We have the following expression:
 (x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
 Let's rewrite the given expression:
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
 x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
 Answer:
 
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
 
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0

Susan found the equation of the best fit line for the data shown in the scatterplot. The slope of the line of best fit is
Ivan

Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

From the scatter plot displayed, we could clearly observe the direction of the trend line as it produces a negative slope. For high values of y, the values of x are low and similarly, high values of x have low y values. Therefore, this kind of relationship between the two variables is considered negative.

Select the correct answer from each drop down menu. In the figure, AB=__inches and AC=___
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: In the figure AB is about 8.4 inches and AC is about 13.05 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: We can use cosine to find the hypotenuse. cos(40)=\frac{10}{x} \\cos(40) (x)=\frac{10}{x}(x)\\cos(40) (x) =10\\\frac{cos(40) (x)}{cos (40)} =\frac{10}{cos (40)} \\x=\frac{10}{cos(40)}

Using a calculator x is about 13.05

Using tangent we can find the length opposite of <C

tan(40)=\frac{x}{10} \\tan(40) (10)=\frac{x}{10}(10)\\tan(40) (10) = x

Using a calculator x would be about 8.4

Help Please!!<br> What is the value of a?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> a =
Talja [164]

Answer:

a=15

Step-by-step explanation:

By pythagoras' theorem

25²=20²+a²

625=400+a² group like terms

a²=625-400

a²=225

\sqrt{a {}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{225}

therefore a=15
