Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Always do opposite. E.g, opposite of square is square root.

x(x + 4) = 6

expand brackets

x^2 + 4 = 6

minus 4 from both sides

x^2 = 6 - 4

square root everything

x = \sqrt{6-4}

The solution to the equation x(x+4) = 6 is x = -2 + √10 or x = -2 - √10 after solving with the quadratic formula.

<h3>What is a quadratic equation?</h3>

Any equation of the form \rm ax^2+bx+c=0 where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

As we know, the formula for the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:

\rm x = \dfrac{-b \pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

We have an equation:

x(x + 4) = 6

By distributive property:

x² + 4x = 6

x² + 4x - 6 = 0

a = 1, b = 4, c = -6

Plugging all the values in the formula:

\rm x = \dfrac{-4 \pm\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}

After calculating:

\rm x = \dfrac{-4 \pm\sqrt{40}}{2}

\rm x=-2+\sqrt{10},\ \ \ or \ \ \ x=-2-\sqrt{10}

Thus, the solution to the equation x(x+4) = 6 is x = -2 + √10 or x = -2 - √10 after solving with the quadratic formula.

In the right ΔABC, AN is the altitude to the hypotenuse. Find BN, AN, and AC, if AB=2√5 in and NC= 1 in.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

BN=4\ \text{in}

AN=2\ \text{in}

AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let BN=x

BC=c

NC=y=1\ \text{in}

AB=a=2\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}

AC=b

We have the relation

\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{AB}{BN}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c}{a}=\dfrac{a}{x}\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x+1=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x^2+x=20\\\Rightarrow x^2+x-20=0\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\times 1\times \left(-20\right)}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow x=4,-5

\boldsymbol{BN=4\ \text{in}}

h=\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{5})^2-4^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2\ \text{in}

\boldsymbol{AN=2\ \text{in}}

b=\sqrt{h^2+y^2}\\\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{2^2+1^2}\\\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}

\boldsymbol{AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}}
