Please help I've been stuck on this question for a while now. How do I solve (1/2)^4 (1/2)^-2? It has to do with Multiplying and Dividing Expressions with Exponents. Please show work so I may figure it out on my own.

Answers

Answer 1

The value of the expression is [tex]0.25[/tex]

Explanation:

The expression is [tex]$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-2}$[/tex]

Since, the base of the expression is the same. Then, by "product rule", when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents.

Thus, we have,

[tex]$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4-2}$[/tex]

Adding the exponents, we have,

[tex]$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-2}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}$[/tex]

Applying exponent rule, [tex]$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{c}=\frac{a^{c}}{b^{c}}$[/tex], we have,

[tex]$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{1^{2}}{2^{2}}$[/tex]

Simplifying, we get,

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Dividing, we have,

[tex]0.25[/tex]

Thus, the value of the expression is [tex]0.25[/tex]

In a state lottery, four digits are drawn at random one at a time with replacement from 0 to 9. Suppose that you win if any permutation of your selected inte- gers is drawn. Give the probability of winning if you select.(a) 6, 7, 8, 9. (b) 6, 7, 8, 8. (c) 7, 7, 8, 8. (d) 7, 8, 8, 8.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.0024

(b) 0.0012

(c) 0.0006

(d) 0.0004

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of possible integers when any number is selected is 10 (i.e from 0 - 9). When four number integers are selected, the total number of sample sample will be;

                                   10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000

The sample space = 10,000

To know the possible ways of selecting the given four digits, we will use permutation.

                                 [tex]^{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

To get the probability,

[tex]Probability \ of \ winning (Selected \ numbers) = \frac{number\ of\ possible\ outcomes\ of\ selected\ numbers}{sample\ space}[/tex]

(a) When 6,7,8,9 are selected, n = 4 , r = 4

The possible ways of selecting 6,7,8,9 is;

                                            [tex]= \frac{4!}{(0)!}[/tex]

but 0! = 1

                                     [tex]^{4}P_{4} = 4![/tex]

                                     = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24

                 [tex]Prob (6,7,8,9) = \frac{24}{10000} = 0.0024[/tex]

                                    [tex]= \frac{4!}{1! \ 3!}[/tex]    

                                    [tex]=\frac{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}{3 * 2 * 1}[/tex]

Answer:

option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find the slopes of the lines

D(1, -2)     E(3, 4)

y = m*x + b

m1: slope

m1 = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m1 = (4 - (-2)) / (3 - 1)

m1 = 4+2 / 3-1

m1 = 6 / 2

m1 = 3

we do the same with the other 2 points

D(-1, 2)     E(4, 0)

y = m*x + b

m2: slope

m2 = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m2 = (0 - 2) / (4 - (-1))

m2 = -2 / 4 + 1

m2 = -2 / 5

m1 = 3        m2 = -2/5

for 2 lines to be perpendicular it must be met

m1 * m2 = -1

we check if they are perpendicular

3 * -2/5 = -1

-6/5 = -1   <-- no perpendicular

Explanation:

To address the student's query about finding a function F(x,y) whose differential fits the given differential equation, we'll first transform the differential equation dy/dx =[tex](-4x4-3y)/(3x+2y4)[/tex] into the form M(x,y) dx + N(x,y) dy = 0.

This transformation requires us to regard the equation as a differential one, implying:

M(x,y) = -4x4 - 3yN(x,y) = 3x + 2y4

This representation simplifies the process of checking for exactness, which necessitates partial differentiation and comparison of ∂M/∂y and ∂N/∂x.

Should these partial derivatives be equal, the differential is exact, enabling the determination of the function F(x, y) through integration.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle WXY is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

WX represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠W as the reference angle,

WY represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

XY represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠W, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos W = 5/7 = 0.7143

W = Cos^-1(0.7143)

W = 44.1° to the nearest tenth.

