A^2+b^2=c^2
32^2+b^2=125^2
1024+b^2=15625
-1024 -1024
b^2=14601
√b^2=√14601
b=120.834598
Therefore the length if the leg is about 120.8 units long

Answer:

120.83\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle applying the Pythagoras theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

where

c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle ( the greater side)

a,b are the legs of the right triangle

In this problem we have

c=125\ units

a=32\ units

substitute and solve for b

125^{2}=32^{2}+b^{2}

b^{2}=125^{2}-32^{2}

b^{2}=14,601

b=120.83\ units

Which description compares the vertical asymptote(s) of Function A and Function B correctly?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Function A:  f(x)=\frac{1}{x}+4.  Vertical asymptotes are in the form x=, and they are a vertical line that the function approaches but never hits.  They can be easily found by looking for values of <em>x</em> that can not be graphed.  In this case, <em>x</em> cannot equal 0, as we cannot divide by 0.  Therefore <em>x</em>=0 is a vertical asymptote for this function.  The horizontal asymptote is in the form <em>y</em>=, and is a horizontal line that the function approaches but never hits.  It can be found by finding the limit of the function.  In this case, as <em>x</em> increases, 1/<em>x</em> gets closer and closer to 0.  As that part of the function gets closer to 0, the overall function gets closer to 0+4 or 4.  Thus y=4 would be the horizontal asymptote for function A.
Function B:  From the graph we can see that the function approaches the line x=2 but never hits.  This is the vertical asymptote.  We can also see from the graph that the function approaches the line x=1 but never hits.  This is the horizontal asymptote.

A city’s population, P, is modeled by the function P(x) = 78,500( 1.02 )x where x represents the number of years after the year
serg [7]
I presume this is meant to be exponential.

When f(x) = a(b)^x, a represents the starting value, b represents change, and x represents time.

The population began in 2000 (x = 0). This makes the equation equal to 78,500, which is your starting value and population in 2000.

1.02 means that the initial value is multiplied by 1.02 or 102% each year. Therefore, there is a 2% increase.
