The value of x is 8 from the diagram given.

<h3>How do you calculate the sides of similar triangles?</h3>

The corresponding sides of a similar triangle are said to be in proportion if and only if the corresponding angle are also equal.

To calculate the side of line x (|x|), we have to determine the ratios of the corresponding sides as:

$\mathbf{\dfrac{BC}{DC} = \dfrac{AC}{EC}}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{x}{10} = \dfrac{12}{15}}$

x = 120/15

x = 8

Therefore, we can conclude that the value of x is 8.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Solutions to the equation are $=\frac{-5+/-\sqrt{17} }{2}$

which agrees with the last option listed among the possible answers

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this quadratic equation via the quadratic formula:

$x^2+5x=-2\\x^2+5x+2=0\\ \\x=\frac{-5+/-\sqrt{25-4(1)(2)} }{2\,(1)} \\x=\frac{-5+/-\sqrt{17} }{2}$

Use completing the square to rewrite the given function in vertex form. Determine whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation as written doesn’t work. Are you sure it is y = x² + 4x - 10, and not

y = -x² + 4x - 10 ?

y = -(x² - 4x) - 10

y = -(x² - 4x + 2²) + 2² - 10

y = -(x-2)² - 6

the vertex is a maximum at (2,-6)
