2. Write a function that models the relationships among x, y, and r. (Hint: Use the Pythagorean theorem.) Then solve the equation for rin terms of x and y. (3 points: 1 point for the correct Pythagorean setup, 1 point for work, 1 point for the solution

Respuesta :

The function that models the relationships among x, y, and r is [tex]r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]

What is a function?

  • "It defines a relation between input and output values."
  • "In function, for each input values there is exactly one output."

What is right triangle?

"It is a triangle having one of the angle measures 90° "

What is hypotenuse?

"It is the longest side of the right triangle."

What is Pythagoras theorem?

"For a right triangle,

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex], where c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle and a, b are other two sides of right triangle."

For given question,

We need to write a function that models the relationships among x, y, and r.

Consider a right triangle ABC.

where AB = x, BC = y and hypotenuse AC = r

Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]x^{2} + y^{2} =r^{2}[/tex]

above function defines the relationships among x, y, and r.

Now we solve above equation for 'r',

[tex]\Rightarrow r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]

Therefore, the function that models the relationships among x, y, and r is [tex]r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]
