See diagram

so we got a right triangle

so for a right triangle, when we've got legs a and b and hytponuse c then
a²+b²=c²

so the legs are 90 and 90
hytponuse is distance from home to 2nd

so
90²+90²=c²
8100+8100²=c²
16200=c²
sqrt both sides
90√2=c
aprox
127.279ft
about 127ft

Assuming that the bases are all within right angles of each other:
Form a triangle with vertices at home base, first, and second. Home to first is 90ft and first to second is also 90ft.
Use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2 to find the the missing length.
90^2+90^2=c^2
8100+8100=c^2
16200=c^2
Sqrt(16200)=c
c=127.279

What elements are required for a legally valid contract?

ella [17]

Answer:The 5 elements of a legally binding contract are made up of:

An offer.

Acceptance,

Consideration.

Mutuality of obligation.

Competency and capacity.

Sometimes additional components are involved to protect the interests of all the parties.

A contract involves two or more parties who are competent to enter into a legally binding agreement. While a contract can be verbal or implied, it is usually in writing. If a contract is enforceable, a court can compel the parties to follow through on what they agreed to in the contract.

A legally enforceable contract is more than a casual promise between friends. The purpose of a business contract is to place legal requirements on the parties to follow through on the agreement. The legal system is available to mediate if a party breaches the terms of the contract.

Parenthesis are something you can use in math problems that mean anything inside of them is what you have to solve first. In PEMDAS P is parenthesis which means that is first.

F(x) = x2 – 3x – 2 is shifted 4 units left. The result is g(x). What is g(x)?

Ray Of Light [21]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{{ A}}({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}\sqrt{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}}(\mathbb{R})^{{{ B}}x+{{ C}}}+{{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{{ A}} sin\left({{ B }}x+{{ C}} \right)+{{ D}}
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {{ A}}\cdot {{ B}}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ flips it upside-down if }{{ A}}\textit{ is negative}
\\\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

now... your expression is not in vertex form, that's ok... to do a horizontal shift to the left by 4 units, we can simply, add the C and B component to the "x" variable, C=4, B =1, that way the horizontal shift of C/B or 4/1 is just +4, giving us a horizontal shift to the left

$\bf f(x)=x^2-3x-2\impliedby \textit{let's change that for }f(1x+4)
\\\\\\
f(1x+4)=(1x+4)^2-3(1x+4)-2
\\\\\\
f(x+4)=x^2+8x+16-3x-12-2
\\\\\\
f(x+4)=x^2-5x+2\impliedby g(x)$
