= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12

= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12

= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12

= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12

= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12


Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.



Percy should follow the following steps :

= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12


Add -12 on both sides,


= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12

= > x² + 7x = 0

= > x( x + 7 ) = 0

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )

= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )



Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7

Sample Response: Percy is not correct because he applied the zero product property to a factored expression that was not equal to 0. He should have subtracted 12 from both sides to get x2 + 7x = 0 before factoring. The correct solutions are 0 and -7.

Please help with 7-9 they are related to the same circle
Andrej [43]

40º

7) In this problem, we can see that both tangent lines to that circle come from the same point O.

So, we can write out the following considering that there is one secant line DO and one tangent line to the circle AO

\begin{gathered} m\angle1=\frac{1}{2}(160-80) \\ m\angle1=\frac{1}{2}(80) \\ m\angle1=40^{\circ} \end{gathered}

A compressed air tank carried by scuba divers has a volume of 8.00 L and a pressure of 141 atm at 22.0°C. What is the volume (in
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Volume of air in the tank =1,044 Liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tank volume = 8 Liter

Pressure = 141 atm

Temperature = 22°C = 273° + 20° = 295° K

Find:

Volume of air in the tank = ?

Computation:

\frac{Pressure\times Tank\ volume}{Tempreture} =\frac{Pressure\times Air\ volume}{Tempreture}\\\\\frac{141\times 8}{295} =\frac{1\times Air\ volume}{273.15}\\\\\frac{1,128}{295} =\frac{Air\ volume}{273.15}\\\\Air\ volume=1,044.45

Volume of air in the tank =1,044 Liter
