$-2(a-8)+6a=36 \\ \\ -2a + 16 + 6a = 36 \\ \\ 4a + 16 = 36 \\ \\ 4a = 36 - 16 \\ \\ 4a = 20 \\ \\ a = \frac{20}{4} \\ \\ a = 5 \\ \\$

The final result is: a = 5.

Of the 27 players trying out for the school basketball team, 8 are more than 6 feet tall and 7 have good aim. What is the probab

insens350 [35]

P(over 6 ft) = 8/27
P(good aim) = 7/27

P(over 6 ft of good aim) = 8/27 + 7/27 = 15/27 = 5/9

Rewrite this standard form quadratic equation into vertex form by completing the square. Upload your work here to show your thin

Alex787 [66]

Solution :

Given the equation :

$y = x^2 - 6x+3$

$y=1(x^2 - 6x +n)+3$

$n = \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2$

$n = \left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^2$

n = 9

$y=1(x^2 - 6x +9-9)+3$

$y=1(x^2 - 6x +9)-9+3$

$y=1(x-3)^2- 6$

Therefore the vertex form of $y = x^2 - 6x+3$ is $y=1(x-3)^2- 6$ .

Given triangle abc with vertices A(2,-1), B(5,6), C(-1,4) as shown. Find the number of square units in the area of triangle abs

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine the lengths of segments AB, BC and AC by Pythagorean Theorem:

AB

$AB = \sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+[6-(-1)]^{2}}$

$AB \approx 7.616$

BC

$BC = \sqrt{(-1-5)^{2}+(4-6)^{2}}$

$BC \approx 6.325$

AC

$AC = \sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+[4-(-1)]^{2}}$

$AC \approx 5.831$

Now we determine the area of the triangle by Heron's formula:

$A = \sqrt{s\cdot (s-AB)\cdot (s-BC)\cdot (s-AC)}$ (1)

$s = \frac{AB+BC + AC}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$A$ - Area of the triangle.

$s$ - Semiparameter.

If we know that $AB \approx 7.616$ , $BC \approx 6.325$ and $AC \approx 5.831$ , then the area of the triangle is:

$s \approx 9.886$

$A = 18$

The area of the triangle is 18 square units.
