Mathematics

It's a quadratic equation. Solve it through factorisation.

5s^2 - 14s - 3 = 0
(5s + 1)(s - 3) = 0

5s + 1 = 0
or
s - 3 = 0

Therefore

s = -1/5
or
s = 3

A right triangle has coordinates A(6, 0), B(0, 0), and C(0, 8). What is the perimeter of the triangle?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given coordinates

A(6, 0), B(0, 0) then AB = 6 - 0 = 6

B(0, 0), C(0, 8) then BC = 8 - 0 = 8

To calculate AC use Pythagoras' theorem on the right triangle formed

AC² = AB² + BC² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100

Take the square root of both sides, hence

AC = \sqrt{100} = 10

Perimeter = AB + BC + AC = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 → C

11b-7-3n+8-5b+9n what is the answer
Sergio [31]

Answer:

6 n + 6 b + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

11 b - 7 - 3 n + 8 - 5 b + 9 n

Grouping like terms, 11 b - 7 - 3 n + 8 - 5 b + 9 n = (9 n - 3 n) + (11 b - 5 b) + (8 - 7):

(9 n - 3 n) + (11 b - 5 b) + (8 - 7)

9 n - 3 n = 6 n:

6 n + (11 b - 5 b) + (8 - 7)

11 b - 5 b = 6 b:

6 n + 6 b + (8 - 7)

8 - 7 = 1:

Answer: 6 n + 6 b + 1

#20 please help me with this Austin’s and an explanation please
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

10 2/15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a candle that is 11 2/5 inches tall

It burns 1 1/8 inches per hour.  We need to divide to see how long the candle will last

11 2/5 ÷ 1 1/8

I will convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions

11 2/5 = (5*11+2)/5 = 57/5

1 1/8 = (8*1+1)/8 = 9/8

57/5 ÷ 9/8

Copy dot flip

57/5 * 8/9

456/45

Now we change it back to a mixed number

45 goes into 456  10 times with 6 left over

10 6/45

This simplifies to 10 2/15
