No, John is incorrect.

<h3>Correct work shown:</h3>

\sf x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0

\sf x^2 - 6x = 7

\sf x^2 - 6x  + 9= 7 + 9

\sf (x-3)^2= 16

\sf x-3=\pm \sqrt{16}

\sf x-3= \pm 4

\sf x= + 4 + 3 \quad or \quad x = -4 + 3

\sf x= 7 \quad or \quad x = -1

The correct answer should be x = 7 or x = -1

How do I construct bisectors, angles, &amp; segments?
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These come directly from my textbook, so I'm not sure if your teacher will accept this kind of work.

1. Angle construction:

Given an angle. construct an angle congruent to the given angle.

Given: Angle ABC

Construct: An angle congruent to angle ABC

Procedure:

1. Draw a ray. Label it ray RY.

2. Using B as center and any radius, draw an arc that intersects ray BA and ray BC. Label the points of intersection D and E, respectively.

3. Using R as center and the same radius as in Step 2, draw an arc intersecting ray RY. Label the arc XS, with S being the point where the arc intersects ray RY.

4. Using S as center and a radius equal to DE, draw an arc that intersects arc XS at a point Q.

5. Draw ray RQ.

Justification (for congruence): If you draw line segment DE and line segment QS, triangle DBE is congruent to triangle QRS (SSS postulate) Then angle QRS is congruent to angle ABC.

You can probably also Google videos if it's hard to imagine this. Sorry, construction is super hard to describe.

Two numbers whose sum is 44 and whose product is a maximum
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

x = y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

It would help to know your math course. Do you know any calculus? I'll assume not.

Equations

x + y = 44

Max = xy

Solution

y = 44 - x

Max = x (44 - x)                    Remove the brackets

Max = 44x - x^2                   Use the distributive property to take out - 1 on the right.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x )               Complete the square inside the brackets.

Max = - (x^2 - 44x + (44/2)^2 ) + (44 / 2)^2 . You have to understand this step. What you have done  is taken 1/2 the x term and squared it. You are trying to complete the square. You must compensate by adding that amount on the end of the equation. You add because of that minus sign outside the brackets. The number inside will be minus when the brackets are removed.

Max = -(x - 22)^2 + 484

The maximum occurs when x = 22. That's because - (x - 22) becomes 0.

If it is not zero it will be minus and that will subtract from 484

x + y = 44

xy = 484

When you solve this, you find that x = y = 22 If you need more detail, let me know.
