Answer:

(a+2)(b+2) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following quadratic equation:

2x^2-3x-6=0

Let a a and b be the solution of the given quadratic equation.

Solving the equation:

2x^2-3x-6=0\\\text{Using the quadratic formula}\\\\x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{Comparing the equation to }ax^2 + bx + c = 0\\\text{We have}\\a = 2\\b = -3\\c = -6\\x = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{9-4(2)(-6)}}{4} = \dfrac{3\pm \sqrt{57}}{4}\\\\a = \dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}, b = \dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}

We have to find the value of (a+2)(b+2).

Putting the values:

(a+2)(b+2)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{3+\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{57}}{4}+2\bigg)\\\\=\bigg(\dfrac{11+\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\bigg(\dfrac{11-\sqrt{57}}{4}\bigg)\\\\=\dfrac{121-57}{156} = \dfrac{64}{16} = 4

PLEASE HELP - Part A Find the value of x in the following figure: Part B Find the measure of ACD
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Part A = 90

Part B = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A, we know that a triangle has a sum of 180 degrees. So we just add the angles we already know and then subtract them from 180. For part B, we know that angle ACB and angle ACD are supplementary angles, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. So just take 180 and subtract 35 to find the measure of angle ACD.
