The area of a right triangle is found using the formula 1/2 x base x height.

Using the provided information the equation becomes:

60 = 1/2 * 5x * (3x-1)

Combine 1/2 and 5x:

60 = 5x/2 * (3x-1)

Multiply each term by 2/5:

24 = 3x^2 - x

Subtract 24 from each side:

3x^2 - x - 24 = 0

Now factor the polynomial:

(x-3)(3x+8) = 0

Solve for each x for 0:

3-3 = 0, so x = 3

3x +8 = 0 : subtract 8 from each side:

3x = -8

divide both sides by 3: x = -8/3

Since a side of a triangle cannot be a negative value, we now know x = 3

Now replace x in each side with 3 and solve:

5x = 5(3) = 5 x 3 = 15

3x-1 = 3(3)-1 = 9-1 = 8

The points A-1,-9) and K(5,1) are endpoints of a diameter of circle 5. Which equation represents circle S?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the extremities of diameter,then eq. of circle is

(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0

reqd. eq. is (x+1)(x-5)+(y+9)(y-1)=0

x^{2} +x-5x-5+y^2+9y-y-9=0\\x^{2} -4x+y^2+8y-14=0\\compare with x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0\\center (-g,-f) \\radius r=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}

center is (2,-4)

r=√(2²+(-4)²-(-14))

=√(4+16+14)

=√(34)

eq. of circle is (x-2)²+(y+4)²=34

or

(x²-4x)+(y²+8y)=14

(x²-4x+4)+(y²+8y+16)=14+4+16

(x-2)²+(y+4)²=34

I have an hour to finish, help a girl out
mr_godi [17]

If you're going to use technology (Brainly) to solve this problem, you might find you get a quicker answer using the technology of your graphing calculator.

It is often convenient to cast the problem in the form f(θ) = 0. You can do that by adding 1 to both sides of the equation.

4\sqrt{2}\cos{(\theta)}+4=0\\ \cos{(\theta)}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0\qquad\mbox{divide by $4\sqrt{2}$}\\ \cos{(\theta)}=\dfrac{-\sqrt{2}}{2}\qquad\mbox{subtract $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$}\\\\ \theta=\{\dfrac{3\pi}{4},\dfrac{5\pi}{4}\}\qquad\mbox{determine the corresponding angles}
