Answer:x= 5/2 x= -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x-1)2-9

4(x2-2x+1) - 9

4x2 - 8x + 4 - 9

4x2 - 8x - 5

4x2 +2x - 10x - 5

2x(2x+1) - 5(2x+1)

(2x-5)(2x+1)

therefore, x= 5/2 x= -1/2

Determine whether the vectors u and v are parallel, orthogonal, or neither.

Radda [10]

To check if two vectors are orthogonal(perpendicular), simply check their dot product, if their dot product is 0, then they're perpendicular, let's check.

$\bf \ \textless \ 7,-4\ \textgreater \ \cdot \ \textless \ -28,16\ \textgreater \ \implies (7\cdot -28)+(-4\cdot 16)\implies -196-64
\\\\\\
\boxed{-264}\impliedby \textit{nope, no orthogonal}$

to check if two vectors are parallel, simply check their slope by doing a b/a check, if the slopes are the same, then they're indeed parallel to each other, let's check.

$\bf \textit{slope of \underline{u} }\cfrac{7}{-4}\implies \boxed{-\cfrac{7}{4}}\qquad \qquad \textit{slope of \underline{v} }\cfrac{-28}{16}\implies \boxed{-\cfrac{7}{4}}$

well, there you have it, the slopes are the same.

What is the length of bc in the right triangle below?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: A) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of Pythagorean Theorem, 9^2+12^2=BC^2. Thus, 81+144=BC^2. Thus, 225=BC^2. Thus, 15=BC.

Hope it helps, and ask if you want further clarification <3