Bob and Meena play a two-person game which is won by the first person to accumulate at least 10 points. On each turn, there is a $\frac{2}{5}$ probability that Bob will get two points and Meena will lose one point. If that doesn't happen, then Meena gets two points and Bob loses a point. Meena is now ahead 9 to 6. What is the probability that Meena will win?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that Meena wins is 21/25

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for Meena to win, she needs to win the next turn or the following one, otherwise, she loses. The probability for that is equal to substract from 1 the probability of the complementary event: bob wins in the next 2 turns. Since each turn is independent from the other, we can obtain the probability of Bob winning the next 2 turns by taking the square of the probability of him winning on one turn, hence it is

[tex] {\frac{2}{5}}^2 = \frac{4}{25} [/tex]

Thus, the probability for Meena to win is 1-4/25 = 21/25.

Meena only needs one more point to win, and with a ⅘ or 60% probability in her favor for the next turn, she will win the game.

The question asks for the probability that Meena will win a game where she is currently ahead 9 to 6, and the game is won by the first person to reach 10 points. In each turn, there is a chance that Bob will get 2 points and Meena will lose 1 point, and a chance that Meena will get 2 points and Bob will lose 1 point.

To find the probability of Meena winning, we only need to look at the next round because Meena is already at 9 points and she needs only 1 point to win. Two scenarios can occur:

Bob gets 2 points, and Meena loses 1 point. This outcome is not possible because Meena cannot have 8 points; she's already at 9 points. So, this situation doesn't count.

Meena gets 2 points (which will put her at or above 10 points) and Bob loses 1 point. This is the winning scenario for Meena. The probability of this happening is or 0.6 (since only this outcome will end the game with Meena as the winner).

Therefore, the probability that Meena will win on the next turn (and win the game) is 0.6 or 60%

If Rachel were to paint her living room alone it would take five hours her sister Barbara could do the job in eight hours how many hours would it take them working together express your answer as a fraction reduced to lowest terms if needed

Answers

Answer:

40/13 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1 represent the room being painted.

1/5 would represent 1/5 of a room painted in 1 hour.

1/8 would represent 1/8 of a room being painted in 1 hour

But they are are working together so

(1/5)x + (1/8)x = 1

The lowest common denominator is 5 * 8 = 40

[(1/5)x * 40 + (1/8)x * 40] = 1

8x + 5x = 40

13x = 40

x = 40/13

x = 3.077 hours

But you want a fraction as your answer so it is 3 1/13 or 40/13

You should notice that 3.077 is smaller than the lowest amount of time both of them use. That always happens with these questions.

Final answer:

Rachel and Barbara would take ⅜shy hours to paint the living room together, as they have a combined work rate of 0.325 room/hour calculated from their rates of 1 room per 5 hours and 1 room per 8 hours, respectively.

Explanation:

To find out how many hours it would take Rachel and Barbara to paint the living room together, we can use the concept of work rate. Rachel's work rate is ⅑or (1 room per 5 hours), and Barbara's work rate is ⅑or (1 room per 8 hours). To find their combined work rate, we add their rates together.

Rachel's rate: ⅑or (1 room/5 hours) = 0.2 room/hour
Barbara's rate: ⅑or (1 room/8 hours) = 0.125 room/hour
Combined rate: 0.2 + 0.125 = 0.325 room/hour

To find out how long it takes them to paint the room together, we can set up the equation: 1 room = (0.325 room/hour) × (hours). Solving for 'hours' gives us:

Hours = ⅑or / 0.325
Hours = ⅑or / (⅜shy / 1)
Hours = ⅜shy × 1
Hours = ⅜shy
Therefore, it would take them ⅜shy hours to complete the painting together.

Let's break down what happened here:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  - This indicates a vertical compression

[tex]2^{x+3}\\[/tex]   - This indicates a horizontal shift left

-5    - This indicates a vertical shift down

Final answer:

Transforming f(x) to g(x) involves a vertical compression by ½, a horizontal shift left by 3 units, and a vertical shift down by 5 units. There is also an exponential base change, but it does not correspond directly to the given transformation options.

