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

(a+4)² - 3²<br> Factored out

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$a = - 7$

$a = - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+4) {}^{2} - 3 {}^{2} \\ a {}^{2} + 8a + 16 - 9 \\ a {}^{2} + 8a + 7 \\ a {}^{2} + a + 7a + 7 \\ a(a + 1) + 7(a + 1) \\ (a + 7)(a + 1) \\ a + 7 = 0 \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: \: a + 1 = 0 \\ a = - 7 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: or \: \: \: a = - 1$

This is Matrix for pre calc

gavmur [86]

The given system of equations in augmented matrix form is

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\-6&1&2&4&-12\\1&-3&-3&5&-20\\-2&5&6&0&12\end{array}\right]$

If you need to solve this, first get the matrix in RREF:

Add 2(row 1) to row 2, row 1 to -3(row 3), and 2(row 1) to 3(row 4):

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&11&5&-13&37\\0&19&10&4&-10\end{array}\right]$

Add 11(row 2) to -5(row 3), and 19(row 1) to -5(row 4):

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&0&-91&153&-823\\0&0&-164&132&-1052\end{array}\right]$

Add 164(row 3) to -91(row 4):

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&0&-91&153&-823\\0&0&0&13080&-39240\end{array}\right]$

Multiply row 4 by 1/13080:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&0&-91&153&-823\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Add -153(row 4) to row 3:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&0&-91&0&-364\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Multiply row 3 by -1/91:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&-6&8&-58\\0&0&1&0&4\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Add 6(row 3) and -8(row 4) to row 2:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&5&0&0&-10\\0&0&1&0&4\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Multiply row 2 by 1/5:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&2&-4&2&-23\\0&1&0&0&-2\\0&0&1&0&4\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Add -2(row 2), 4(row 3), and -2(row 4) to row 1:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}3&0&0&0&3\\0&1&0&0&-2\\0&0&1&0&4\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

Multiply row 1 by 1/3:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c}1&0&0&0&1\\0&1&0&0&-2\\0&0&1&0&4\\0&0&0&1&-3\end{array}\right]$

So the solution to this system is $(w,x,y,z)=(1,-2,4,-3)$ .

An equilateral triangle has an apothem of 5 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle to the nearest centimeter.

san4es73 [151]

The apothem is the distance from the center to the midpoint of one of the sides of a regular polygon. You can make a right triangle with the apothem, the line from the midpoint to the corner and the line from the center to the corner. An equilateral triangle has 60 degree angles (180/3). The right triangle has half of one of those angles so 30 degrees. Now we have a 30-60-90 triangle where the short leg is 5cm. The long leg, which is also half of one side of the triangle is thus $5\sqrt{3}$ . A whole side of the triangle is $10\sqrt{3}$ . Multiply that by 3 to get the perimeter of <span> $30\sqrt{3}$ .</span>
