Anestetic [448]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the quadratic formula to get the answer to this

Quadratic Formula: -b +- √b² - 4ac/2a

Once we input A, B, and C into this, and solve any multiplication, we get

x = -1  +- √1 + 20/2

We divide by 2a, which 2a = 2.

-0.5 +- 10.5.

these are the following values of x:

x = 10

x = 11

Pretty sure this is it, hope it helps!

I'm a little bit confused about how to approach this can someone help?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is congruent with ΔDEF.  That means the corresponding sides are congruent.

Look at the order of the letters.  EF are the last two letters of ΔDEF.  So this corresponds with the last two letters of ΔABC.  Therefore, EF ≅ BC.

EF ≅ BC

x² + 8x = 48

x² + 8x − 48 = 0

(x + 12) (x − 4) = 0

x = -12 or 4

Since x can't be negative, x = 4.

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation below in factored form?
saw5 [17]

Answer:

\cfrac{-4}{3} and \cfrac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation:

\rm \:  \: (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

Solution:

Set factors equal to zero,that is:

(2x - 1) = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: ...(1)

(3x + 4) = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: ...(2)

Solving for equation 1:

  • 2x - 1 = 0
  • 2x = 0  + 1
  • 2x =  1

  • \boxed{x =  \cfrac{  1}{2} }

Solving for equation 2:

  • 3x + 4 = 0
  • 3x = 0 - 4
  • 3x =  - 4

  • \boxed{x =  \cfrac{ - 4}{3} }

Hence,the solutions to the quadratic equation in factored form is \cfrac{-4}{3} and \cfrac{1}{2}.

\rule{225pt}{2pt}

Good luck on your assignment!