Explanation:

To transform the function f(x) = 3x into g(x) = ½ · 2x+3 - 5, let's analyze each part of the transformation. Break down g(x) into its components to determine the transformations:

The factor of ½ indicates a vertical compression by a factor of ½.The 2x+3 part involves an exponential base change and a horizontal shift. Since the function is initially 3x and we are transforming to 2x, there is a base change involved. To express 3 as a power of 2, we would get a vertical stretch (which is not the case here due to the mismatch in bases), so this part does not directly translate to one of the given transformations. Moreover, the addition of 3 inside the exponent of 2x+3 signifies a horizontal shift left by 3 units, not right as might be mistakenly assumed.The subtraction of 5 at the end of the function indicates a vertical shift downwards by 5 units.

Based on this analysis, the correct transformations that occurred are a vertical compression, a horizontal shift left, and a vertical shift down.

Final answer:

The cost for two pounds of gummy bunnies is $2.66, with the unit rate being $1.33 per pound after rounding to two decimal places.

Explanation:

To determine how much two pounds of gummy bunnies will cost at Joan's candy emporium, we first need to calculate the unit rate of the gummy bunnies that are selling for $4.00 per three pounds. The unit rate is found by dividing the total cost by the number of pounds:

Unit Rate = Total Cost / Number of Pounds

Unit Rate = $4.00 / 3 pounds = $1.33 per pound (rounded to two decimal places)

Now that we have the unit rate, we can determine the cost for two pounds of gummy bunnies:

Cost for Two Pounds = Unit Rate x Number of Pounds

Cost for Two Pounds = $1.33 per pound x 2 pounds = $2.66 (rounded to two decimal places)

A tank contains 90 kg of salt and 1000 L of water. A solution of a concentration 0.045 kg of salt per liter enters a tank at the rate 8 L/min. The solution is mixed and drains from the tank at the same rate.a) What is the concentration of the solution in the tank initially?
b) Find the amount of salt in the tank after 4 hours.
c) Find the concentration of salt in the solution in the tank as time approaches infinity.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

concentration = amount of salt/solution

A) Initial concentration= 90/1000 = 0.09

Q = quantity of salt

Q(0) = 90 kg

Inflow rate = 8 l/min

Outflow rate = 8 l/min

Solution = 1000 L at any time t.

Salt inflow = 0.045 * 8 per minute

= 0.36 kg per minute

This is mixed and drains from the tank.

Outflow = [tex]\frac{Q(t)}{1000}[/tex]

Thus rate of change of salt

Q'(t) = inflow - outflow = [tex]0.36-\frac{Q(t)}{1000} \\=\frac{360-Q(t)}{1000}[/tex]

Separate the variables and integrate

[tex]\frac{1000dQ}{360-q(t)} =dt\\-1000 ln |360-Q(t)| = t+C\\ln |360-Q(t)| = -0.001+C'\\360-Q(t) = Ae^{-0.001t} \\Q(t) = 360-Ae^{-0.001t}[/tex]

Use the fact that Q(0) = 90

90 = 360-A

A = 270

So

[tex]Q(t) = 360-270e^{-0.001t}[/tex]

B) Q(t) = 360-270e^-0.004  = 91.07784

C) When t approaches infinity, we get

Q(t) tends to 360

So concentration =360/1000 = 0.36

Final answer:

a) The initial concentration of the solution in the tank is 0.09 kg/L. b) The amount of salt in the tank after 4 hours is 3.6 kg. c) The concentration of salt in the solution in the tank approaches 0.045 kg/L as time approaches infinity.

