Answer:

x=-7      x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+5x-14=0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -14 and add to 5

7*-2 = 14

7 -2 =5

(x+7) (x-2) = 0

Using the zero product property

x+7 = 0   x-2 =0

x=-7      x=2

Answer:
x=(2,-7)

Instruction:

I struggled with factoring too, it’s not easy to learn, but there are a few tricks i know that make factoring equations with a 2 power very simple!

Before you begin factoring, the equation must be equal to zero.

The first trick:

Write down “ (x )(x ) = 0 .” This is the outline for your answer.

The second trick:

In equations like these, there are always going to be some combination of two plus or minus symbols. The most important one is the second. If the second sign is a plus sign, the equations will have the same sign as the first sign in the equation. If the second sign is a minus sign, then the signs in the new equation will be different.

(x - )(x + ) = 0

The third trick is to find the numbers that are subtracted from x. These numbers are positive or negative based on the sign in the equation next to their placement, and are a multiple of the y-intercept value (the 3rd number, -14). The sum of these numbers must be equal to the slope (positive 5)
In this case, the sum of -2 and +7 is equal to the slope, and the product of these numbers is -14. Fill these in respectively.

(x - 2 )(x + 7 ) = 0

Now we can infer the answers from here. The solutions to this equation are equal to the opposite of the numbers.

The opposite of -2 is +2, or just 2, and the opposite of 7 is -7.

x = (2,-7)

This can be checked by plugging in the numbers to the last equation. Lets check 2 first.

((2) -2)(x+7)=0
(0)(x+7)=0
0=0
2 is correct.

(x-2)((-7)+7)=0
(x-2)(0)=0
0=0
7 is correct.

I have know proven my answer to be correct! Have a nice day

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Given

g(r) = (r + 14)² - 49

To obtain the zeros, let g(r) = 0 , that is

(r + 14)² - 49 = 0 ( add 49 to both sides )

(r + 14)² = 49 ( take the square root of both sides )

r + 14 = ± \sqrt{49} = ± 7 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

r = - 14 ± 7, then

r = - 14 - 7 = - 21 ← smaller r

r = - 14 + 7 = - 7 ← larger r

(2)

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

g(r) = (r + 14)² - 49 ← is in vertex form

with vertex = (- 14, - 49 )

Answer:

  • see below for a drawing
  • the area of one of the trapezoids is 20 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

No direction or other information about the desired parallelogram is given here, so we drew one arbitrarily. Likewise for the segment cutting it in half. It is convenient to have the bases of the trapezoids be the sides of the parallelogram that are 5 units apart.

The area of one trapezoid is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (1/2)(3+5)·5 = 20 . . . . square units

The sum of the trapezoid base lengths is necessarily the length of the base of the parallelogram, so the area of the trapezoid is necessarily 1/2 the area of the parallelogram. (The area is necessarily half the area of the parallelogram also because the problem has us divide the parallelogram into two identical parts.)

Circle C has radius of 10 cm. Each of points B and D is on the midpoint of the radius. Find the area of the shaded region.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Simple :)
Area of shaded part = are of 1/4 circle - area of both triangles.
Are of circle = pie r^2 so 100x3.14 = 314 cm2.
Area of triangle AOB= area of triangleDOE = bh/2= 5x10/2= 25 each
However, the traingles share a common area which is quad DOB(I)
Lets take traingle AOE, whose are is bh/2=10x10/2=50cm2.
50-area of triangle A(I)E= 50-(
