The value of x will be2.217 and PR will be 13.085 units.

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line section that can connect two places is referred to as a segment.

In other words, a line segment is just part of a big line that is straight and going unlimited in both directions.

The line is here! It extends endlessly in both directions and has no beginning or conclusion.

Given that,

Line PQ consists of two segments PR and RQ

So,

PQ = PR + RQ

17 = 5x+2 + x² - 1

x² + 5x  - 16 = 0

The roots of the equation will be

x = [-5 + √(25 + 64) ] ÷ 2

x = 2.217

Now,

PR = 5(2.217) + 2 = 13.085

Hence "The value of x will be2.217 and PR will be 13.085 units".

Simplify the expression 17y-2x+3(3x-y)+2x
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

9x+14y

Step-by-step explanation:

First Multiply the number outside of the brackets with the numbers inside the brackets. Ex:3 x 3x and 3 x -y

17y-2x+3(3x-y)+2x

That should get you to this.

17y-2x+9x-3y+2x

Next combine like terms.

14y+9x

Hope this helps!

A pumpkin is launched directly upwards at 72 feet per second from a platform 12 feet high. The pumpkin's height, h, at time t se
Illusion [34]

Answer:

93 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find the time it takes to reach the maximum height. We can do this by differentiating the height function to get velocity:

dh(t)/dt = v(t) = -32t + 72

The maximum height will occur when the velocity becomes 0. Therefore, the time it takes to reach maximum height is:

0 = -32t + 72

32t = 72

t = 72/32 = 2.25 seconds

Therefore, the maximum height of the pumpkin is:

h(2.25) = -16(2.25)^2 + 72(2.25) + 12

h(2.25) = -81 + 162 + 12

h = 93 feet