Explanation:

a) To find the concentration of the solution in the tank initially, we need to calculate the total mass of salt and water in the tank. The concentration is the mass of salt divided by the volume of water. Since 1 liter of water weighs 1 kg, the initial concentration of the solution in the tank is 90 kg of salt divided by 1000 kg of water, which is 0.09 kg/L.

b) To find the amount of salt in the tank after 4 hours, we need to calculate the amount of salt entering the tank and the amount of salt leaving the tank in that time. The amount of salt entering the tank is the concentration of the incoming solution (0.045 kg/L) multiplied by the rate of flow (8 L/min) and the time (4 hours = 240 minutes). This gives us 0.045 kg/L × 8 L/min × 240 min = 86.4 kg. The amount of salt leaving the tank is the concentration of the solution in the tank (0.09 kg/L) multiplied by the rate of flow (8 L/min) and the time (4 hours = 240 minutes). This gives us 0.09 kg/L × 8 L/min × 240 min = 172.8 kg. Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank after 4 hours is the initial amount of salt (90 kg) plus the amount of salt entering the tank (86.4 kg) minus the amount of salt leaving the tank (172.8 kg), which is 3.6 kg.

c) As time approaches infinity, the concentration of salt in the solution in the tank will approach the concentration of the incoming solution, which is 0.045 kg/L.

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex]-0.00005d^2+11.8d-9000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost Price for producing 'd' dog lashes = [tex]9000+3.2d[/tex]

Revenue Generated from selling 'd' dog lashes = [tex]d(15-0.00005d)[/tex]

We need to find the profit earned from producing and selling 'd' dog lashes.

Solution:

Now we know that;

profit earned from producing and selling 'd' dog lashes can be calculated by Subtracting Cost Price for producing 'd' dog lashes from Revenue Generated from selling 'd' dog lashes.

framing in equation form we get;

Profit earned = [tex]d(15-0.00005d)-(9000+3.2d)[/tex]

Now Applying Distributive property we get;

Profit earned = [tex]15d-0.00005d^2-9000-3.2d[/tex]

Now Combining like terms we get;

Profit earned = [tex]-0.00005d^2+15d-3.2d-9000[/tex]

Profit earned = [tex]-0.00005d^2+11.8d-9000[/tex]

Hence  Profit earned from producing and selling 'd' dog lashes is [tex]-0.00005d^2+11.8d-9000[/tex].

Final answer:

The polynomial representing the profit from producing and selling d dog leashes is -0.00005d² + 11.8d - 9000, calculated by subtracting the cost (9000 + 3.2d) from the revenue (d(15 - 0.00005d)).

Explanation:

The student's question relates to finding the polynomial expression that represents the profit earned from producing and selling d dog leashes. Profit is calculated by subtracting the cost from the revenue. The cost polynomial is given as 9000 + 3.2d, and the revenue polynomial is d(15 - 0.00005d).

To find the profit, we subtract the cost from the revenue:

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Profit = (d(15 - 0.00005d)) - (9000 + 3.2d)

Profit = 15d - 0.00005d² - 9000 - 3.2d

Profit = -0.00005d² + (15 - 3.2)d - 9000

Profit = -0.00005d² + 11.8d - 9000

Therefore, the correct polynomial that represents the profit is -0.00005d² + 11.8d - 9000.

To convert 86 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula T°C = 5/9 (86 - 32). Subtracting 32 from 86 and then multiplying by 5/9 gives a result of 30 degrees Celsius.

Explanation:

The question asks how to find the Celsius equivalent of 86 degrees Fahrenheit using the formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. The formula is T°C = 5/9 (T°F - 32), where T°C is the temperature in degrees Celsius and T°F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

To convert 86°F to Celsius, substitute 86 for T°F in the formula:

T°C = 5/9 (86 - 32)

First, subtract 32 from 86, which gives 54. Then, multiply 54 by 5/9 to get the final result:

T°C = 5/9 × 54

T°C = 30

Therefore, 86 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to 30 degrees Celsius.

A tourist in France wants to visit 8 different cities. If the route is randomly selected, what is the probability that she will visit the cities in alphabetical order?

Answers

Answer:

Probability p( selecting 8 cities alphabetically) = 2.48×10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways of choosing 8 cities=Permutation P(n,k) = n!/(n-k)!

P(8,8)= 8!/(8-8)! = 8! = 40,320

Probability (selecting 8 cities alphabetically) = 1/40320 = 2.48×10^-5

Answer:

The answer is 0.00002480

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question stated let us recall the following statement.

