Answer:

The solutions are x = -7 - 8i and x = -7 + 8i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

$x^2+14x+17=-96$

Subtracting 17 on both sides,

$x^2+14x=-113$

Adding 49 on both sides,

$x^2+14x+49=-64$

$(x+7)^2=-64$

$x + 7 = \pm\sqrt{-64}$

$x + 7=\pm 8i$ ( √-1 = i )

$x = -7\pm 8i$

Thus, the solutions are x = -7 - 8i and x = -7 + 8i

72 The length of a side of a triangle is 36. A line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. Fin

katrin [286]

Answer:

18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle sharing a vertex with the larger one is similar and half the area. That means its linear dimensions are √(1/2) = (√2)/2 times those of the larger triangle.

The line segment of interest has length ...

36 × (√2)/2 = 18√2

_____

The ratio of area of similar figures is the square of the ratio of their linear dimensions. Thus the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the ratio of area.

Three cell phones towers can be modeled by the points X(6,0), Y(8,4), and Z(3,9). Determine the location of another cell phone t

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is $(h,k) = (3,4)$ , and the equation of the circle is $x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

$x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0$ (1)
