Question

If a and b are two sides of a right triangle, find the length of the hypotenuse, c.

a=6, b=2, c=?

Answer 1

a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 2

well using the pythagorean theorm; a^2 + b^2 = c^2 so pluggin it in
6^2 + 2^2 = 40
sqrt c^2 = 2 sqrt 10

do you get it? ^.^

Answer 3

ohhhh! i get it now! :) thanks! you're the person that's helped me more than anyone and not just gaven me the answer, you helped me understand the answer! thank you so so much :) @SovaySable

Answer 4

You're very welcome! ^.^

Answer 5

@SovaySable can you help me with some more please? :)))

Answer 6

lol sure!

Answer 7

okay! simplify:

Answer 8

okay square roots are basically getting rid of repeats in any given equation; so let's take the first one: sqrt 9x^3
we know tht 9 is a repeat of 3 so square root that
x^3 has a repeat in it as well because x^2 times x equals x^3 therefore we break down the x^3 and square root the x squared outta there leaving just x under the sqrt
doing this for the rest of the variables we get:
3xsqrtx + 10xsqrtx - 6xsqrtx
and since they are all like variables we just do the simple math across ^.^
and wala! your answer will be 7x sqrt x

^.^

I never thought math could be fun >.>

but do you get it?? any questions?

Answer 9

yay i get it! :)))) i'm having sort of trouble with some other ones too. but thanks for explaining it to me!

Answer 10

do you get this one? it's another simplifying problem

Answer 11

@SovaySable

Answer 12

NO ACTUALLY it's not simplifying! solve for x!

Answer 13

hmm...did you do imaginary numbers? cuz I think this equation has an imaginary number in it

Answer 14

@SovaySable can you simplify this please?

Answer 15

sure its x^3 sqrt x

=)

Answer 16

@SovaySable i need your help if you can help me! :(

Answer 17

haha sure; one more though okay cuz i have to sleep.

Answer 18

divide & simplify!

Answer 19

and: The distance between the points (1,8) and (4,4) is equal to 5.

True
False

Answer 20

okay for the first one which is a radical we can see that both the denominator and numerator is square rooted so thus we combine both under one. so now we have:
sqrt 2x^3/x^5
now do basic algebric division and you get x^-2 or 2/x^2 which is the simplest form
it'd make more sense if you write it out =)
any questions??

Answer 21

and for the last question; true; 5 is the distance between points!

Hope this helps!

=)
