3x - x²
x(3) - x(x)
x(3 - x)
Your answer is right.

Yes you are correct, GCF of both terms is x, so you can factor x out.

3x - x² ⇒ x(3 - x)

In the right ΔABC, AN is the altitude to the hypotenuse. Find BN, AN, and AC, if AB=2√5 in and NC= 1 in.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$BN=4\ \text{in}$

$AN=2\ \text{in}$

$AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $BN=x$

$BC=c$

$NC=y=1\ \text{in}$

$AB=a=2\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

$AC=b$

We have the relation

$\dfrac{BC}{AB}=\dfrac{AB}{BN}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c}{a}=\dfrac{a}{x}\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x+1=\dfrac{a^2}{x}\\\Rightarrow x^2+x=20\\\Rightarrow x^2+x-20=0\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4\times 1\times \left(-20\right)}}{2\times 1}\\\Rightarrow x=4,-5$

$\boldsymbol{BN=4\ \text{in}}$

$h=\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{5})^2-4^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2\ \text{in}$

$\boldsymbol{AN=2\ \text{in}}$

$b=\sqrt{h^2+y^2}\\\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{2^2+1^2}\\\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}$

$\boldsymbol{AC=\sqrt{5}\ \text{in}}$

Two cylinders have equal diameters. are their volumes also equal? is the same true for cones and spheres?

Paraphin [41]

<span>Although two cylinders may have equal diameters, their volumes are not necessarily equal, as the volume of a cylinder is dependent also on the cylinder's height. The same holds true for cones. Spheres, however, are, by nature, proportional. Therefore, if two spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same volumes.</span>
