The length of the shorter leg is √2

<h3>Pythagoras theroem</h3>

To get the length of the shorter leg, we will use the Pythagoras theorem. According to the theorem:

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

Given the following

Hyp = √4

Opposite = √2

Required

Adjacent side

Substitute into the formula

(√4 )^2 = 2 + adj^2

4 - 2  = adj^2

adj^2 = 2

adj = √2

Hence the length of the shorter leg is √2

alexandr1967 [171]
1/2x + 16 = 36
1/2x = 36 - 16
1/2x = 20
x = 20 * 2
x = 40 <== he started with 40

 Find k if x^3+6x^2+kx+12 is divisible by (x+4)
konstantin123 [22]
If a polynomial p(x) is divisible by q(x), the roots of q(x) are roots of p(x), too.

In this question, p(x)=x³+6x²+kx+12 and q(x)=x+4. Clearly, the root of q(x) is -4. By what was written initially, -4 is a root of p(x). So:
p(-4)=0\\\\&#10;(-4)^3+6(-4)^2+k(-4)+12=0\\\\&#10;-64+6\cdot16-4k+12=0\\\\&#10;-64+96-4k+12=0\\\\&#10;4k=44\\\\&#10;k=\dfrac{44}{4}\\\\&#10;\boxed{k=11}

Which equation represents the line that is parallel to segment RS in the triangle below and passes through point T?
mestny [16]

Answer:

y  = \frac{1}{2}x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

R = (0,0)

S= (8,4)

T = (-2,3)

First, we have that the line is parallel to RS.

This means that the line has the same slope as RS and the slope of RS is calculated as follows:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{4-0}{8-0}

m = \frac{4}{8}

m = \frac{1}{2}

So, the line has a slope of m = \frac{1}{2}

Next, we have that the line passes through T = (-2,3).

The equation of the line is then calculated using the following formula

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - 3 = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-2))

y - 3 = \frac{1}{2}(x +2)

Open bracket

y - 3 = \frac{1}{2}x +1

Make y the subject

y  = \frac{1}{2}x +1+3

y  = \frac{1}{2}x +4
