If the length of HJ is 7 find x

So to find x we need to add both HI and IJ - which we know equals 7:

(4x+13)+(x^{2}+3x+4)=7

Then we need to combine like terms:

x^{2}+7x+17=7

And then set equal to 0:

x^{2}+7x+10=0

Then we can factor:

(x+5)(x+2)=0

So then when we set each term equal to 0 individually and solve for x we get: x = -5 and x = -2.

So we have these two values - we need to test which one is correct. So if we go back to the HI segment, let's try plugging in x = -5:

4(-5)+13=-7

This gives us a negative number, which we know that length cannot be negative. Let's try x = -2:

4(-2)+13=5

This gives us a positive length and therefore we can keep this value.

So the answer is: x = -2.

HJ = HI + IJ

HJ = (4x+13) +(x² + 3x + 4)= x² + 7x + 17, also HJ = 7

x² + 7x + 17=7

x² + 7x +10=0

(x+5)(x+2)=0

x=-5, or x= - 2

Check:

HJ = x² + 7x + 17

x= - 5, HI = 4x + 13= -4*5 + 13 = -7 (It is impossible, because length of the segment cannot be negative).

x= -2, HI= 4x + 13= 4*(-2) +13 = 5

Answer: x is -2.

Solve for x if the Perimeter = 26<br> 14-2x<br> 2x + 1<br> 3x - 1
sergejj [24]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Perimeter of triangle = sum of all sides</em>

Side 1: 14 - 2x

Side 2: 3x - 1

Side 3: 2x + 1

<em>Perimeter= side 1 + side 2 + side 3</em>

26 = 14 - 2x + 3x - 1 + 2x + 1

26 = 14 - 1 + 1 - 2x + 3x + 2x

26 = 14 + 3x

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

A property of rectangles is that opposite sides are congruent. In this case, since QT and RS are opposite sides, they are equal to each other. With this knowledge, you can form the equation 50=4x+8 to solve for x.

Firstly, subtract both sides by 8: 42=4x

Next, divide both sides by 4 and your answer will be 10.5=x, or the third option.

Solve in radians help plz
PIT_PIT [208]
I think we can use the identity  sin x/2  = sqrt [(1 - cos x) /2]

cos x -  sqrt3 sqrt ( 1 - cos x) /sqrt2 = 1

cos x - sqrt(3/2) sqrt(1 - cos x) = 1
sqrt(3/2)(sqrt(1 - cos x) =  cos x - 1   Squaring both sides:-
1.5 ( 1 - cos x) = cos^2 x - 2 cos x + 1

cos^2 x - 0.5 cos x - 0.5 = 0 

cos x = 1 , -0.5

giving x = 0 , 2pi, 2pi/3,  4pi/3  ( for  0  =< x <= 2pi)

because of thw square roots some of these solutions may be extraneous so we should plug these into the original equations to see if they fit.

The last 2 results dont fit so the answer is  x = 0 , 2pi Answer
