Answer: a) x = 5 or -1 b) x = √3+2
c) x = -1/2 or -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (x − 2)² = 9
First step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square
√ (x − 2)² = √9
x-2 = +-3
x = +3+2
x = 5 and;
x = -3+2
x = -1
x = 5 or -1
b) 3(x-2)² = 9
First we divide both sides by 3 to get;
(x-2)² = 9/3
(x-2)² = 3
Second step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square
√(x-2)² = √3
x-2 = √3
x = √3+2
c) 6 = 24(x+1)²
Dividing both sides by 24, we have
6/24 = (x+1)²
1/4 = (x+1)²
Taking the square root of both sides we have
√1/4 = √(x+1)²
= +-1/2 = x+1
x = +1/2-1 = -1/2 and;
x = -1/2-1 = -3/2
x = -1/2 or -3/2
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
to prove if NP is tangent to MN
we could prove if NPM is a right triangle
By pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
where a=MN=33
b=NP=180
c=MP=MQ+QP=152+33=185
so
33^2+180^2=185^2
but
1089+32400 is not equal to 34225
33489 is different from 34225
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
GCF: the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator is a factor that can be removed to reduce the fraction.
<em>Example</em>
The numerator and denominator of 6/8 have GCF of 2:
6/8 = (2·3)/(2·4)
The fraction can be reduced by canceling those factors.
(2·3)/(2·4) = (2/2)·(3/4) = 1·(3/4) = 3/4
___
LCM: the least common multiple of the denominators is suitable as a common denominator. Addition and subtraction are easily performed on the numerators when the denominator is common.
<em>Example</em>
The fractions 2/3 and 1/5 can be added using a common denominator of LCM(3, 5) = 15.
2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15 = (10+3)/15 = 13/15
If the 1 were underlined it would be 10,000
If the 6 were underlined it would be 6,000
If the 4 were underlined it would be 400
If the 0 were underlined it would be 0
If the 3 were underlined it would be 3
