Answer:

The length RS = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in determining the length of RS

Let’s have the line segment arranged as follows;

Q R S

where QR = 9 and QS = 16

From the arrangement, we can deduce that;

QS = QR + RS

Thus;

RS = QS - QR

RS = 16 -9

RS = 7

Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation -2=-x+x^2-4 into the quadratic formula?

Greeley [361]

Given the equation:

(1) $-2=-x+ x^{2}-4$

We need to find a, b and c. So, we know that a quadratic equation is given by:

(2) $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$

Then, we need to order the equation (1) and to adjust it to the equation (2), so:

$x^{2}-x-2=0$

So, if we compare these two equations, the conclusion is:

$a=1$
$b=-1$
$c=-2$

(3) $x= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

Substituiting a, b and c into (3):

$x= \frac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^{2}-4(1)(-2)}}{2(1)}$

Finally, the results are two values:

$x_{1}=2$
$x_{2}=-1$
