First we need to factor the left side. Since it is a perfect square (as is the process with completing the square, we know we can take half of the middle number along with x to be in the two parenthesis.
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 25
Now we simplify to show it as a square.
(x - 4)^2 = 25
Next we take the square root of both sides
x - 4 = +/- 5
Note that we have plus or minus 5. This is because either square would give us positive 25. Now we add 4 to both sides
x = 4 +/- 5
4 + 5 = 9
4 - 5 = -1
Answer:
a=20 m²
b=21 cm²
c=36 dm²
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 12²+16²=a²
144+256=a²
400=a²
√400=a
a=20
B) 28²+b²=35²
784+b²=1225
b²=1225-784
b²=441
b=√441
b=21
C) c²+15²=39²
c²+225=1521
c²=1296
c=√1296
c=36
Answer:
C. 4.09 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the shadow cast by a person be x m.
Answer:
60% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
152 - 95 = -57
57 / 95 = 0.6
0.6 x 100 = 60
Since <em>x</em> is the number of 14-year periods, the first thing we do is divide 28 years by 14. 28/14=2. Now we use that in our function,
.
There will be 220 foxes after 28 years.
