Negative 1 over 2x + 2 = −x + 7

1 answer:

7 0

Multiply by the denominator and solve the resulting quadratic.
.. -1/(2x +2) = -x +7
.. -1 = (2x +2)(-x +7)
.. 2x^2 -12x -15 = 0
And from the quadratic formula
.. x = (12 ±√((-12)^2 -4(2)(-15)))/(2(2))
.. x = 3 ±√16.5

x ≈ -1.062019 or 7.062019

What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle below?

balandron [24]

$\bf \textit{height or altitude of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ h=\cfrac{s\sqrt{3}}{2}~~ \begin{cases} s=\stackrel{length~of}{a~side}\\ \cline{1-1} s=8\sqrt{3} \end{cases}\implies h=\cfrac{8\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}}{2}\implies h=\cfrac{8\sqrt{3^2}}{2} \\\\\\ h=4\cdot 3\implies h=12$
