Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 -14x -72

0=x^2 - 14x-72

0=x^2 - 18x+4x-72

0=x(x-18)+4(x-18)

0=(x-18)(x+4)

x-18=0 or x+4=0

x1=18 or x2=-4

asis of symmetry: x=(x1+x2)/2

x=(18+(-4))/2

x=14/2

x=7

Someone, please help me with this question.

Answer:

C. 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sumplementary angles sum 180°

144° + a = 180°

a = 180° - 144°

a = 36°

121° + b = 180°

b = 180° - 121°

b = 59°

The sum of internal angles of a triangle is 180°

a + b + c = 180°

36° + 59° + c° = 180°

c° = 180° - (36°+59°)

c° = 180° - 95°

c° = 85°

then:

c + n = 180°

85° + n = 180°

n = 180° - 85°

n = 95°

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$
