Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, we know in our case

b(b+12) = 189 cm²

b² + 12b - 189 = 0

let's try to solve this by completing the square.

that means we try to find the expression

(b + k)² + c

that is equal to

b² + 12b - 189

(b + k)² + c = b² + 2kb + k² + c = b² + 12b - 189

so,

2k = 12

k = 6

and then

k² + c = -189

6² + c = -189

36 + c = -189

c = -225

(b + 6)² - 225 = 0

(b + 6)² = 225

b + 6 = 15

b = 9

so, the baseline b = 9 cm.

the height b+12 = 9+12 = 21 cm.

Given Situation:Joe is a car salesman. He earns 300 for every car he sells plus a 3 percent commission. Joe sells 3 cars in one week for a total of 35,243.Questin: what are his total earnings for the week.First let's solve for the number of cars.=> 1 car = 300 dollars=> 3 cars = 3 * 300 = 900 dollarsNow, let's solve for the percentage of his commision:=> 35 243 dollars = total amount he received for the 3 cars he sold.=> 35 243 dollars  * 0.03 = 1 057.29 dollars is the commision.Now, let's add=> 900 + 1 057.29 = 1 957.29 dollars<span>

Use the identity (x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2−y^2)^2+(2xy)^2 to determine the sum of the squares of two numbers if the difference of the squ
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2)^2+2x^2y^2+(y^2)^2

Adding and substracting 2x^2y^2

We get

(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2)^2+2x^2y^2+(y^2)^2 +2x^2y^2-2x^2y^2

And we know a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2

So we identify (x^2)^2 as a^2 ,(y^2)^2 as b^2 and -2x^2y^2 as - 2ab. So we can rewrite (x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2 - y^2)^2 + 2x^2y^2 + 2x^2y^2= (x^2 - y^2)^2+4x^2y^2= (x^2 - y^2)^2+2^2x^2y^2

Moreever we know (a·b·c)^2=a^2·b^2·c^2 than means 2^2x^2y^2=(2x·y)^2

And (x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2 - y^2)^2 + (2x·y)^2
