ANSWER EXPLANATION: There are two ways to solve this question. The faster way is to multiply each side of the given equation by ax−2 (so you can get rid of the fraction). When you multiply each side by ax−2, you should have:

24x2+25x−47=(−8x−3)(ax−2)−53

You should then multiply (−8x−3) and (ax−2) using FOIL.

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x+6−53

Then, reduce on the right side of the equation

24x2+25x−47=−8ax2−3ax+16x−47

Since the coefficients of the x2-term have to be equal on both sides of the equation, −8a=24, or a=−3.

The other option which is longer and more tedious is to attempt to plug in all of the answer choices for a and see which answer choice makes both sides of the equation equal.

The answer is B

Suppose △ITH≅△APG.<br><br> Which congruency statement is true?
kupik [55]

It is given that the triangles ITH and APG are congruent.

When the two triangles are congruent, then the corresponding angles and sides are congruent to each other.

By being congruent, the corresponding angles which are congruent are:

IT \cong AP, TH \cong PG, IH \cong AG

Therefore, IH \cong AG

SO, Option 2 is the correct answer.

What is the solution for 5x^2-x+6=0
kati45 [8]

The easiest way to solve this problem is by using the Pythagorean theorem :D

Pythagorean theorem: [-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

5 = a

-1 = b

6 = c

therefore, by plugging these values in!

[-(-1) +- sqrt((-1)^2 - 4(5)(6))]/2(5)

[1 +- sqrt(1 - 120)]/10

Oh so we're using imaginary numbers, so in this case you'll need to know that i = sqrt(-1), so keep this in mind (I can see why this was so difficult)

[1 +- sqrt(119)*i]10

answers:

( 1 + i*sqrt(119) ) / 10

( 1 - i*sqrt(119) ) / 10

A ball is dropped from a cliff that is 135 m high.
Anna [14]

Answer:

113 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume you meant h = -4.9t^2 + 135; "t2" is incorrect.

To answer this question, to find the height of the ball after 2.1 seconds, substitute 2.1 for t in the above equation:

h(2.1) = -4.9(2.1)^2 + 135.  This becomes -21.6 + 135, or 113.4.

The closest result to the height of the ball after 2.1 seconds is 113 feet.
