Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x × (x + 9) = x² + 9x = 286
x² + 9x - 286 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 22)
x = 13 or -22
Since you cannot have negative length, it’s 13

Factor.<br> 28 - 4u<br> I don’t know how to factor 28-4u so if anyone can help thank you

Sedaia [141]

Answer: 4(7-u)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to factor, you have to find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)

28:1, 28, 2, 14, 4, 7

4:1, 4, 2

The greatest common factor here is 4.

You can factor out 4 from this equation, therefore making it 4(7-u)

The sum of a number and its square is 182. Find the number.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

13 and -14 satisfy this condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent that number as x

and the square of x is x^2

So,

x + x^2 = 182

Subtract 182 from both sides

x + x^2 - 182 = 182 - 182

x + x^2 - 182 = 0

rearrange the quadratic equation

x^2 + x -182 = 0

let's use the quadratic formula

$\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

a = 1, b = 1, c = -182

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{1^2-4*1*(-182)} }{2*1}$ or $\frac{-1-\sqrt{1^2-4*1*(-182)} }{2*1}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{1+728} }{2}$ or $\frac{-1-\sqrt{1+728} }{2}$

$\frac{-1+\sqrt{729} }{2}$ or $\frac{-1-\sqrt{729} }{2}$

$\frac{-1+{27} }{2}$ or $\frac{-1-{27} }{2}$

$\frac{26}{2}$ or $\frac{-28}{2}$

13 or - 14

Lets check

13 + 13^2 = 13 + 169

= 182

Also,

-14 + (-14^2) = -14 + 196

= 182

The base of the 37 foot ladder is 9 feet from the wall of a building. will the top of the ladder reach a window ledge 35 feet ab

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The math in this problem is that we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve it. Pythagorean theorem is part of trigonometry a branch of Maths.

Data

base = 9 ft

length = 37 ft

height = ?

Pythagorean theorem

c² = a² + b²

length = c

base = a

height = b

37² = 9² + b²

-Solve for b

b² = 37² - 9²

-Simplify

b² = 1369 - 81

b² = 1288

-Result

b = 35.88

-Conclusion

The ladder will reach a height higher than 35 ft.
