Answer:
C) 21
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + 20² = 29² Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for a
a² + 400 = 841 Solve for the exponents
- 400 - 400 Subtract 400 from both sides
a² = 441 Take the square root of both sides
a = 21
Vertex coordinates: (h, k)
Vertex form: y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 2(x+3) + 2(x+4)
Use distributive property:
y = 2((x+3)+(x+4))
Simplify:
y = 2(2x+7)
y = 4x+14
This is slope - intercept form, not vertex form. Vertex form is for quadratic equations - this is a linear equation.
Answer (in slope - intercept form):
y = 4x+14
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


- In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value,
. In this case, we need to isolate
in the first equation so that both equations
.



- With this, we now know that both
and
are equal to
, so we can set them equal to each other.



- Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for
.







- Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.
-3 + 3n = -6 - 6n. Expand the brackets
3n + 6n = -6 + 3. Collect like terms
9n = -3
n = -3/9 = -1/3
