘x’ spot in the formula <u>y=0.1^x</u>.
* 0.1^-2 : We can eliminate the negative exponent value by using the rule a^-1 = 1/a. Keep this rule in mind for future problems. (0.1^-2 = 1/0.1 * 0.1 = 100).
* 0.1^-1 = 1/0.1 = 10
* 0.1^0 = 1 : (Remember this rule: a^0 = 1)
* 0.1^1 = 0.1
Our list of values: 100, 10, 1, 0.1
Now, we can plug these values into your table:
The points can now be graphed. I will paste a Desmos screenshot; try to see if you can find some of the indicated (x,y) values: [screenshot is attached]
I hope this helped!