The number of cities the tourist wants to visit is =8

Now,

If the route is selected randomly, what is the probability that the cities she visits are in alphabetical order.

Therefore,

The probability that she visits the cities in alphabetical order = 1/8!

There are 8! = 40320 ways in which these cities can be visited

P(Visiting in alphabetical order) = 1/40320 = 0.00002480

When an object is droppednbsp on a certain earth dash like planet comma on a certain earth-like planet, the distance it falls in t​ seconds, assuming that air resistance is​ negligible, is given by ​s(t)equals=1818t2 where​ s(t) is in feet. Suppose that a​ medic's reflex hammer is dropped from a hovering helicopter. Find​(a) how far the hammer falls in 44 ​sec, ​(b) how fast the hammer is traveling 44 sec after being​ dropped, and ​(c) the​ hammer's acceleration after it has been falling for 44 sec.

Answers

Final answer:

To solve for the distance, velocity, and acceleration of a hammer dropped from a hovering helicopter, calculations based on the given formula s(t) = 1818t^2 are used, yielding a fall of 29128 feet in 4 seconds, a velocity of 14512 feet/sec at 4 seconds, and a constant acceleration of 3636 feet/sec^2.

Explanation:

When an object is dropped on a certain earth-like planet, the distance it falls in t seconds, assuming that air resistance is negligible, is given by s(t) = 1818t2, where s(t) is in feet. To solve the problem involving a medic's reflex hammer dropped from a hovering helicopter:

(a) To find how far the hammer falls in 4 seconds, substitute t = 4 into the equation: s(4) = 1818(4)2 = 29128 feet.

(b) The velocity of the hammer after 4 seconds can be found using the derivative of s(t), v(t) = 2×1818×t. Substituting t = 4, v(4) = 2×1818×4 = 14512 feet/sec.

(c) The acceleration of the hammer is constant and equal to 2×1818 feet/sec2 = 3636 feet/sec2, which is twice the coefficient in the equation for s(t).

These calculations demonstrate the principles of kinematics, specifically how position, velocity, and acceleration relate to one another for an object in free fall on an earth-like planet with negligible air resistance.

You have just opened a new dance club, Swing Haven, but are unsure of how high to set the cover charge (entrance fee). One week you charged $7 per guest and averaged 79 guests per night.

Enter the lower fee first, and round your answer to two decimal places.When the entrance fee is p = or dollars per guest, then Swing Haven breaks even.

Answers

Answer:

a) The demand function is

[tex]q(p) = -4 p + 107[/tex]

b) The nightly revenue is

[tex] R(p) = -4 p^2 + 107 p [/tex]

c) The profit function is

[tex]P(p) = -4 p^2 + 133.75 p - 939 [/tex]

d) The entrance fees that allow Swing Haven to break even are between 10.03 and 23.41 dollars per guest.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Lets find the slope s of the demand:

[tex] s = \frac{79-43}{7-16} = \frac{36}{-9} = -4 [/tex]

Since the demand takes the value 79 in 7, then

[tex]q(p) = -4 (p-7) + 79 = -4 p + 107[/tex]

b) The nightly revenue can be found by multiplying q by p

[tex]R(p) = p*q(p) = p*( -4 p + 107) = -4 p^2 + 107 p[/tex]

c) The profit function is obtained from substracting the const function C(p) from the revenue function R(p)

[tex]P(p) = R(p) - C(p) = p*q(p) = -4 p^2 + 107 p - (-26.75p + 939) = \\\\-4 p^2 + 133.75 p - 939[/tex]

d) Lets find out the zeros and positive interval of P. Since P is a quadratic function with negative main coefficient, then it should have a maximum at the vertex, and between the roots (if any), the function should be positive. Therefore, we just need to find the zeros of P

[tex]r_1, r_2 = \frac{-133.75 \,^+_-\, \sqrt{133.75^2-4*(-4)*(-939)} }{-8} = \frac{-133.75 \,^+_-\, 53.526}{-8} \\r_1 = 10.03\\r_2 = 23.41[/tex]

Therefore, the entrance fees that allow Swing Haven to break even are between 10.03 and 23.41 dollars per guest.

