The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 m long. The longer leg is 1 m longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Answer 1
The shortest side is 3 m and the other side is 4 m. If you put all these numbers in the Pythagorean Theorem it checks out. (3^2+4^2=5^2)
Answer 2
Final answer:

The Pythagorean theorem is used to determine the lengths of a right triangle's sides. When we know the hypotenuse length and the fact that one leg is 1m longer than the other, we can solve for the lengths to be approximately 3m and 4m.

Explanation:

The subject of your question is related to the geometric concept of right triangles and the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This can be written as: a² + b² = c².

In this problem, we know the hypotenuse = 5m and the longer leg is 1m longer than the shorter leg. Let's denote the shorter leg as 'x' m. Consequently, the longer leg is 'x+1' m. Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we get: (x)² + (x+1)² = 5².

Solving this equation, we find x~3m (shorter leg) and x+1~4m (longer leg). These are the lengths of the sides of your right triangle.

1) If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (9, 4) and (5, 2), what is the standard form equation of the circle?

Answers

First thing you need to do is find the center. This would be the midpoint of the two points given. 

Midpoint = [tex]( \frac{X1+X2}{2} , \frac{Y1+Y2}{2} )[/tex]
where X1 is the x-coordinate of the first ordered pair and Y1 is the y-coordinate of the first ordered pair. Same applies to X2 and Y2. So now we plug in.

Mdpt = [tex]( \frac{9+5}{2} , \frac{4+2}{2} )[/tex]
= [tex]( \frac{14}{2} , \frac{6}{2} )[/tex]

Your midpoint is at (7, 3).

This gives you the beginning of the equation. The equation of a circle is:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = radius²
where (h, k) is the center. 

Your equation is:
(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = radius²

To find the radius, we do either the distance formula from the center to either of the endpoints. Or the distance between the two endpoints divided by two. Depends on which one you want to do. I choose the latter, but it's all personal preference.

Distance formula = √((X2 - X1)² + (Y2 - Y1)²)

So we plug in:

D = √((5 - 9)² + (2 - 4)²)
D = √((- 4)² + (- 2)²)
D = √(16 + 4)
D = √20

Distance of the diameter = 2√5

Now divide that by 2, your radius is √5

Now we plug in to the equation:

(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = (√5)²

Your final equation is:

(x - 7)² + (y - 3)² = 5

Tomas can do a job in 4 hours. julia can do the same job in 6 hours. how many hours will it take the two of them to do the job if they work together?

Answers

Formula
job/time1 + job / time2 = job / t
 
job = 1
t = the time for both working together.
t1 = 4 hours
t2 = 6 hours
d = 1 job

1/t1 + 1/t2 = 1/t

1/4 + 1/6 = 1/t
find the lowest common denominator between 6 and 4

4 = 2 * 2
6 = 2 * 3

The lowest common denominator = 2 * 2 * 3 which is 12

3*1 / 4*3 + 2*1 / 2 * 6 = 1/t
3/12 + 2 / 12 = 1/t
5/12 = 1/t    Cross multiply
5t = 12 * 1     Divide by 5
t = 12 / 5
t = 2 2/5
t = 2.4 hours.<<<<<  answer

Determine the values of x on which the function f(x)=2x^2-x-15/4x^2-12x is discontinuous and verify the type of discontinuity at each point.

A.There is a vertical asymptote at 0 and a hole at 3.
B.There are vertical asymptotes at -5/2 & 0 and a hole at 3.
C.There is a vertical asymptote at 3 and a hole at 0.
D.There are vertical asymptotes at 0 & 3.

Answers

There is a vertical asymptote at x = 0 (because the denominator becomes 0). We need to further analyze the behavior at x = 3 to see if it's a hole (cancellation) or the function is continuous there (Option A or B might be the answer).

Step 1: Identify Potential Discontinuities

A rational function (like f(x)) is discontinuous when its denominator is zero. So, we need to find the values of x that make the denominator 0:

Denominator = 4x^2 - 12x = 0

Factor the denominator: 4x(x - 3) = 0

This gives us two possible values for x: x = 0 and x = 3.

