Mathematics

Answer:

x₁ = -4

x₂ = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+ x + 12 = 0

x = {-1±√((1²)-(4*1*-12))} / (2*1)

x = {-1±√(1+48)} / 2

x = {-1±√49} / 2

x = {-1±7} / 2

x₁ = {-1-7} / 2 = -8/2 = -4

x₂ = {-1+7} / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Check:

x₁

-4² + (-4) - 12 = 0

16 - 4 - 12 = 0

x₂

3² + 3 - 12 = 0

9 + 3 - 12 = 0

What is the height of a triangular prism that has a height of 9 meters and a base with the following deminsions 4m 14m

Andrew [12]

Answer:

252m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid having a triangular base is what we call a triangular prism. For every prism, its volume is always equal to the area of its base times its height. In other words:

V = AxH

V - volume

A- area

H - height of prism

We know that:

h = 4 m (side of base)

b = 14 (other base side)

A = bh/2 = 14x4/2 = 28 m^2

And then: V = A x H = 28 x 9 = 252 m^3

Question 4 A triangle has two sides that are 8 cm and 13 cm. What could be the length of the triangle's third side? Select three

Lisa [10]

know what is the third side length

the difference between the 2 other sides < the greatest side of triangle < the sum of 2 other sides

so here the answers here could be ( 10- 17 - 20)

10-8 < 13 < 10+8

13-8 < 17 < 13+8

13-8 < 20 < 13+8