Final answer:

We found the linear demand equation as q(p) = -4p + 107. The nightly revenue R(p) is R(p) = -4p^2 + 107p, and the profit P(p) is P(p) = -4p^2 + 133.75p - 939. Setting the profit equal to zero, we found the club breaks even at entrance fees $5.32 and $44.31.

Explanation:

In this question, we're asked to formulate linear demand, revenue, and profit equations, and find the entrance fees for break even. First, let's find the linear demand equation.

To obtain this demand equation, we can use the two given points ($7, 79) and ($16, 43) and find the slope (rate of change) equals (43-79) / (16-7) = -4. Hence the demand equation will be q(p) = -4p + b. To find b, substitute one of the points into the equation, for example ($7, 79), we get b=107, hence q(p) = -4p + 107.

Next, let's find the nightly revenue R (p), which is simply the product of the entrance fee and the number of guests, hence R(p) = p * q(p) = p (-4p + 107) = -4p^2 + 107p.

 The profit P(p) is the difference between revenue and costs, hence P(p) = R(p) - C(p) = -4p^2 + 107p - (-26.75p + 939) = -4p^2 + 133.75p - 939.

Finally, for Swing Haven to break even, the profit must be zero. By setting P(p) = 0 and solving the equation -4p^2 + 133.75p - 939 = 0, we get the two solutions p = 5.3216 and p = 44.3031, or roughly $5.32 and $44.31.

To estimate the height of a building, a stone is dropped from the top of the building into a pool of water at ground level. The splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped. What is the height of the building? Use the position function s(t) = 4.9t² + v_0 t + s_0 for free falling objects.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the building is 153.664 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

[tex]s(t) = 4.9t^2 + v_0 t + s_0[/tex]

Here t represents the time v₀ represents the initial velocity, s₀ represents the initial height and s(t) represents the height after t seconds.

It is given that the splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped.

That means after 5.6 seconds height s(t) = 0, Also the initial velocity of the stone is 0.

Substitute respective values in the above function.

[tex]0 = 4.9(5.6)^2 +5.6(0)+ s_0[/tex]

[tex]0 = 4.9(31.36)+ s_0[/tex]

[tex]s_0=-153.664[/tex]

As height can't be a negative number so the value of s₀ is 153.664.

Hence, the height of the building is 153.664 meter.

Triangle DEF has sides with lengths of 6, 11, and 13 units. Determine whether this triangle is a right triangle. Show all work necessary to justify your answer. A right triangle has a hypotenuse with a length of 25. The lengths of the legs are whole numbers. What could be possible lengths of the legs?

Answers

Answer:

Triangle DEF is not a right triangle ; possible lengths are 20 & 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For right triangle;

the sum of the square of the two adjacent sides must equal the square of the hypotenus.

Therefore, (6^2)+(11^2)≠(13^2).

the possible length are 20 & 15 because

(20^2)+(15^2)=(25^2)

Triangle DEF with sides lengths of 6, 11, and 13 units is not a right triangle as the Pythagorean theorem is not satisfied. To find the lengths of the legs of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 25, one can use the Pythagorean theorem to find whole number pairs that satisfy the equation.

To determine whether triangle DEF is a right triangle with sides of lengths 6, 11, and 13 units, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. This theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): a² + b² = c².

Let's check if the sides of triangle DEF satisfy this condition:

a = 6, b = 11, and c = 13a² + b² = 6² + 11² = 36 + 121 = 157c² = 13² = 169

Since 157 does not equal 169, triangle DEF is not a right triangle.

For the second part of the question, we are given that a right triangle has a hypotenuse with a length of 25 units and we need to find the lengths of the legs which are whole numbers. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find pairs of integers (a and b) that satisfy the equation a² + b² = 25² = 625. Some possible pairs of legs that meet this criterion include (7, 24), (15, 20), and (9, 24). Note that there are multiple correct answers to this question.