Step 2: Verify Discontinuity Type at Each Point

Check if the function is defined (has a value) at these points.

x = 0: If we plug x = 0 in the original function, we get 0/0, which is indeterminate. This suggests a potential vertical asymptote at x = 0.

x = 3: If we plug x = 3 in the original function, the expression doesn't become 0/0. The function might have a hole or be continuous at x = 3.

Step 3: Analyze for Holes (Optional):

To further investigate x = 3, we can try to simplify the function by factoring the numerator (possible because the denominator is already factored). If the simplification gets rid of the term that causes the 0/0 at x = 3, it creates a hole.

For an investment of $26,245, a quarterly statement reports that the account balance is $26,292. The statement also reports that for the same quarter, the rate of return on the investment was -0.02%. Given the information regarding the investment's current balance, does the reported rate of return seem reasonable? Use complete sentences to explain your answer.

Answers

The statement reports the investment's value has gone up. That is inconsistent with a negative rate of return, which would mean the value has gone down.

No, the reported rate of return does not seem reasonable.

Answer:

Rate of return is 0.2% positive according to given data. The given rate of return is inconsistent with the given data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of return on the statement is inconsistent with the information given.

As per given data

Investment = $26,245

Account balance = $26,292

Return on the investment

Difference = $26,292 - $26,245 = $47

Investment is increase by $47

Now calculate the percentage of rate of return.

Percentage change = ($47 / $26,245) x 100 = 0.2%

Rate of return is 0.2% positive according to given data. Hence proved that, the given rate of return is inconsistent.

What is the range of the function y = -x2 + 1?

Answers

Final answer:

The range of the function y = -x^2 + 1 is all real numbers less than or equal to 1, represented as ]-∞, 1].

Explanation:

The range of the function y = -x^2 + 1 refers to the set of all possible values that y can take as x varies over all real numbers. Since the function is a downward-opening parabola (due to the negative coefficient of x^2), the maximum value of y is at the vertex of the parabola. The vertex, in this case, occurs at x=0, which gives us the maximum y value of y = 1. As x moves away from zero in either direction, the value of y decreases and approaches negative infinity. Hence, the range of this function is ]-∞, 1], or all real numbers less than or equal to 1.

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 6x = −18?

Answers

The correct option are a. [tex]\(x = -3 + 3i\)[/tex] and b. [tex]\(x = -3 - 3i\)[/tex].The solutions are complex numbers [tex]\(x = -3 + 3i\)[/tex] and [tex]\(x = -3 - 3i\)[/tex].

To find the solution of the quadratic equation [tex]\(x^2 + 6x = -18\)[/tex], we need to solve it for [tex]x[/tex].

Starting with the given equation:

[tex]\[x^2 + 6x = -18\][/tex]

Rearranging it to the standard form of a quadratic equation:

[tex]\[x^2 + 6x + 18 = 0\][/tex]

Now, to find the solutions, we can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\[x = \frac{{-b \pm \sqrt{{b^2 - 4ac}}}}{{2a}}\][/tex]

where [tex]\(a = 1\), \(b = 6\)[/tex], and [tex]\(c = 18\).[/tex]

Substituting the values:

[tex]\[x = \frac{{-6 \pm \sqrt{{6^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 18}}}}{{2 \cdot 1}}\]\[x = \frac{{-6 \pm \sqrt{{36 - 72}}}}{2}\]\[x = \frac{{-6 \pm \sqrt{{-36}}}}{2}\]\[x = \frac{{-6 \pm 6i}}{{2}}\]\[x = -3 \pm 3i\][/tex]

So, the solutions are complex numbers [tex]\(x = -3 + 3i\)[/tex] and [tex]\(x = -3 - 3i\)[/tex].

The complete question is:

Which of the following is a solution of [tex]\(x^2 + 6x = -18\)[/tex]?

a) [tex]\(x = -3 + 3i\)[/tex]

b) [tex]\(x = -3 - 3i\)[/tex]

To answer this, let the 3 sides of the regular sized rectangular box be x, y, and z.
