Answer:
i think the second answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use pythag theorem and divide c by two:
-3^2+4^2=c^2
9+16= 25
c=5
however, 5/2=2.5
Answer:
<em>The product of an even number of negatives give us a positive number. An odd number of - 1's gives us a negative one, -1. This can be applied to any set of products. The product of an odd number of negatives give us a negative number. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2-9x=-8
x^2-9x+8=-8+8
x^2-9x+8=0
(x-8)(x-1)=0
x-8=0
x-8+8=0+8
x=8
x-1=0
x-1+1=0+1
x=1
There are 2 solutions, which are 1 and 8
Answer:
(x, y) = (-0.6, 0.8) or (1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the second equation to substitute for y in the first.
(x -1)² +((2x +2) -2)² = 4
x -2x +1 + 4x² = 4 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x² -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4, collect terms
Now we can rearrange the middle term to ease factoring by grouping.
(5x² -5x) +(3x -3) = 0
5x(x -1) +3(x -1) = 0
(5x +3)(x -1) = 0
The values of x that make these factors zero are ...
x = -3/5, x = 1
The corresponding values of y are ...
y = 2(-3/5)+2 = 4/5 . . . . for x = -3/5
y = 2(1) +2 = 4 . . . . . . . . for x = 1
The solutions are: (x, y) = (-3/5, 4/5) or (1, 4).
