Answer:
5x - 3
The product of 5 and x, minus 3
Answer:
x =-5± 2i sqrt(14)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 10x= -81
Take the coefficient of x and divide by 2
10/2 = 5
Square it
5^2 =25
add to each side
x^2 + 10x+25 = -81+25
( x+5) ^2 = -56
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(( x+5) ^2) =± sqrt(-56)
x+5 = ± sqrt(-1) sqrt(4*14)
x+5 =± i sqrt(4)sqrt(14)
x+5 =± i 2 sqrt(14)
Subtract 5 from each side
x+5-5 =-5± i 2 sqrt(14)
x =-5± 2i sqrt(14)
Answer:
Base = x = 18ft
Height = x - 4 = 14ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of A the triangle is given by the following equation:
1) A = (base * heigth)/(2)
From this problem, we know that
base = x and that the height is 4ft less than the base, so height = base - 4 = x - 4.
We also know that the area is 126ft², so A = 126 ft². Now we can replace these informations in equation 1).
126 = (x(x-4))/2
x² - 4x = 252
x² -4x - 252 = 0
The roots of this equation are x = 18 or x = -14. But we know that a triangle cannot have negative dimensions, so we use x = 18.
The base is x, so base = 18ft.
Height is 4ft less than the base, so height equals 18-4 = 14ft
