Determine the solution set of (x - 4)2 = 12.

1 answer:

3 0

(x-4)2=12
First, you want to divide both sides by 2 to eliminate the 2 outside of the parenthesis. That leaves you with:
(x-4)=6
Then add four to both sides to eliminate the four inside the parenthesis:
x=10

To check work, substitute ten in for x in the original equation:
(10-4)2=12
(6)2=12
12=12, so this is correct :)

A line has a slope of -13. There is a second line that passes through points (-7,-5) and (6,-4) . Would these lines be parallel

Elza [17]

<h3>Answer: The lines are perpendicular</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the two given points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - (-5))/(6 - (-7))

m = (-4 + 5)/(6 + 7)

m = 1/13

The slope of the line through the two given points is 1/13.

This is not equal to -13, which was the slope of the first line, so the two lines are not parallel.

However, the two lines are perpendicular because multiplying the two slope values leads to -1

(slope1)*(slope2) = (-13)*(1/13) = -1

note: It might help to think of -13 as -13/1 to help multiply the fractions.

Find the value of x number on top is 6 and other is 9

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

x = - 12, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

By tangent secant theorem:

$x(x + 9) = {6}^{2} \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 9x = 36 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 9x - 36 = 0 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 12x - 3x - 36 = 0 \\ \\ x(x + 12) - 3(x + 12) = 0 \\ \\ (x + 12)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \\ x + 12 = 0, \: \: x - 3 = 0 \\ \\ x = - 12, \: \: x = 3 \\ \\$
