The perimeter of parallelogram ABCD is computed as follows:

$P=2(AD+AB)$

AD is 2 cm more than twice AB, that is,

AD = 2 + 2AB

Replacing this information and P = 106 cm into the previous equation, we get:

$\begin{gathered} 106=2(2+2AB+AB) \\ 106=2(2+3AB) \\ \frac{106}{2}=2+3AB \\ 53-2=3AB \\ \frac{51}{3}=AB \\ 17cm=AB \end{gathered}$

Then, the measure of segment AD is:

AD = 2 + 2x17

AD = 2 + 34

AD = 36 cm

Side AB is opposite to side CD, then

CD = 17 cm

Side BC is opposite to side AD, then

BC = 36 cm

Answer:

The numbers are 38, 39, and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 3 consecutive Integral numbers be;

x, x+1, x+2

We are informed that the sum of the 3 consecutive Integral numbers is 117. Therefore;

x + x+1 + x + 2 = 117

3x + 3 = 117

3x = 114

x = 38

x+1 = 39

x+2 = 40

PLEASE HELP ASAP !! (Picture included)

This is the question that's gonna put me over the top and make me a Brainly Genius. Of course working for free doing middle school math homework doesn't really sound like a genius, but I'm doing it anyway.

This one is the Pythagorean Theorem of course:

$(x+3)^2 + (x+4)^2 = (x+10)^2$

$x^2 + 6x + 9 + x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 20 x + 100$

$x^2 - 6x - 75 = 0$

The Shakespeare Quadratic Formula (2b or -2b) is a little shortcut for the quadratic formula when the middle term is even.

$x^2-2bx+c \textrm{ has zeros } x=b\pm \sqrt{b^2-c}$

So we get

$x = 3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 -(-75)} = 3 \pm \sqrt{84} = 3 \pm 2 \sqrt{21}$

The minus root is less than -6 giving negative sides, so we reject it and conclude

$x = 3 + 2 \sqrt{21}$

Choice C

When I hit Add I officially become a Genius. Maybe I should retire.

Write the left side of each equation as a product of linear factors, and state the solutions.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a). $x_{1}=1$ , $x_{2}=1$ , $x_{3}=1$

b). $x_{1}=2$ , $x_{2}=2$ , $x_{3}=2$

c). $x_{1} = \sqrt{-5}$ , $x_{2} = \sqrt{-5}$ , $x_{2} = \sqrt{-2}$ , $x_{4} = \sqrt{-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{3}-1=0\\x^{3}=1\\ x=(1 )^{\frac{1}{3} }$

$x=1$

$x^{3}+8=0\\x^{3}=-8\\ x=(-8 )^{\frac{1}{3} }$

$x= 2i$

$x^{4} +7x^{2} +10=0\\x^{4}=u^{2} \\x^{2}=u\\ u^{2}+7u+10=0\\$

Using

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{7^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}$

$u=\frac{-7+/-\sqrt{7^{2}-4*10}}{2}=-\frac{7}{2} +/- \frac{\sqrt{49-40} }{2} \\ u=-\frac{7}{2} +/- \frac{3}{2} \\u_{1}= -5\\u_{2}= -2$

But u is no the factor is x so:

$x=\sqrt{u}\\ x_{1} =\sqrt{-5} =5i\\ x_{2} =\sqrt{-2} =2i$

Check:

$(\sqrt{5i})^{4} +7*(\sqrt{5i})^{2} +10=0\\25*i^{4} +7*5*i^{2}+10=0\\ 25*1+7*5*-1+10\\25-35+10=0\\0=0$
